Dual Panel1Jehoshaphat<3092> his son<1121> then became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>, and made<2388> his position over<5921> Israel<3478> firm<2388>.
2He placed<5414> troops<2428> in all<3605> the fortified<1219> cities<5892> of Judah<3063>, and set<5414> garrisons<5333> in the land<776> of Judah<3063> and in the cities<5892> of Ephraim<669> which<834> Asa<609> his father<1> had captured<3920>.
3The LORD<3068> was with Jehoshaphat<3092> because<3588> he followed<1980> the example<1870> of his father<1> David's<1732> earlier<7223> days and did not seek<1875> the Baals<1168>,
4but sought<1875> the God<430> of his father<1>, followed<1980> His commandments<4687>, and did not act<4639> as Israel<3478> did<4639>.
5So the LORD<3068> established<3559> the kingdom<4467> in his control<3027>, and all<3605> Judah<3063> brought<5414> tribute<4503> to Jehoshaphat<3092>, and he had<1961> great<7230> riches<6239> and honor<3519>.
6He took<1361> great<1361> pride<1361><3820> in the ways<1870> of the LORD<3068> and again<5750> removed<5493> the high<1116> places<1116> and the Asherim<842> from Judah<3063>.
7Then in the third<7969> year<8141> of his reign<4427> he sent<7971> his officials<8269>, Ben-hail<1134>, Obadiah<5662>, Zechariah<2148>, Nethanel<5417> and Micaiah<4322>, to teach<3925> in the cities<5892> of Judah<3063>;
8and with them the Levites<3881>, Shemaiah<8098>, Nethaniah<5418>, Zebadiah<2069>, Asahel<6214>, Shemiramoth<8070>, Jehonathan<3083>, Adonijah<138>, Tobijah<2900> and Tobadonijah<2899>, the Levites<3881>; and with them Elishama<476> and Jehoram<3088>, the priests<3548>.
9They taught<3925> in Judah<3063>, having the book<5612> of the law<8451> of the LORD<3068> with them; and they went<5437> throughout<5437> all<3605> the cities<5892> of Judah<3063> and taught<3925> among the people<5971>.
10Now the dread<6343> of the LORD<3068> was on all<3605> the kingdoms<4467> of the lands<776> which<834> were around<5439> Judah<3063>, so that they did not make<3898> war<3898> against<5973> Jehoshaphat<3092>.
11Some<4480> of the Philistines<6430> brought<935> gifts<4503> and silver<3701> as tribute<4853> to Jehoshaphat<3092>; the Arabians<6163> also<1571> brought<935> him flocks<6629>, 7,700 <7651><505><7651><3967> rams<352> and 7,700 <7651><505><7651><3967> male<8495> goats<8495>.
12So Jehoshaphat<3092> grew<1980> greater<4605> and greater<1432>, and he built<1129> fortresses<1003> and store<4543> cities<5892> in Judah<3063>.
13He had<1961> large<7227> supplies<4399> in the cities<5892> of Judah<3063>, and warriors<4421>, valiant<2428><1368> men<1368>, in Jerusalem<3389>.
14This<428> was their muster<6486> according to their fathers'<1> households<1004>: of Judah<3063>, commanders<8269> of thousands<505>, Adnah<5734> was the commander<8269>, and with him 300,000 <7969><3967><505> valiant<2428> warriors<1368>;
15and next<5921><3027> to him was Johanan<3076> the commander<8269>, and with him 280,000 <3967><8084><505>;
16and next<5921><3027> to him Amasiah<6007> the son<1121> of Zichri<2147>, who volunteered<5068> for the LORD<3068>, and with him 200,000 <3967><505> valiant<2428> warriors<1368>;
17and of Benjamin<1144>, Eliada<450> a valiant<2428> warrior<1368>, and with him 200,000 <3967><505> armed<5401> with bow<7198> and shield<4043>;
18and next<5921><3027> to him Jehozabad<3075>, and with him 180,000 <3967><8084><505> equipped<2502> for war<6635>.
19These<428> are they who served<8334> the king<4428>, apart<905> from those whom<834> the king<4428> put<5414> in the fortified<4013> cities<5892> through all<3605> Judah<3063>.
