* And his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place . And he made himself strong against Israel . * And he put an army in all the fortified cities in Judah , and placed command posts in the land of Judah , and in the cities of Ephraim which his father Asa had captured . * And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat , for he walked in the first ways of his father David ; and he did not seek to the Baals . * For he sought to the God of his father , and he walked in His commands , and not according to the deeds of Israel . * And Jehovah confirmed the kingdom in his hand . And all of Judah gave a present to Jehoshaphat . And he had riches and honor in abundance . * And his heart was exalted in the ways of Jehovah . And he again removed the high places and the Asherahs out of Judah . * And in the third year of his reign , he sent for his leaders , for Benhail , and for Obadiah , and for Zechariah , and for Nethaneel , and for Michaiah , in order to teach in the cities of Judah . * And with them were the Levites : Shemaiah , and Nethaniah , and Zebadiah , and Asahel , and Shemiramoth , and Jehonathan , and Adonijah , and Tobijah , and Tob-adonijah , the Levites . And with them were Elishama and Jehoram , the priests . * And they taught in Judah ; and with them was the book of the law of Jehovah . And they went around to all the cities of Judah , and taught among the people . * And the fear of Jehovah was on all the kingdoms of the lands around Judah ; and they did not fight with Jehoshaphat . * And from the Philistines , they were bringing in a present to Jehoshaphat , and silver as tribute . Also , the Arabians were bringing flocks to him , seven thousand , seven hundred rams ; and seven thousand , seven hundred he goats . * And Jehoshaphat went on to be greater , exceedingly . And he built fortresses and store cities in Judah . * And there was much work for him in the cities of Judah . And the men of war , mighty men of valor , resided in Jerusalem . * And these were their numbers , for the house of their fathers : Of Judah , the commanders of thousands , Adnah the chief , and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor . * And on his hand , Jehohanan the chief , and two hundred and eighty thousand with him . * And on his hand , Amasiah the son of Zichri , who volunteered himself to Jehovah ; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor . * And of Benjamin , Eliada a mighty man , and two hundred thousand armed men with bow and shield with him . * And on his hand , Jehozabad ; and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war . * These waited on the king , besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities in all Judah .
