2 Chronicles 17
Names of God Bible
King Jehoshaphat of Judah
17 Asa’s son Jehoshaphat succeeded him as king. Jehoshaphat strengthened himself to wage war against Israel. 2 He put troops in all the fortified cities of Judah and placed military posts in Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
3 Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, who lived in the old way like his ancestor David. Jehoshaphat didn’t dedicate his life to serving other gods—the Baals. 4 Instead, he dedicated his life to his ancestor’s Elohim and lived by Elohim’s commands. Jehoshaphat did not do what Israel was doing. 5 So Yahweh established Jehoshaphat’s power over the kingdom. All the people of Judah gave gifts to Jehoshaphat, and he had a lot of riches and honor. 6 He had the confidence to live the way Yahweh wanted him to live. He also got rid of the illegal places of worship and poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah in Judah.
7 In the third year of his reign, he sent his officers Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah to teach in the cities of Judah. 8 With them were the Levites Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, Tob Adonijah, and the priests Elishama and Jehoram. 9 They taught in Judah. They had the Book of Yahweh’s Teachings with them when they taught the people in all the cities of Judah.
10 Fear of Yahweh came to all the kingdoms around Judah. As a result, they didn’t wage war against Jehoshaphat. 11 Some of the Philistines brought gifts and silver as taxes. The Arabs also brought him flocks: 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats. 12 So Jehoshaphat became more and more powerful. He built fortresses and cities where supplies were stored in Judah. 13 He had large supplies of food in the cities of Judah and an army of professional soldiers with him in Jerusalem. 14 The following is a breakdown of these soldiers. They are listed by families. Judah’s regimental commanders were Commander Adnah (with 300,000 fighting men), 15 next to him Commander Jehohanan (with 280,000), 16 and next to him Amasiah, Zichri’s son, who volunteered to serve Yahweh (with 200,000 fighting men). 17 From Benjamin there was the fighting man Eliada (with 200,000 armed men with bows and shields), 18 and next to him was Jehozabad (with him was an army of 180,000 armed men). 19 These were the men who served the king in addition to those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout Judah.

Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
Иосафат – царь Иудеи
17 Иосафат, его сын, стал царём вместо него и укрепился против Исраила. 2 Он поставил войска во всех укреплённых городах Иудеи и разместил отряды в Иудее и в городах Ефраима, которые захватил его отец Аса.
3 Вечный был с Иосафатом, потому что в свои ранние годы он следовал путям своего предка Давуда. Он не вопрошал статуи Баала[a], 4 а искал Бога своего отца и поступал по Его повелениям, а не по обычаям Исраила. 5 Вечный утвердил его царство, и вся Иудея принесла Иосафату дары, так что он стал почитаем, и к тому же очень богат. 6 Его сердце было предано путям Вечного. Он убрал в Иудее капища на возвышенностях и столбы Ашеры.
7 На третьем году своего правления, он послал своих приближённых Бен-Хаиля, Авдия, Закарию, Нетанила и Михея учить в городах Иудеи. 8 С ними были левиты: Шемая, Нетания, Зевадия, Асаил, Шемирамот, Ионафан, Адония, Тобия и Тов-Адония, и священнослужители Элишама и Иорам. 9 Они учили в Иудее, имея с собой книгу Закона Вечного. Они обходили все города Иудеи и учили народ.
10 Ужас перед Вечным охватил все царства земель, которые окружали Иудею, и они не воевали с Иосафатом. 11 Некоторые из филистимлян приносили Иосафату дары, и в дань – серебро, а арабы привели ему стада мелкого скота: семь тысяч семьсот баранов и семь тысяч семьсот козлов.
12 Иосафат становился всё сильнее и сильнее. Он строил в Иудее крепости и города для хранения припасов 13 и держал в городах Иудеи много припасов, а в Иерусалиме у него были опытные, могучие воины. 14 Вот их список по кланам:
Из рода Иуды отрядами в тысячу человек командовали:
военачальник Аднах, у которого было 300 000 отличных воинов;
15 за ним – военачальник Иоханан с 280 000 людей;
16 за ним – Амасия, сын Зихри, который добровольно вызвался нести службу Вечного с 200 000 отличных воинов.
17 Из рода Вениамина:
Элиада, могучий воин, с 200 000 людей, вооружённых луками и щитами;
18 за ним – Иехозавад со 180 000 людей, вооружённых для битвы.
19 Это воины, которые служили царю, помимо тех, кого он поставил в укреплённых городах по всей Иудее.

2 Chronicles 17
King James Version
17 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons 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 first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
4 But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Therefore the Lord stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8 And with them he sent Levites, even 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, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11 Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.
13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.
14 And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.
15 And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.
16 And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the Lord; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.
19 These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
