2 Chronicles 17
1 Asa’s son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.
Regnavit autem Iosaphat filius eius pro eo, et invaluit contra Israel.
2 He stationed troops in every fortified city of Judah and put garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
Constituitque militum numeros in cunctis urbibus Iuda, quae erant vallatae muris. Praesidiaque disposuit in terra Iuda, et in civitatibus Ephraim, quas ceperat Asa pater eius.
3 Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek out the Baals,
Et fuit Dominus cum Iosaphat, quia ambulavit in viis David patris sui primis: et non speravit in Baalim,
4 but he sought the God of his father and walked by His commandments rather than the practices of Israel.
sed in Deo patris sui, et perrexit in praeceptis illius et non iuxta peccata Israel.
5 So the LORD established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought him tribute, so that he had an abundance of riches and honor.
Confirmavitque Dominus regnum in manu eius, et dedit omnis Iuda munera Iosaphat: factaeque sunt ei infinitae divitiae, et multa gloria.
6 And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; furthermore, he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
Cumque sumpsisset cor eius audaciam propter vias Domini, etiam excelsa et lucos de Iuda abstulit.
7 In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent his officials Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah to teach in the cities of Judah,
Tertio autem anno regni sui misit de principibus suis Benhail, et Obdiam, et Zachariam, et Nathanael, et Michaeam ut docerent in civitatibus Iuda:
8 accompanied by certain Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah—along with the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
et cum eis Levitas Semeiam, et Nathaniam, et Zabadiam, Asael quoque, et Semiramoth, et Ionathan, Adoniamque et Thobiam, et Thobadoniam Levitas, et cum eis Elisama, et Ioran Sacerdotes,
9 They taught throughout Judah, taking with them the Book of the Law of the LORD. They went throughout the towns of Judah and taught the people.
docebantque populum in Iuda, habentes librum legis Domini, et circuibant cunctas urbes Iuda, atque erudiebant populum.
10 And the dread of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that surrounded Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
Itaque factus est pavor Domini super omnia regna terrarum, quae erant per gyrum Iuda, nec audebant bellare contra Iosaphat.
11 Some Philistines also brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat, and the Arabs brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats from their flocks.
Sed et Philisthaei Iosaphat munera deferebant, et vectigal argenti, Arabes quoque adducebant pecora, arietum septem millia septingenta, et hircorum totidem.
12 Jehoshaphat grew stronger and stronger, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah
Crevit ergo Iosaphat, et magnificatus est usque in sublime: atque aedificavit in Iuda domos ad instar turrium, urbesque muratas.
13 and kept vast supplies in the cities of Judah. He also had warriors in Jerusalem who were mighty men of valor.
Et multa opera paravit in urbibus Iuda: viri quoque bellatores, et robusti erant in Ierusalem,
14 These are their numbers according to the houses of their fathers: From Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah the commander, and with him 300,000 mighty men of valor;
quorum iste numerus per domos atque familias singulorum: In Iuda princeps exercitus, Ednas dux, et cum eo robustissimi viri trecenta millia.
15 next to him, Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000;
Post hunc Iohanan princeps, et cum eo ducenta octoginta millia.
16 and next to him, Amasiah son of Zichri, the volunteer for the LORD, and with him 200,000 mighty men of valor.
Post istum quoque Amasias filius Zechri, consecratus Domino, et cum eo ducenta millia virorum fortium.
17 From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him 200,000 armed with bows and shields;
Hunc sequebatur robustus ad praelia Eliada, et cum eo tenentium arcum et clypeum ducenta millia.
18 and next to him, Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 armed for battle.
Post istum etiam Iozabad, et cum eo centum octoginta millia expeditorum militum.
19 These were the men who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
Hi omnes erant ad manum regis, exceptis aliis, quos posuerat in urbibus muratis, in universo Iuda.
