2 Chronicles Chapter 17    

¹Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.
  ²He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that Asa his father had captured.
 

³Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the early ways of his father David and did not seek the Baals,
  ⁴but sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments and not according to the practices of Israel.
  ⁵Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought Jehoshaphat tribute, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
  ⁶His heart exalted in the ways of Yahweh, and furthermore, he took away the pagan shrines and the Asherah poles out of Judah.
 

⁷Also in the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
  ⁸and with them were the Levites, Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah; and with the Levites were Elishama and Jehoram the priests.
  ⁹They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Yahweh with them, and they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
 

¹⁰The fear of Yahweh came on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
  ¹¹Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver as tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks, 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats.
 

¹²Jehoshaphat grew greater and greater, and he built fortresses and storage cities in Judah.
  ¹³He carried out great works in the cities of Judah. And he had men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem,
  ¹⁴and this was their enrollment according to their fathers’ houses: from Judah, the commanders of thousands were: Adnah the commander, and with him were 300,000 mighty men of valor;
  ¹⁵and next to him was Jehohanan the commander, and with him were 280,000;
  ¹⁶and next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Yahweh, and with him were 200,000 mighty men of valor.
  ¹⁷From Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him were 200,000 armed with bow and shield;
  ¹⁸and next to him was Jehozabad, and with him were 180,000 men prepared for war.
 

¹⁹These were those who served the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
