Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead ,
and strengthened himself against Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah ,
and set garrisons in the land of Judah ,
and in the cities of Ephraim ,
which Asa his father had taken .
*
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat ,
because he walked in the first ways of his father David ,
and sought not unto Baalim Ba #
al #;
*
But sought to the LORD God of his father ,
and walked in his commandments ,
and not after the doings of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand ;
and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents ;
and he had riches and honour in abundance .
*
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD :
moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah .
*
Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes ,
even to Benhail Ben-Chayil #,
and to Obadiah ,
and to Zechariah ,
and to Nethaneel N @
thane #
l #,
and to Michaiah ,
to teach in the cities of Judah .
*
And with them he sent Levites ,
even Shemaiah Sh @
ma #
yah #,
and Nethaniah ,
and Zebadiah ,
and Asahel #
Asah #
el #,
and Shemiramoth ,
and Jehonathan ,
and Adonijah ,
and Tobijah ,
and Tobadonijah Towb ,
Levites ;
and with them Elishama and Jehoram ,
priests .
*
And they taught in Judah ,
and had the book of the law of the LORD with them ,
and went about throughout all the cities of Judah ,
and taught the people .
*
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 .
*
Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents ,
and tribute silver ;
and the Arabians brought him flocks tso #
n #,
seven thousand and seven hundred rams ,
and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats .
*
And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly ma #
al #;
and he built in Judah castles ,
and cities of store .
*
And he had much business in the cities of Judah :
and the men of war ,
mighty men of valour ,
were in Jerusalem .
*
And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers :
Of Judah ,
the captains of thousands ;
Adnah the chief ,
and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand .
*
And next to him was Jehohanan the captain ,
and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand .
*
And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri ,
who willingly offered himself unto the LORD ;
and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour .
*
And of Benjamin ;
Eliada a mighty man of valour ,
and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand .
*
And next him was Jehozabad ,
and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war .
*
These waited on the king ,
beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah .
