Вторая книга Паралипоменон 17
1 И воцарися Иосафат сын его вместо его, и укрепися Иосафат над Израилем:
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 расположи же силу во всех градех Иудиных крепких и постави воеводы во градех Иудиных и во градех Ефремовых ихже побра прежде Аса отец его.
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.
3 И бысть Господь со Иосафатом, яко хождаше в путех Давида отца своего первых и не взыска идолов,
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim;
4 но Господа Бога отца своего взыска и пойде в повелениих отца своего, а не по делом Израилевым:
But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 и укрепи Господь царство в руку его, и даша вся Иудеа дары Иосафату, и бысть ему богатство и слава многа.
Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
6 И вознесеся сердце его в пути Господни, и ктому изя высокая и дубравы от земли Иудины.
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
7 В третие же лето царства своего посла началники своя и сынов сильных Авдию и Захарию, и Нафанаила и Михеа, да учат во градех Иудиных:
Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8 и с ними левити Самеа и Нафаниа, и Завдиа и Асиил, и Семирамоф и Ионафан, и Адониа и Товиа и Товадониа левити, и с ними Елисама и Иорам жерцы:
And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.
9 учаху же во Иудеи, имеюще книгу закона Господня, и прохождаху грады Иудины и учаху люди.
And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
10 И бысть страх Господень на всех царствах земных окрест Иуды, и не воеваша противу Иосафата.
And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11 И от иноплеменник Иосафату дары приношаху сребро и дани: Арави же привождаху ему овнов овчих седмь тысящ и седмь сот, и козлов седмь тысящ седмь сот.
Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
12 И бе Иосафат предуспевая велик в высоту и созда во Иудеи домы и грады крепки.
And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah fortresses, and cities of store.
13 И многа дела быша ему во Иудеи: и мужие ратницы крепцы сильнии во Иерусалиме.
And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.
14 И сие число их по домом отечеств их: и во Иуде тысященачалницы Еднас вождь и с ним сынове сильнии силы триста тысящ:
And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.
15 и по нем Иоанан началник и с ним двести осмьдесят тысящ:
And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
16 по немже Амасиа, сын Захариин, усердсвуяй Господу и с ним двести тысящ мужей сильных.
And next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
17 И от Вениаминя сильнии силы Елиад, и с ним держащих лук и щиты двести тысящ сильных:
And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 и по нем Иозавад, и с ним сто осмьдесят тысящ, сильнии ко брани.
And next to him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for the war.
19 Сии служащии царю, кроме оных, ихже постави царь по градом крепким во всей Иудеи.
These waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
