II Chronicles
Chapter
17
1
And Jehoshaphat his {Asa's} son
reigned
in his place/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 Jehovah/God was with Jehoshaphat,
because
he Walked in the first Ways of his father David,
and
sought not unto Baalim
{false gods - Baal was a pseudo Jesus Christ}; 4
but
sought to Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead
of his father,
and
Walked in His commandments,
and
not after the doings of Israel.
5
Therefore Jehovah/God established the kingdom in his hand;
and
all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents;
and
he had riches and honor in abundance.
6
And his heart/'right lobe'
was
lifted up in the ways of Jehovah/God
moreover
he took away the high places
and
groves out of Judah.
{which were used for Phallic Cult sex, human sacrifice
in the false worship of Baal and Asherah}
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 Jehovah/God with them,
and
went about throughout all the cities of Judah,
and
taught the people.
10
And the fear of Jehovah/God
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/grew 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 valor, 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 valor
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 Jehovah/God;
and
with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17
And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valor,
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.
