2 Chronicles 17:8-19 ▼

8 and with them the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah—the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.

9 And they teach in Judah, and the Scroll of the Law of YHWH [is] with them, and they go around into all cities of Judah, and teach among the people.

10 And there is a fear of YHWH on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] around Judah, and they have not fought with Jehoshaphat;

11 and [some] from the Philistines are bringing a present to Jehoshaphat, and silver [as] tribute; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock of seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.

12 And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he builds palaces and cities of store in Judah,

13 and he has much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, [are] in Jerusalem.

14 And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers—of Judah, heads of thousands: Adnah the head, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;

15 and at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;

16 and at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is willingly offering himself to YHWH, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.

17 And of Benjamin, mighty men of valor: Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;

18 and at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand armed ones of the host.

19 These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortress cities in all of Judah.
