2nd Chronicles 历代志下17

（单词翻译）

17Jehoshaphat his son succeeded him as king and strengthened himself against Israel.
2He stationed troops in all the fortified¹ cities of Judah and put garrisons² in Judah and in the towns of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
3The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because in his early years he walked in the ways his father David had followed. He did not consult the Baals
4but sought the God of his father and followed his commands rather than the practices of Israel.
5The Lord established the kingdom under his control; and all Judah brought gifts to Jehoshaphat, so that he had great wealth and honor.
6His heart was devoted³ to the ways of the Lord ; furthermore, he removed the high places and the Asherah poles from Judah.
7In the third year of his reign⁴ he sent his officials Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel and Micaiah to teach in the towns of Judah.
8With them were certain Levites-Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah and Tob-Adonijah-and the priests Elishama and Jehoram.
9They taught throughout Judah, taking with them the Book of the Law of the Lord ; they went around to all the towns of Judah and taught the people.
10The fear of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands surrounding Judah, so that they did not make war with Jehoshaphat.
11Some Philistines⁵ brought Jehoshaphat gifts and silver as tribute, and the Arabs brought him flocks: seven thousand seven hundred rams⁶ and seven thousand seven hundred goats.
12Jehoshaphat became more and more powerful; he built forts and store cities in Judah
13and had large supplies in the towns of Judah. He also kept experienced fighting men in Jerusalem.
14Their enrollment⁷ by families was as follows: From Judah, commanders of units of 1,000: Adnah the commander, with 300,000 fighting men;
15next, Jehohanan the commander, with 280,000;
16next, Amasiah son of Zicri, who volunteered himself for the service of the Lord , with 200,000.
17From Benjamin: Eliada, a valiant⁸ soldier, with 200,000 men armed with bows and shields;
18next, Jehozabad, with 180,000 men armed for battle.
19These were the men who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
