Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
犹大王约沙法
17 亚撒的儿子约沙法接续他作王，奋勇自强，防备以色列。 2 他安置军兵在犹大一切坚固城里，又安置驻军在犹大地和他父亲亚撒所得以法莲的城镇中。 3 耶和华与约沙法同在，因为他行他祖先大卫[a]从前所行的道，不去寻求诸巴力， 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 所以耶和华坚定约沙法手中的国，犹大众人给他进贡；约沙法大有财富和尊荣。 6 他乐意遵行耶和华的道，并且从犹大再次除掉一切丘坛和亚舍拉。
7 他作王第三年，差遣官员便‧亥伊勒、俄巴底、撒迦利雅、拿坦业、米该亚往犹大各城去教导百姓。 8 跟他们一同去的有利未人示玛雅、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；跟他们一同的又有以利沙玛和约兰二位祭司。 9 他们在犹大教导，带着耶和华的律法书，走遍犹大各城教导百姓。
约沙法的功绩
10 犹大四围地上的邦国都惧怕耶和华，不敢与约沙法争战。 11 有些非利士人送礼物，进贡银子给约沙法。阿拉伯人也送他七千七百只公绵羊，七千七百只公山羊。 12 约沙法日渐强大，他在犹大建造堡垒和储货城。 13 他在犹大城镇中有许多工程，在耶路撒冷又有战士，就是大能的勇士。 14 他们按着父家的数目如下：犹大族的千夫长以押拿为首，率领三十万大能的勇士； 15 其次是约哈难千夫长，率领二十八万； 16 其次是细基利的儿子亚玛斯雅，他是一个自愿奉献给耶和华的人，率领二十万大能的勇士。 17 便雅悯族有大能的勇士以利雅大，率领二十万拿弓箭和盾牌的人； 18 其次是约萨拔，率领十八万预备打仗的人。 19 这些都是伺候王的，还有王在全犹大的坚固城所安置的不在其内。

Jehoshaphat Becomes King
17 Jehoshaphat succeeded his father Asa as king and strengthened his position against Israel. 2 He stationed troops in the fortified cities of Judah, in the Judean countryside, and in the cities which Asa had captured in the territory of Ephraim. 3 The Lord blessed Jehoshaphat because he followed the example of his father's early life and did not worship Baal. 4 He served his father's God, obeyed God's commands, and did not act the way the kings of Israel did. 5 The Lord gave Jehoshaphat firm control over the kingdom of Judah, and all the people brought him gifts, so that he became wealthy and highly honored. 6 He took pride in serving the Lord and destroyed all the pagan places of worship and the symbols of the goddess Asherah in Judah.
7 In the third year of his reign he sent out the following officials to teach in the cities of Judah: Benhail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah. 8 They were accompanied by nine Levites and two priests. The Levites were Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah; and the priests were Elishama and Jehoram. 9 They took the book of the Law of the Lord and went through all the towns of Judah, teaching it to the people.
Jehoshaphat's Greatness
10 The Lord made all the surrounding kingdoms afraid to go to war against King Jehoshaphat. 11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat a large amount of silver and other gifts, and some Arabs brought him 7,700 sheep and 7,700 goats. 12 So Jehoshaphat continued to grow more and more powerful. Throughout Judah he built fortifications and cities, 13 where supplies were stored in huge amounts.
In Jerusalem he stationed outstanding officers, 14 according to their clans. Adnah was the commander of the troops from the clans of Judah, and he had 300,000 soldiers under him. 15 Second in rank was Jehohanan, with 280,000 soldiers, 16 and third was Amasiah son of Zichri, with 200,000. (Amasiah had volunteered to serve the Lord.) 17 The commander of the troops from the clans of Benjamin was Eliada, an outstanding soldier, in command of 200,000 men armed with shields and bows. 18 His second in command was Jehozabad with 180,000 men, well-equipped for battle. 19 These soldiers served the king in Jerusalem, and in addition he stationed others in the other fortified cities of Judah.
