Chronicles II 17
1 And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, Josaphat strengthened himself against Israel.
regnavit autem Iosaphat filius eius pro eo et invaluit contra Israhel
2 And he put garrisons in all the strong cities of Juda, and appointed captains in all the cities of Juda, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
constituitque militum numeros in cunctis urbibus Iudae quae erant vallatae muris praesidiaque disposuit in terra Iuda et in civitatibus Ephraim quas ceperat Asa pater eius
3 And the Lord was with Josaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father, and did not seek to idols;
et fuit Dominus cum Iosaphat quia ambulavit in viis David patris sui primis et non speravit in Baalim
4 but he sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in the commandments of his father, and not according to the works of Israel.
sed in Deo patris sui et perrexit in praeceptis illius et non iuxta peccata Israhel
5 And the Lord prospered the kingdom in his hand; and all Juda gave gifts to Josaphat; and he had great wealth and glory.
confirmavitque Dominus regnum in manu eius et dedit omnis Iuda munera Iosaphat factaeque sunt ei infinitae divitiae et multa gloria
6 And his heart was exalted in the way of the Lord; and he removed the high places and the groves from the land of Juda.
cumque sumpsisset cor eius audaciam propter vias Domini etiam excelsa et lucos de Iuda abstulit
7 And in the third year of his reign, he sent his chief men, and his mighty men, Abdias and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Michaias, to teach in the cities of Juda.
tertio autem anno regni sui misit de principibus suis Benail et Obdiam et Zacchariam et Nathanahel et Micheam ut docerent in civitatibus Iuda
8 And with them [were] the Levites, Samaias, and Nathanias, and Zabdias, and Asiel, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Tobadonias, Levites, and with them Elisama and Joram, the priests.
et cum eis Levitas Semeiam et Nathaniam et Zabadiam Asahel quoque et Semiramoth et Ionathan Adoniam et Tobiam et Tobadoniam Levitas et cum eis Elisama et Ioram sacerdotes
9 And they taught in Juda, and [there was] with them the book of the law of the Lord, and they passed through the cities of Juda, and taught the people.
docebantque in Iuda habentes librum legis Domini et circuibant cunctas urbes Iuda atque erudiebant populum
10 And a terror of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the land round about Juda, and they made no war against Josaphat.
itaque factus est pavor Domini super omnia regna terrarum quae erant per gyrum Iuda nec audebant bellare contra Iosaphat
11 And [some] of the Philistines brought to Josaphat gifts, and silver, and presents; and the Arabians brought him seven thousand and seven hundred rams.
sed et Philisthei Iosaphat munera deferebant et vectigal argenti Arabes quoque adducebant pecora arietum septem milia septingentos et hircos totidem
12 And Josaphat increased in greatness exceedingly, and built in Judea places of abode, and strong cities.
crevit ergo Iosaphat et magnificatus est usque in sublime atque aedificavit in Iuda domos ad instar turrium urbesque muratas
13 And he had many works in Judea: and the mighty men of war, [the men] of strength, [were] in Jerusalem.
et multa opera patravit in urbibus Iuda viri quoque bellatores et robusti erant in Hierusalem
14 And this [is] their number according to the houses of their fathers; even the captains of thousands in Juda [were], Ednas the chief, and with him mighty men of strength three hundred thousand.
quorum iste numerus per domos atque familias singulorum in Iuda principes exercitus Ednas dux et cum eo robustissimorum trecenta milia
15 And after him, Joanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
post hunc Iohanan princeps et cum eo ducenta octoginta milia
16 And after him Amasias the [son] of Zari, who was zealous for the Lord; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of strength.
post istum quoque Amasias filius Zechri consecratus Domino et cum eo ducenta milia virorum fortium
17 And out of Benjamin [there was] a mighty man of strength, even Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand archers and targeteers.
hunc sequebatur robustus ad proelia Heliada et cum eo tenentium arcum et clypeum ducenta milia
18 And after him Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand mighty men of war.
post istum etiam Iozabath et cum eo centum octoginta milia expeditorum militum
19 These were the king's servants besides those whom the king put in the strong cities in all Judea.
hii omnes erant ad manum regis exceptis aliis quos posuerat in urbibus muratis et in universo Iuda
