17:1 And
Jehoshaphat
his
son
reigneth
in
his
stead,
and
he
strengtheneth
himself
against
Israel,
17:2 and
putteth
a
force
in
all
the
fenced
cities
of
Judah,
and
putteth
garrisons
in
the
land
of
Judah,
and
in
the
cities
of
Ephraim
that
Asa
his
father
had
captured.
17:3 And
Jehovah
is
with
Jehoshaphat,
for
he
hath
walked
in
the
first
ways
of
David
his
father,
and
hath
not
sought
to
Baalim,
17:4 for
to
the
God
of
his
father
he
hath
sought,
and
in
His
commands
he
hath
walked,
and
not
according
to
the
work
of
Israel.
17:5 And
Jehovah
doth
establish
the
kingdom
in
his
hand,
and
all
Judah
give
a
present
to
Jehoshaphat,
and
he
hath
riches
and
honour
in
abundance,
17:6 and
his
heart
is
high
in
the
ways
of
Jehovah,
and
again
he
hath
turned
aside
the
high
places
and
the
shrines
out
of
Judah.
17:7 And
in
the
third
year
of
his
reign
he
hath
sent
for
his
heads,
for
Ben-Hail,
and
for
Obadiah,
and
for
Zechariah,
and
for
Nethaneel,
and
for
Michaiah,
to
teach
in
cities
of
Judah,
17:8 and
with
them
the
Levites,
Shemaiah,
and
Nethaniah,
and
Zebadiah,
and
Asahel,
and
Shemiramoth,
and
Jehonathan,
and
Adonijah,
and
Tobijath,
and
Tob-Adonijah,
the
Levites;
and
with
them
Elishama
and
Jehoram,
the
priests.
17:9 And
they
teach
in
Judah,
and
with
them
[is]
the
Book
of
the
Law
of
Jehovah,
and
they
go
round
about
into
all
cities
of
Judah,
and
teach
among
the
people.
17:10 And
here
is
a
fear
of
Jehovah
on
all
kingdoms
of
the
lands
that
[are]
round
about
Judah,
and
they
have
not
fought
with
Jehoshaphat;
17:11 and
of
the
Philistines
they
are
bringing
in
to
Jehoshaphat
a
present,
and
tribute
silver;
also,
the
Arabians
are
bringing
to
him
a
flock,
rams
seven
thousand
an
seven
hundred,
and
he-goats
seven
thousand
and
seven
hundred.
17:12 And
Jehoshaphat
is
going
on
and
becoming
very
great,
and
he
buildeth
in
Judah
palaces
and
cities
of
store,
17:13 and
he
hath
much
work
in
cities
of
Judah;
and
men
of
war,
mighty
of
valour,
[are]
in
Jerusalem.
17:14 And
these
[are]
their
numbers,
for
the
house
of
their
fathers:
Of
Judah,
heads
of
thousands,
Adnah
the
head,
and
with
him
mighty
ones
of
valour,
three
hundred
chiefs.
17:15 And
at
his
hand
[is]
Jehohanan
the
head,
and
with
him
two
hundred
and
eighty
chiefs.
17:16 And
at
his
hand
[is]
Amasiah
son
of
Zichri,
who
is
willingly
offering
himself
to
Jehovah,
and
with
him
two
hundred
chiefs,
mighty
of
valour.
17:17 And
of
Benjamin:
mighty
of
valour,
Eliada,
and
with
him,
armed
with
bow
and
shield,
two
hundred
chiefs.
17:18 And
at
his
hand
[is]
Jehozabad,
and
with
him
a
hundred
and
eighty
chiefs,
armed
ones
of
the
host.
17:19 These
[are]
those
serving
the
king,
apart
from
those
whom
the
king
put
in
the
cities
of
fortress,
in
all
Judah.
