2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
regnavit autem Iosaphat filius eius pro eo et invaluit contra Israhel
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.
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 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim;
et fuit Dominus cum Iosaphat quia ambulavit in viis David patris sui primis et non speravit in Baalim
4 but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
sed in Deo patris sui et perrexit in praeceptis illius et non iuxta peccata Israhel
5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
confirmavitque Dominus regnum in manu eius et dedit omnis Iuda munera Iosaphat factaeque sunt ei infinitae divitiae et multa gloria
6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim 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, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and 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 the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, 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 And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them; and 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 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.
itaque factus est pavor Domini super omnia regna terrarum quae erant per gyrum Iuda nec audebant bellare contra Iosaphat
11 And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.
sed et Philisthei Iosaphat munera deferebant et vectigal argenti Arabes quoque adducebant pecora arietum septem milia septingentos et hircos totidem
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
crevit ergo Iosaphat et magnificatus est usque in sublime atque aedificavit in Iuda domos ad instar turrium urbesque muratas
13 And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.
et multa opera patravit in urbibus Iuda viri quoque bellatores et robusti erant in Hierusalem
14 And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand:
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 and fourscore 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 unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour:
post istum quoque Amasias filius Zechri consecratus Domino et cum eo ducenta milia virorum fortium
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, 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 an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war.
post istum etiam Iozabath et cum eo centum octoginta milia expeditorum militum
19 These were they that waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
hii omnes erant ad manum regis exceptis aliis quos posuerat in urbibus muratis et in universo Iuda
