2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
Y Josafat su hijo se hizo rey en su lugar, y se hizo fuerte contra Israel.
2 And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and placed garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Assa his father had captured.
Puso guarniciones en todas las ciudades amuralladas de Judá, y los jefes responsables en la tierra de Judá y en las ciudades de Efraín, que Asa su padre había tomado.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat; because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not after the Be'alim;
Y el Señor estaba con Josafat, porque él siguió los primeros caminos de su padre, sin volverse a los baales,
4 On the contrary, after the God of his father did he seek, and in his commandments did he walk, but not after the doings of Israel.
Pero volviéndose al Dios de su padre y guardando sus leyes, y no haciendo lo que hizo Israel.
5 Therefore did the Lord establish the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
Y el Señor fortaleció su reino; y todo Judá dio ofrendas a Josafat, y él tuvo gran riqueza y honra.
6 And his heart raised itself up in the ways of the Lord, and he removed moreover the high-places and groves out of Judah.
Su corazón se alzó en los caminos del Señor; y fue tan lejos como para quitar los lugares altos y los pilares de madera que representaban a Asera de Judá.
7 And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-chayil, and 'Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Michayahu, to teach in the cities of Judah.
En el tercer año de su gobierno envió a Ben-Hail, Abdías, Zacarías, Natanael y Micaías, sus capitanes, como maestros en los pueblos de Judá;
8 And with them were the Levites, Shema'yahu, and Nethanyahu, and Zebadyahu, and 'Assahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adoniyahu, and Tobiyahu, and Tobadoniyah, the Levites; and with them Elishama' and Jehoram, the priests.
Y con ellos, Semaías y Netanias, Zebadias, Asael, Semiramot, Jonatan, Adonias, Tobias y Tobadonias, los levitas; y Elisama y Joram los sacerdotes.
9 And they taught in Judah, and with them was the book of the law of the Lord, and they moved about through all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
Y dieron enseñanzas en Judá y tenían con ellos el libro de la ley del Señor; Pasaron por todos los pueblos de Judá enseñando a la gente.
10 And the dread of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war with Jehoshaphat.
Y el temor del Señor estaba en todos los reinos de las tierras alrededor de Judá, para que no hicieran guerras contra Josafat.
11 Also from the Philistines did people bring unto Jehoshaphat presents and silver, as tribute: also the Arabians brought him small cattle, rams seven thousand and seven hundred, and he-goats seven thousand and seven hundred.
Y algunos de los filisteos tomaron ofrendas a Josafat, y le hicieron pagos de plata; y los árabes le dieron rebaños, siete mil setecientos carneros, y siete mil setecientos chivos.
12 And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
Josafat se hizo cada vez más grande, e hizo fuertes torres y lugares de almacén en Judá.
13 And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, in Jerusalem.
Tenía muchas propiedades en las ciudades de Judá; tenía fuerzas de hombres armados, grandes y fuertes, en Jerusalén.
14 And these are their numbers according to their family divisions: Of Judah, of the captains of the thousands was 'Adnah the chief, and with him were mighty men of valor, three hundred thousand.
Este es el número de ellos, enumerados por sus familias, los capitanes de miles de Judá: Adnas, él capitán, y con él trescientos mil hombres de guerra;
15 And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
Segundo a él, Johanán, el capitán, y con él doscientos ochenta mil;
16 And next to him was 'Amassyah the son of Zichri, who voluntarily offered himself unto the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
Después de él, Amasías, hijo de Zicri, se entregó libremente al Señor, y con él doscientos mil hombres de guerra;
17 And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
Y los capitanes de Benjamín: Eliada, un gran hombre de guerra, y con él doscientos mil armados con arcos y escudos;
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
Y después de él, Jozabad, y con él ciento ochenta mil entrenados para la guerra.
19 These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
Estos eran los hombres al servicio del rey, además de los colocados por el rey en las ciudades amuralladas de todo Judá.
