1 Su hijo Josafat reinó en su lugar y se fortaleció contra Israel.
And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 Destacó tropas en todas las ciudades fortificadas de Judá y colocó guarniciones en la tierra de Judá y en las ciudades de Efraín que su padre Asa capturó.
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.
3 Yavé estuvo con Josafat, porque anduvo en los procedimientos de su antepasado David. No acudió a los baales,
And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat; because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not after the Be'alim;
4 sino acudió al ʼElohim de su padre. Anduvo en sus Mandamientos y no según las obras de Israel.
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.
5 Yavé confirmó el reino en su mano. Todo Judá dio presentes a Josafat, y tuvo riqueza y honores en abundancia.
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.
6 Su corazón se animó en los caminos de Yavé, y quitó de Judá los lugares altos y las Aseras.
And his heart raised itself up in the ways of the Lord, and he removed moreover the high-places and groves out of Judah.
7 En el tercer año de su reinado, [el rey Josafat] envió a sus magistrados Ben-hail, Abdías, Zacarías, Natanael y Micaías, a enseñar en las ciudades de Judá.
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.

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.
9 Ellos enseñaron en Judá y llevaban consigo el Rollo de la Ley de Yavé. Recorrieron todas las ciudades de Judá y enseñaban al pueblo.
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.
10 El pavor de Yavé cayó sobre todos los reinos de las tierras que estaban alrededor de Judá, y no hicieron guerra contra Josafat.
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.
11 Algunos de los filisteos llevaban a Josafat presentes y plata como tributo. También los árabes le llevaron rebaños: 7.700 carneros y 7.700 machos cabríos.
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.
