2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Regnavit autem Iosaphat filius eius pro eo, et invaluit contra Israel.
2 And he placed 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 taken.
Constituitque militum numeros in cunctis urbibus Iuda, quæ erant vallatæ muris. Præsidiaque disposuit in terra Iuda, et in civitatibus Ephraim, quas ceperat Asa pater eius.
3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim;
Et fuit Dominus cum Iosaphat, quia ambulavit in viis David patris sui primis: et non speravit in Baalim,
4 but sought to the God of his father, and walked in His commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
sed in Deo patris sui, et perrexit in præceptis illius et non iuxta peccata Israel.
5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
Confirmavitque Dominus regnum in manu eius, et dedit omnis Iuda munera Iosaphat: factæque sunt ei infinitæ divitiæ, et multa gloria.
6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD; and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
Cumque sumpsisset cor eius audaciam propter vias Domini, etiam excelsa et lucos de Iuda abstulit.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and 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 Michæam ut docerent in civitatibus Iuda:
8 and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
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 And they taught in Judah, having the book of the Law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
docebantque populum in Iuda, habentes librum legis Domini, et circuibant cunctas urbes Iuda, atque erudiebant populum.
10 And a terror from the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Itaque factus est pavor Domini super omnia regna terrarum, quæ erant per gyrum Iuda, nec audebant bellare contra Iosaphat.
11 And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.
Sed et Philisthæi Iosaphat munera deferebant, et vectigal argenti, Arabes quoque adducebant pecora, arietum septem millia septingenta, et hircorum totidem.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
Crevit ergo Iosaphat, et magnificatus est usque in sublime: atque ædificavit in Iuda domos ad instar turrium, urbesque muratas.
13 And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.
Et multa opera paravit in urbibus Iuda: viri quoque bellatores, et robusti erant in Ierusalem,
14 And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand;
quorum iste numerus per domos atque familias singulorum: In Iuda principes exercitus, Ednas dux, et cum eo robustissimi viri trecenta millia.
15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand;
Post hunc Iohanan princeps, et cum eo ducenta octoginta millia.
16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour;
Post istum quoque Amasias filius Zechri, consecratus Domino, et cum eo ducenta millia virorum fortium.
17 and of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
Hunc sequebatur robustus ad prælia Eliada, et cum eo tenentium arcum et clypeum ducenta millia.
18 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war.
Post istum etiam Iozabad, et cum eo centum octoginta millia expeditorum militum.
19 These were they that waited on the king beside those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Hi omnes erant ad manum regis, exceptis aliis, quos posuerat in urbibus muratis, in universo Iuda.
