Josafat gobierna sobre Judá
17 Luego Josafat, hijo de Asa, lo sucedió en el trono, y fortaleció a Judá para hacerle frente a cualquier ataque de Israel. 2 Estableció tropas en todas las ciudades fortificadas de Judá y asignó guarniciones adicionales en la tierra de Judá y en las ciudades de Efraín que su padre Asa había conquistado.
3 El Señor estaba con Josafat porque siguió el ejemplo de los primeros años de su padre,[a] y no rindió culto a las imágenes de Baal. 4 Buscó al Dios de su padre y obedeció sus mandatos en lugar de seguir las prácticas malvadas del reino de Israel. 5 Por eso el Señor estableció el dominio de Josafat sobre el reino de Judá. Todo el pueblo de Judá le llevaba regalos a Josafat, de modo que llegó a ser muy rico y gozó de gran estima. 6 Estaba profundamente comprometido con[b] los caminos del Señor. Quitó en todo Judá los santuarios paganos y los postes dedicados a la diosa Asera.
7 En el tercer año de su reinado, Josafat envió a sus funcionarios a enseñar en todas las ciudades de Judá. Entre los funcionarios estaban Ben-hail, Abdías, Zacarías, Natanael y Micaías. 8 Junto con ellos envió levitas, incluidos Semaías, Netanías, Zebadías, Asael, Semiramot, Jonatán, Adonías, Tobías y Tobadonías. También envió a los sacerdotes Elisama y Yoram. 9 Llevaron copias del libro de la ley del Señor y recorrieron todas las ciudades de Judá, enseñando a la gente.
10 Entonces el temor del Señor vino sobre todos los reinos vecinos para que ninguno de ellos quisiera declarar la guerra contra Josafat. 11 Algunos de los filisteos le llevaron regalos y plata como tributo, y los árabes le llevaron siete mil setecientos carneros y siete mil setecientos chivos.
12 Entonces Josafat llegó a ser cada vez más poderoso y construyó fortalezas y ciudades de almacenamiento en todo el territorio de Judá. 13 Almacenó numerosas provisiones en las ciudades de Judá y estableció un ejército de soldados experimentados en Jerusalén. 14 Su ejército fue inscrito según los clanes patriarcales.
De Judá había una tropa de trescientos mil hombres, organizada en grupos de mil soldados, bajo el mando de Adnas. 15 El siguiente en mando era Johanán, quien comandaba doscientos ochenta mil soldados. 16 Le seguía Amasías, hijo de Zicri, que se había ofrecido para el servicio del Señor, con doscientos mil soldados bajo su mando.
17 De Benjamín había una tropa de doscientos mil soldados equipados con arcos y escudos. Estaba al mando de Eliada, un soldado veterano. 18 El siguiente en mando era Jozabad, quien comandaba ciento ochenta mil hombres armados.
19 Estas eran las tropas establecidas en Jerusalén al servicio del rey, además de las que Josafat puso en las ciudades fortificadas en todo Judá.

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)

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.
