- Kapitel 17 -

(1 Kings 15:23–24)
1
And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel.
2
And he placed numbers of soldiers in all the fortified cities of Juda. And he put garrisons in the land of Juda, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
3
And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
4
But in the God of his father, and walk in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
5
And the Lord established the kingdom in his hand, and all Juda brought presents to Josaphat: and he acquired immense riches, and much glory.
6
And when his heart had taken courage for the ways of the Lord, he took away also the high places and the groves out of Juda.
7
And in the third year of his reign, he sent of his princes Benhail, and Abdias, and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Micheas, to teach in the cities of Juda:
8
And with them the Levites, Semeias, and Nathanias, and Zabadias, and Asael, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Thobadonias Levites, and with them Elisama, and Joram priests.
9
And they taught the people in Juda, having with them the book of the law of the Lord: and they went about all the cities of Juda, and instructed the people.
10
And the fear of the Lord came upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Juda, and they durst not make war against Josaphat.
11
The Philistines also brought presents to Josaphat, and tribute in silver, and the Arabians brought him cattle, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and as many he goats.
12
And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
13
And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem.
14
Of whom this is the number of the houses and families of every one: in Juda captains of the army, Ednas the chief, and with him three hundred thousand most valiant men.
15
After him Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
16
And after him was Amasias the son of Zechri, consecrated to the Lord, and with him were two hundred thousand valiant men.
17
After him was Eliada valiant in battle, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield.
18
After him also was Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war.
19
All these were at the hand of the king, beside others, whom he had put in the walled cities, in all Juda.
(1 Kings 15:23–24)
1
Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2
He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
3
The LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,
4
but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel.
5
Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6
His heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD. Furthermore, he took away the high places and the Asherah poles out of Judah.
7
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
8
and with them Levites, even Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9
They taught in Judah, having the book of the LORD’s law with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
10
The fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11
Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks: seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.
12
Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
13
He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
14
This was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: From Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
15
and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand;
16
and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17
From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18
and next to him Jehozabad, and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready and prepared for war.
19
These were those who waited on the king, in addition to those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
