約沙法做猶大王
17 亞撒的兒子約沙法接續他做王，奮勇自強，防備以色列人， 2 安置軍兵在猶大一切堅固城裡，又安置防兵在猶大地和他父亞撒所得以法蓮的城邑中。 3 耶和華與約沙法同在，因為他行他祖大衛初行的道，不尋求巴力， 4 只尋求他父親的神，遵行他的誡命，不效法以色列人的行為。 5 所以耶和華堅定他的國，猶大眾人給他進貢，約沙法大有尊榮、資財。 6 他高興遵行耶和華的道，並且從猶大除掉一切丘壇和木偶。
奮志為善
7 他做王第三年，就差遣臣子便亥伊勒、俄巴底、撒迦利雅、拿坦業、米該亞往猶大各城去教訓百姓。 8 同著他們有利未人示瑪雅、尼探雅、西巴第雅、亞撒黑、示米拉末、約拿單、亞多尼雅、多比雅、駝巴多尼雅，又有祭司以利沙瑪、約蘭同著他們。 9 他們帶著耶和華的律法書，走遍猶大各城教訓百姓。
列國畏其強盛臣服納貢
10 耶和華使猶大四圍的列國都甚恐懼，不敢與約沙法爭戰。 11 有些非利士人與約沙法送禮物納貢銀，阿拉伯人也送他公綿羊七千七百隻、公山羊七千七百隻。 12 約沙法日漸強大，在猶大建造營寨和積貨城。 13 他在猶大城邑中有許多工程，又在耶路撒冷有戰士，就是大能的勇士。 14 他們的數目，按著宗族記在下面：猶大族的，千夫長押拿為首，率領大能的勇士三十萬； 15 其次是千夫長約哈難，率領大能的勇士二十八萬； 16 其次是細基利的兒子亞瑪斯雅，他為耶和華犧牲自己，率領大能的勇士二十萬。 17 便雅憫族，是大能的勇士以利雅大，率領拿弓箭和盾牌的二十萬； 18 其次是約薩拔，率領預備打仗的十八萬。 19 這都是伺候王的，還有王在猶大全地堅固城所安置的，不在其內。

猶大王約沙法
17 亞撒的兒子約沙法繼位，他發憤圖強對抗以色列。 2 他派兵駐守猶大所有的堅城，又把守備軍安置在猶大和他父親亞撒所征服的以法蓮各城邑。 3 耶和華與約沙法同在，因為他效法他祖先大衛起初所行的，沒有尋求巴力， 4 只尋求他父親的上帝，遵行祂的誡命，沒有效法以色列人的行為。 5 因此，耶和華鞏固他的王位，所有的猶大人都向他進貢，他極有財富和尊榮。 6 他專心遵行耶和華的道，剷除猶大境內的邱壇和亞舍拉神像。
7 他在執政第三年委派官員便·亥伊勒、俄巴底、撒迦利雅、拿坦業和米該亞到猶大各城教導民眾， 8 與他們同去的還有利未人示瑪雅、尼探雅、西巴第雅、亞撒黑、示米拉末、約拿單、亞多尼雅、多比雅和駝·巴多尼雅，還有祭司以利沙瑪和約蘭。 9 他們帶著耶和華的律法書，走遍猶大各城鎮教導民眾。 10 猶大周圍的列國都懼怕耶和華，不敢與約沙法爭戰。 11 一些非利士人向他進貢禮物和銀子，阿拉伯人也給他送來公綿羊和公山羊各七千七百隻。
12 約沙法日漸強大，在猶大境內修建堡壘和儲貨城， 13 在猶大各城儲備大量物資。他又在耶路撒冷屯駐精兵， 14 其人數按宗族記在下面。
猶大族有千夫長押拿，率領精兵三十萬； 15 其次是千夫長約哈難，率領軍兵二十八萬； 16 其次是自願事奉耶和華的細基利的兒子亞瑪斯雅，率領精兵二十萬。 17 便雅憫族有勇士以利雅大，率領手持弓箭和盾牌的軍兵二十萬； 18 其次是約薩拔，率領全副武裝的軍兵十八萬。 19 以上都是服侍王的軍兵，不包括王派去駐守猶大各堅城的軍兵。

Judah’s King Jehoshaphat
17 His son Jehoshaphat became king in his place(A) and strengthened himself against Israel. 2 He stationed troops in every fortified city of Judah(B) and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.(C)
3 Now the Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the former ways of his father David.[a] He did not seek the Baals 4 but sought the God of his father and walked by His commands, not according to the practices of Israel.(D) 5 So the Lord established the kingdom in his hand. Then all Judah brought him tribute, and he had riches and honor in abundance.(E) 6 His mind rejoiced in the Lord’s ways, and he again(F) removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.(G)
Jehoshaphat’s Educational Plan
7 In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent his officials—Ben-hail,[b] Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah—to teach in the cities of Judah.(H) 8 The Levites with them were Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah,[c] Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah; the priests, Elishama and Jehoram, were with these Levites. 9 They taught throughout Judah, having the book of the Lord’s instruction with them.(I) They went throughout the towns of Judah and taught the people.
10 The terror of the Lord was on all the kingdoms of the lands that surrounded Judah,(J) so they didn’t fight against Jehoshaphat. 11 Some of the Philistines also brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat, and the Arabs brought him flocks: 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats.(K)
Jehoshaphat’s Military Might
12 Jehoshaphat grew stronger and stronger. He built fortresses(L) and storage cities in Judah 13 and carried out great works in the towns of Judah. He had fighting men, brave warriors, in Jerusalem. 14 These are their numbers according to their ancestral families. For Judah, the commanders of thousands:
Adnah the commander and 300,000 brave warriors with him;
15 next to him, Jehohanan the commander and 280,000 with him;
16 next to him, Amasiah son of Zichri, the volunteer(M) of the Lord, and 200,000 brave warriors with him;
17 from Benjamin, Eliada, a brave warrior, and 200,000 with him armed with bow and shield;
18 next to him, Jehozabad and 180,000 with him equipped for war.
19 These were the ones who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.(N)

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