1 Och hans son Josaphat vardt Konung i hans stad, och vardt mägtig emot Israel;
And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 Och lade krigsfolk uti alla Juda fasta städer, och satte befallningsmän i Juda land, och i Ephraims städer, som hans fader Asa vunnit hade.
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 Och Herren var med Josaphat; ty han vandrade i de förra Davids sins faders vägar, och sökte icke Baalim;
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 Utan sins faders Gud, och vandrade i hans bud, och icke efter Israels gerningar.
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 Derföre stadfäste Herren honom riket; och hele Juda gaf Josaphat skänker; och han hade rikedomar och härlighet ganska mycket.
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 Och då hans hjerta dristigt vardt i Herrans vägar, hof han också bort höjderna och lundarna utu Juda.
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 Uti tredje årena sins rikes sände han sina Förstar, Benhail, Obadia, Zacharia, Nethaneel och Michaja, att de skulle lära i Juda städer;
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.
8 Och med dem de Leviter, Semaja, Nethania, Sebadja, Asahel, Semiramoth, Jonathan, Adonia, Tobia och TobAdonia; och med dem Presterna, Elisama och Joram.
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 Och de lärde i Juda, och hade Herrans lagbok med sig, och foro omkring i alla Juda städer, och lärde folket.
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 Och Herrans fruktan kom öfver all rike i de land, som lågo omkring Juda, så att de intet stridde emot Josaphat.
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 Och de Philisteer förde Josaphat skänker, en hop silfver; och de Araber förde honom sjutusend och sjuhundrad vädrar, och sjutusend och sjuhundrad bockar.
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.
12 Alltså växte Josaphat till, och vardt ju större och större; och han byggde i Juda slott och kornstäder.
And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
