14:017:008 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.
14:017:009 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.
14:017:010 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.
14:017:011 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.
14:017:012 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly;
and he built in Judah
castles,
and cities of store.
14:017:013 And he had much business in the cities
of Judah: and the men
of
war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.
14:017:014 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.
14:017:015 And next to him was Jehohanan the captain,
and with him two
hundred
and fourscore thousand.
14:017:016 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.
14:017:017 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of
valour, and with him
armed
men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
14:017:018 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him
an hundred and
fourscore
thousand ready prepared for the war.
14:017:019 These waited on the king, beside those
whom the king put in
the
fenced cities throughout all Judah.
14:018:001 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in
abundance, and joined
affinity
with Ahab.
14:018:002 And after certain years he went down to
Ahab to Samaria. And
Ahab
killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for
the
people
that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with
him
to Ramothgilead.
14:018:003 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat
king of Judah,
Wilt
thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered
him, I
am
as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will
be
with
thee in the war.
14:018:004 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel,
Enquire, I pray
thee,
at the word of the lord to day.
