II CHRONICLES

II Chronicles 17

1And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead,—and strengthened himself against Israel;

1 Kings 15:24, 1 Kings 15:24, 2 Chronicles 32:5, Matthew 1:8, Ephesians 6:10

2and put forces in all the fortified cities of Judah,—and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had captured.

2 Chronicles 15:8, 2 Chronicles 15:8, 2 Chronicles 11:5, 2 Chronicles 11:11, 2 Chronicles 11:12

3And it came to pass, that, Yahweh, was with Jehoshaphat,—because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not unto the Baalim;

Isaiah 41:10, 2 Kings 22:2, Isaiah 41:10, 2 Kings 22:2, 2 Timothy 4:22

4for, unto the God of his father, he sought, and, in his commandments, he walked,—and not according to the doing of Israel.

1 Kings 12:28, 1 Kings 12:28, 1 Thessalonians 2:12, 1 Thessalonians 2:12, Hosea 4:15

5Therefore did Yahweh establish the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gave a present unto Jehoshaphat,—and he came to have riches and honour, in abundance.

2 Chronicles 18:1, 2 Chronicles 18:1, Matthew 6:33, Matthew 6:33, 1 Peter 5:10

6And his heart was encouraged, in the ways of Yahweh,—and he, yet further, took away the high places and the Sacred Stems, out of Judah.

Hosea 14:9, Psalms 119:1, 2 Chronicles 20:33, 2 Chronicles 15:17, Hosea 14:9

7And, in the third year of his reign, he sent to his rulers, even to Ben-hail and to Obadiah and to Zechariah, and to Nethanel, and to Micaiah,—that they were to teach throughout the cities of Judah;

2 Chronicles 35:3, 2 Chronicles 35:3, 2 Chronicles 15:3, 2 Chronicles 15:3, Ecclesiastes 12:9

8and, with them, Levites, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan, and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, Levites,—and, with them, Elishama and Jehoram, priests;

Ezra 7:1, Ezra 7:6, 2 Chronicles 19:8, Malachi 2:7, Ezra 7:1

9and they taught throughout Judah, and, with them, was the book of the law of Yahweh,—so they went round throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.

John 5:46, John 5:46, Romans 3:2, Romans 3:2, John 5:39

10And it came to pass, that, the dread of Yahweh, was upon all the kingdoms of the countries, that were round about Judah,—and they warred not against Jehoshaphat.

2 Chronicles 14:14, 2 Chronicles 14:14, Exodus 15:14, Exodus 15:16, Exodus 34:24

11And, from among the Philistines, were they bringing in unto Jehoshaphat a present, and silver as tribute,—even the Arabians, were bringing in unto him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.

2 Chronicles 26:8, 2 Chronicles 26:8, 2 Chronicles 9:14, 2 Chronicles 9:14, 2 Samuel 8:2

12And so it came to pass that, Jehoshaphat, went on waxing surpassingly great,—and he built, throughout Judah, fortresses and cities for store;

2 Chronicles 8:2, 2 Chronicles 8:6, 2 Chronicles 27:4, 2 Chronicles 18:1, 2 Chronicles 14:6

13and, much business, had he, throughout the cities of Judah,—but, the men of war, the heroes of valour, were in Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 27:25, 1 Chronicles 27:31, 2 Chronicles 26:10, 2 Chronicles 26:15, 1 Chronicles 27:25

14And, these, are the numbers of them, by their ancestral house,—To Judah, pertained rulers of thousands, Adnah the chief, and, with him, mighty men of valour, three hundred thousand;

Numbers 1:18, Numbers 1:2, 2 Chronicles 26:13, 2 Chronicles 13:3, Genesis 12:2

15and, under his direction, was Jehohanan the chief,—and, with him, two hundred and eighty thousand;

16and, under his direction, Amasiah son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto Yahweh,—and, with him, two hundred thousand heroes of valour.

Judges 5:9, Judges 5:9, 1 Chronicles 29:9, Judges 5:2, 1 Chronicles 29:9

17And, out of Benjamin, a hero of valour, Eliada,—and, with him, armed with bow and buckler, two hundred thousand;

2 Chronicles 14:8, 2 Samuel 1:21, 2 Samuel 1:22, 2 Chronicles 14:8, 2 Samuel 1:21

18and, under his direction, Jehozabad,—and, with him, a hundred and eighty thousand, equipped for war.

19These, were they who were waiting upon the king,—besides those whom the king placed in the fortified cities, throughout all Judah.

2 Chronicles 17:2, 2 Chronicles 17:2, 2 Chronicles 11:12, 2 Chronicles 17:12, 2 Chronicles 11:23
