1	And Jehoshaphat his son reigned# in his stead, and strengthened# himself against Israel.
			2	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# .
			3	And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked# in the first ways of his father David, and sought# not unto Baalim; [of...: or, of his father, and of David]
			4	But sought# to the LORD God of his father, and walked# in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
			5	Therefore the LORD stablished# the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought# to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance. [brought: Heb. gave]
			6	And his heart was lifted up# in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away# the high places and groves out of Judah. [was...: that is, was encouraged]
			7	Also in the third year of his reign# he sent# to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach# in the cities of Judah.
			8	And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.
			9	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.
			10	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. [fell: Heb. was]
			11	Also some of the Philistines brought# Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought# him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.
			12	And Jehoshaphat waxed# great exceedingly; and he built# in Judah castles, and cities of store. [castles: or, palaces]
			13	And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.
			14	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.
			15	And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand. [next...: Heb. at his hand]
			16	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.
			17	And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men# with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
			18	And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared# for the war.
			19	These waited# on the king, beside those whom the king put# in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
