2 Chronicles 17:1-13

And Jehoshaphat
<03092>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead, and strengthened
<02388> (8691)

himself against Israel
<03478>_.

And he placed
<05414> (8799)

forces
<02428>

in all the fenced
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and set
<05414> (8799)

garrisons
<05333>

in the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and in the cities
<05892>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

which Asa
<0609>

his father
<01>

had taken
<03920> (8804)_.

And the LORD
<03068>

was with Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

because he walked
<01980> (8804)

in the first
<07223>

ways
<01870>

of his father
<01>

David
<01732>_,

and sought
<01875> (8804)

not unto Baalim
<01168>_;

{of...: or, of his father, and of David}

But sought
<01875> (8804)

to the [LORD] God
<0430>

of his father
<01>_,

and walked
<01980> (8804)

in his commandments
<04687>_,

and not after the doings
<04639>

of Israel
<03478>_.

Therefore the LORD
<03068>

stablished
<03559> (8686)

the kingdom
<04467>

in his hand
<03027>_;

and all Judah
<03063>

brought
<05414> (8799)

to Jehoshaphat
<03092>

presents
<04503>_;

and he had riches
<06239>

and honour
<03519>

<07230>_.

And his heart
<03820>

was lifted up
<01361> (8799)

in the ways
<01870>

moreover he took away
<05493> (8689)

the high places
<01116>

and groves
<0842>

out of Judah
<03063>_.

{was...: that is, was encouraged}

Also in the third
<07969>

year
<08141>

<04427> (8800)

[even] to Benhail
<01134>_,

and to Obadiah
<05662>_,

and to Zechariah
<02148>_,

and to Nethaneel
<05417>_,

and to Michaiah
<04322>_,

to teach
<03925> (8763)

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

And with them [he sent] Levites
<03881>_,

and Jehonathan
<03083>_,

and Adonijah
<0138>_,

and Tobijah
<02900>_,

and Tobadonijah
<02899>_,

Levites
<03881>_;

and with them Elishama
<0476>

and Jehoram
<03088>_,

priests
<03548>_.

And they taught
<03925> (8762)

in Judah
<03063>_,

and [had] the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>

with them, and went about
<05437> (8799)

throughout all the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and taught
<03925> (8762)

the people
<05971>_.

And the fear
<06343>

of the LORD
<03068>

fell upon all the kingdoms
<04467>

of the lands
<0776>

that [were] round about
<05439>

Judah
<03063>_,

so that they made no war
<03898> (8738)

against Jehoshaphat
<03092>_.

{fell: Heb. was}

Also [some] of the Philistines
<06430>

brought

And Jehoshaphat
<03092>

waxed
<01980> (8802)

<01432>

exceedingly
<04605>_;

and he built

in Judah
<03063>

castles
<01003>_,

and cities
<05892>

of store
<04543>_.

{castles: or, palaces}

And he had much
<07227>

<04399>

in the cities
<05892>

<03063>_:
