2 Chronicles 17
1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
regnavit autem Iosaphat filius eius pro eo et invaluit contra Israhel
2 He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
constituitque militum numeros in cunctis urbibus Iudae quae erant vallatae muris praesidiaque disposuit in terra Iuda et in civitatibus Ephraim quas ceperat Asa pater eius
3 The LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and did not seek the Baals,
et fuit Dominus cum Iosaphat quia ambulavit in viis David patris sui primis et non speravit in Baalim
4 but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel.
sed in Deo patris sui et perrexit in praeceptis illius et non iuxta peccata Israhel
5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
confirmavitque Dominus regnum in manu eius et dedit omnis Iuda munera Iosaphat factaeque sunt ei infinitae divitiae et multa gloria
6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD. Furthermore, he took away the high places and the Asherah poles out of Judah.
cumque sumpsisset cor eius audaciam propter vias Domini etiam excelsa et lucos de Iuda abstulit
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
tertio autem anno regni sui misit de principibus suis Benail et Obdiam et Zacchariam et Nathanahel et Micheam ut docerent in civitatibus Iuda
8 and with them Levites, even Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
et cum eis Levitas Semeiam et Nathaniam et Zabadiam Asahel quoque et Semiramoth et Ionathan Adoniam et Tobiam et Tobadoniam Levitas et cum eis Elisama et Ioram sacerdotes
9 They taught in Judah, having the book of the LORD’s law with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
docebantque in Iuda habentes librum legis Domini et circuibant cunctas urbes Iuda atque erudiebant populum
10 The fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
itaque factus est pavor Domini super omnia regna terrarum quae erant per gyrum Iuda nec audebant bellare contra Iosaphat
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks: seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.
sed et Philisthei Iosaphat munera deferebant et vectigal argenti Arabes quoque adducebant pecora arietum septem milia septingentos et hircos totidem
12 Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
crevit ergo Iosaphat et magnificatus est usque in sublime atque aedificavit in Iuda domos ad instar turrium urbesque muratas
13 He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.
et multa opera patravit in urbibus Iuda viri quoque bellatores et robusti erant in Hierusalem
14 This was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: From Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
quorum iste numerus per domos atque familias singulorum in Iuda principes exercitus Ednas dux et cum eo robustissimorum trecenta milia
15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand;
post hunc Iohanan princeps et cum eo ducenta octoginta milia
16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
post istum quoque Amasias filius Zechri consecratus Domino et cum eo ducenta milia virorum fortium
17 From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
hunc sequebatur robustus ad proelia Heliada et cum eo tenentium arcum et clypeum ducenta milia
18 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready and prepared for war.
post istum etiam Iozabath et cum eo centum octoginta milia expeditorum militum
19 These were those who waited on the king, in addition to those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
hii omnes erant ad manum regis exceptis aliis quos posuerat in urbibus muratis et in universo Iuda
