2 Chronicles 17:12-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

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 the Lord (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.
