4 But3588 sought1875 to the LORD God430 of his father,1 and walked1980 in his commandments,4687 and not3808 after the doings4639 of Israel.3478

10 And the fear6343 of the LORD3068 fell1961 upon5921 all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the lands776 that834 were round about5439 Judah,3063 so that they made no war3898 3808 against5973 Jehoshaphat.3092

13 And he had1961 much7227 business4399 in the cities5892 of Judah:3063 and the men376 of war,4421 mighty men1368 of valor,2428 were in Jerusalem.3389

14 And these428 are the numbers6486 of them according to the house1004 of their fathers:1 Of Judah,3063 the captains8269 of thousands;505 Adnah5734 the chief,8269 and with5973 him mighty men1368 of valor2428 three7969 hundred3967 thousand.505

15 And next5921 3027 to him was Jehohanan3076 the captain,8269 and with5973 him two hundred3967 and fourscore8084 thousand.505

16 And next5921 3027 him was Amasiah6007 the son1121 of Zichri,2147 who willingly offered himself5068 unto the LORD;3068 and with him5973 two hundred3967 thousand505 mighty men1368 of valor.2428

Chapter 17

1 AND Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

2 And he placed mighty men in all the fortified cities of Judah, and appointed governors in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had taken.

3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the first ways of his father David and did not pray to images;

4 But he prayed to the LORD God of his father and walked in his commandments and kept his statutes, and did not do according to the ways of Israel.

5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought presents to Jehoshaphat and he had riches and honor in abundance.

6 And his heart was strengthened in the ways of the LORD; moreover he uprooted the altars and the high places which were within the territory of Judah.

7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent and called his princes and the commanders of the armies, even to Obadiah, Zechariah, Nathanael, Melachiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

8 And with them were the Levites, even Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zechariah, Ashaiel, Natorah, Jonathan, Adonijah, and Tobiah. These were all Levites, and with them were Elishama and Jehoram, priests.

9 And they taught in all the land of Judah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people.

10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

11 Also some of the cities of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, silver, and poll tax; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats, yearly.

12 And Jehoshaphat grew exceedingly rich; and he built in Judah castles and store cities.

13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah; and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.

14 And this is the number of them according to the house of their fathers. Of Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adino the chief, and with him mighty men of valour, three hundred thousand.

15 And next to him was Johanan the commander, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand valiant men.

16 And next to him was Shemai the son of Zerah, with whom the LORD was pleased, and with him two hundred thousand valiant men.

17 And of Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valour, and with him, armed with bow and shield, two hundred thousand.

18 And next to him was Jehozabad, a mighty man, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for the war.

19 These were all who served King Jehoshaphat, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all the land of Judah.
