历代志下 17
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
约沙法做犹大王
17 亚撒的儿子约沙法接续他做王，奋勇自强，防备以色列人， 2 安置军兵在犹大一切坚固城里，又安置防兵在犹大地和他父亚撒所得以法莲的城邑中。 3 耶和华与约沙法同在，因为他行他祖大卫初行的道，不寻求巴力， 4 只寻求他父亲的神，遵行他的诫命，不效法以色列人的行为。 5 所以耶和华坚定他的国，犹大众人给他进贡，约沙法大有尊荣、资财。 6 他高兴遵行耶和华的道，并且从犹大除掉一切丘坛和木偶。
奋志为善
7 他做王第三年，就差遣臣子便亥伊勒、俄巴底、撒迦利雅、拿坦业、米该亚往犹大各城去教训百姓。 8 同着他们有利未人示玛雅、尼探雅、西巴第雅、亚撒黑、示米拉末、约拿单、亚多尼雅、多比雅、驼巴多尼雅，又有祭司以利沙玛、约兰同着他们。 9 他们带着耶和华的律法书，走遍犹大各城教训百姓。
列国畏其强盛臣服纳贡
10 耶和华使犹大四围的列国都甚恐惧，不敢与约沙法争战。 11 有些非利士人与约沙法送礼物纳贡银，阿拉伯人也送他公绵羊七千七百只、公山羊七千七百只。 12 约沙法日渐强大，在犹大建造营寨和积货城。 13 他在犹大城邑中有许多工程，又在耶路撒冷有战士，就是大能的勇士。 14 他们的数目，按着宗族记在下面：犹大族的，千夫长押拿为首，率领大能的勇士三十万； 15 其次是千夫长约哈难，率领大能的勇士二十八万； 16 其次是细基利的儿子亚玛斯雅，他为耶和华牺牲自己，率领大能的勇士二十万。 17 便雅悯族，是大能的勇士以利雅大，率领拿弓箭和盾牌的二十万； 18 其次是约萨拔，率领预备打仗的十八万。 19 这都是伺候王的，还有王在犹大全地坚固城所安置的，不在其内。
2 Chronicles 17
1599 Geneva Bible
17 5 Jehoshaphat trusting in the Lord, prospereth in riches and honor. 6 He abolisheth idolatry, 7 and causeth the people to be taught. 11 He receiveth tribute of strangers. 13 His munitions, and men of war.
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and prevailed against Israel.
2 And he put garrisons in all the strong cities of Judah, and set bands in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the [a]first ways of his father David, and sought not [b]Baalim,
4 But sought the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandment, and not after the [c]trade of Israel.
5 Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought presents to Jehoshaphat, so that he had of riches and honor in abundance.
6 And he [d]lifted up his heart unto the ways of the Lord, and he took away moreover the high places and the groves out of Judah.
7 ¶ And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, Ben-Hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Michaiah, that they should [e]teach in the cities of Judah,
8 And with them Levites, 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 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 And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, and they [f]fought not against Jehoshaphat.
11 Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat gifts and tribute silver, and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.
12 So Jehoshaphat prospered and grew up on high, and he built in Judah palaces and cities of store.
13 And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, and valiant men in Jerusalem.
14 And these are the numbers of them after the house of their fathers, In Judah were captains of thousands, Adnah the captain, and [g]with him of valiant men three hundred thousand.
15 And [h]at his hand Jehohanan a captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.
16 And at his hand Amasiah the son of Zichri, [i]which willingly offered himself unto the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand valiant men.
17 And of Benjamin, Eliada a valiant man, and with him armed men with bow and shield, two hundred thousand.
18 And at his hand Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand armed to the war.
19 These [j]waited on the king, besides those which the king put in the strong cities throughout all Judah.
