2 Chronicles 17:1-19

And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead, and strengthened
<02388> (8691)
himself against Israel
<03478>_.
And he placed
<05414> (8799)
forces
<02428>
in all the fenced
<01219> (8803)
cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and set
<05414> (8799)
garrisons
<05333>
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the cities
<05892>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
which Asa
<0609>
his father
<01>
had taken
<03920> (8804)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
was with Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,
because he walked
<01980> (8804)
in the first
<07223>
ways
<01870>
of his father
<01>
David
<01732>_,
and sought
<01875> (8804)
not unto Baalim
<01168>_;
{of...: or, of his father, and of David}
But sought
<01875> (8804)
to the [LORD] God
<0430>
of his father
<01>_,
and walked
<01980> (8804)
in his commandments
<04687>_,
and not after the doings
<04639>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Therefore the LORD
<03068>
stablished
<03559> (8686)
the kingdom
<04467>
in his hand
<03027>_;
and all Judah
<03063>
brought
<05414> (8799)
to Jehoshaphat
<03092>
presents
<04503>_;
and he had riches
<06239>
and honour
<03519>
in abundance
<07230>_.
{brought: Heb. gave}
And his heart
<03820>
was lifted up
<01361> (8799)
in the ways
<01870>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
moreover he took away
<05493> (8689)
the high places
<01116>
and groves
<0842>
out of Judah
<03063>_.
{was...: that is, was encouraged}
Also in the third
<07969>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)
he sent
<07971> (8804)
to his princes
<08269>_,
[even] to Benhail
<01134>_,
and to Obadiah
<05662>_,
and to Zechariah
<02148>_,
and to Nethaneel
<05417>_,
and to Michaiah
<04322>_,
to teach
<03925> (8763)
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_.
And with them [he sent] Levites
<03881>_,
[even] Shemaiah
<08098>_,
and Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and Zebadiah
<02069>_,
and Asahel
<06214>_,
and Shemiramoth
<08070>_,
and Jehonathan
<03083>_,
and Adonijah
<0138>_,
and Tobijah
<02900>_,
and Tobadonijah
<02899>_,
Levites
<03881>_;
and with them Elishama
<0476>
and Jehoram
<03088>_,
priests
<03548>_.
And they taught
<03925> (8762)
in Judah
<03063>_,
and [had] the book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>
with them, and went about
<05437> (8799)
throughout all the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and taught
<03925> (8762)
the people
<05971>_.
And the fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>
fell upon all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the lands
<0776>
that [were] round about
<05439>
Judah
<03063>_,
so that they made no war
<03898> (8738)
against Jehoshaphat
<03092>_.
{fell: Heb. was}
Also [some] of the Philistines
<06430>
brought
<0935> (8688)
Jehoshaphat
<03092>
presents
<04503>_,
and tribute
<04853>
silver
<03701>_;
and the Arabians
<06163>
brought
<0935> (8688)
him flocks
<06629>_,
seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
and seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>

<0352>_,
and seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>
and seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
he goats
<08495>_.
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
waxed
<01980> (8802)
great
<01432>
exceedingly
<04605>_;
and he built
<01129> (8799)
in Judah
<03063>
castles
<01003>_,
and cities
<05892>
of store
<04543>_.
{castles: or, palaces}
And he had much
<07227>
business
<04399>
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_:
and the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_,
mighty men
<01368>
of valour
<02428>_,
[were] in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And these [are] the numbers
<06486>
of them according to the house
<01004>

And next
