2 Dnevnika 17
1 Tada se zacari Josafat sin njegov na njegovo mjesto, i ukrijepi se na Izrailja.
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 I ponamješta vojsku po svijem tvrdijem gradovima Judinijem, i ponamješta straže po zemlji Judinoj i po gradovima Jefremovijem, koje zadobi Asa otac njegov.
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 I bijaše Gospod s Josafatom, jer hoðaše prvijem putovima Davida oca svojega i ne tražaše Vala.
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
4 Nego Boga oca svojega tražaše i po zapovijestima njegovijem hoðaše, i ne èinjaše kao sinovi Izrailjevi.
But sought to the [ Lord] God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Zato utvrdi Gospod carstvo u ruci njegovoj, i sav narod Judin davaše dare Josafatu, te imaše veliko blago i slavu.
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 I srce se njegovo oslobodi na putovima Gospodnjim, te još obori visine i lugove u Judeji.
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, [even] to Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8 I s njima Levite: Semaju i Nataniju i Zevadiju i Asaila i Semiramota i Jonatana i Adoniju i Toviju i Tov-Adoniju, Levite, i s njima Elisamu i Jorama sveštenike.

9 I uèahu po Judeji imajuæi pri sebi knjigu zakona Gospodnjega, i prohoðahu sve gradove Judine uèeæi narod.
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 I doðe strah Gospodnji na sva carstva po zemljama oko Jude, te ne vojevaše na Josafata.
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 I sami Filisteji donošahu Josafatu dare i danak u novcu; i Arapi dogonjahu mu stoku, po sedam tisuæa i sedam stotina ovnova i po sedam tisuæa i sedam stotina jaraca.
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 Tako napredovaše Josafat i podiže se veoma; i sazida u Judeji kule i gradove za žitnice.
