And JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead, and strengthenedH2388 himself against IsraelH3478.
And he placedH5414 forcesH2428 in all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and setH5414 garrisonsH5333 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of EphraimH669, which AsaH609 his fatherH1 had takenH3920.
And the LORDH3068 was with JehoshaphatH3092, because he walkedH1980 in the firstH7223 waysH1870 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and soughtH1875 not unto BaalimH1168; {of…: or, of his father, and of David}
But soughtH1875 to the LORD GodH430 of his fatherH1, and walkedH1980 in his commandmentsH4687, and not after the doingsH4639 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore the LORDH3068 stablishedH3559 the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027; and all JudahH3063 broughtH5414 to JehoshaphatH3092 presentsH4503; and he had richesH6239 and honourH3519 in abundanceH7230. {brought: Heb. gave}
And his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 in the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068: moreover he took awayH5493 the high placesH1116 and grovesH842 out of JudahH3063. {was…: that is, was encouraged}
Also in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 he sentH7971 to his princesH8269, even to BenhailH1134, and to ObadiahH5662, and to ZechariahH2148, and to NethaneelH5417, and to MichaiahH4322, to teachH3925 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
And with them he sent LevitesH3881, even ShemaiahH8098, and NethaniahH5418, and ZebadiahH2069, and AsahelH6214, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehonathanH3083, and AdonijahH138, and TobijahH2900, and TobadonijahH2899, LevitesH3881; and with them ElishamaH476 and JehoramH3088, priestsH3548.
And they taughtH3925 in JudahH3063, and had the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 with them, and went aboutH5437 throughout all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and taughtH3925 the peopleH5971.
And the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 fell upon all the kingdomsH4467 of the landsH776 that were round aboutH5439 JudahH3063, so that they made no warH3898 against JehoshaphatH3092. {fell: Heb. was}
Also some of the PhilistinesH6430 broughtH935 JehoshaphatH3092 presentsH4503, and tributeH4853 silverH3701; and the ArabiansH6163 broughtH935 him flocksH6629, sevenH7651 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 ramsH352, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 he goatsH8495.
And JehoshaphatH3092 waxedH1980 greatH1432 exceedinglyH4605; and he builtH1129 in JudahH3063 castlesH1003, and citiesH5892 of storeH4543. {castles: or, palaces}
And he had muchH7227 businessH4399 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063: and the menH582 of warH4421, mighty menH1368 of valourH2428, were in JerusalemH3389.
And these are the numbersH6486 of them according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1: Of JudahH3063, the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505; AdnahH5734 the chiefH8269, and with him mighty menH1368 of valourH2428 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505.
And nextH3027 to him was JehohananH3076 the captainH8269, and with him two hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505. {next…: Heb. at his hand}
And nextH3027 him was AmasiahH6007 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147, who willingly offeredH5068 himself unto the LORDH3068; and with him two hundredH3967 thousandH505 mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
And of BenjaminH1144; EliadaH450 a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428, and with him armed menH5401 with bowH7198 and shieldH4043 two hundredH3967 thousandH505.
And nextH3027 him was JehozabadH3075, and with him an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505 ready preparedH2502 for the warH6635.
These waitedH8334 on the kingH4428, beside those whom the kingH4428 putH5414 in the fencedH4013 citiesH5892 throughout all JudahH3063.

Because thou servedstH5647 not the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with joyfulnessH8057, and with gladnessH2898 of heartH3824, for the abundanceH7230 of all things;
For I have keptH8104 the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068, and have not wickedly departedH7561 from my GodH430.
For he took awayH5493 the altarsH4196 of the strangeH5236 gods, and the high placesH1116, and brake downH7665 the imagesH4676, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842: {images: Heb. statues}
For then shalt thou have thy delightH6026 in the AlmightyH7706, and shalt lift upH5375 thy faceH6440 unto GodH433.
But the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493 out of IsraelH3478: nevertheless the heartH3824 of AsaH609 was perfectH8003 all his daysH3117.
ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
NeverthelessH61 there are goodH2896 thingsH1697 foundH4672 in thee, in that thou hast taken awayH1197 the grovesH842 out of the landH776, and hast preparedH3559 thine heartH3824 to seekH1875 GodH430.
Yea, they shall singH7891 in the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068: for greatH1419 is the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068.
Howbeit the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493: for as yet the peopleH5971 had not preparedH3559 their heartsH3824 unto the GodH430 of their fathersH1.
Who is wiseH2450, and he shall understandH995 these things? prudentH995, and he shall knowH3045 them? for the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068 are rightH3477, and the justH6662 shall walkH3212 in them: but the transgressorsH6586 shall fallH3782 therein.
Now when all this was finishedH3615, all IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 went outH3318 to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and brakeH7665 the imagesH4676 in piecesH7665, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842, and threw downH5422 the high placesH1116 and the altarsH4196 out of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, in EphraimH669 also and ManassehH4519, until they had utterly destroyedH3615 them all. Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725, every manH376 to his possessionH272, into their own citiesH5892. {present: Heb. found} {images: Heb. statues} {until…: Heb. until to make an end}
And saidG2036, OG5599 fullG4134 of allG3956 subtiltyG1388 andG2532 allG3956 mischiefG4468, thou childG5207 of the devilG1228, thou enemyG2190 of allG3956 righteousnessG1343, wilt thouG3973 notG3756 ceaseG3973 to pervertG1294 the rightG2117 waysG3598 of the LordG2962?
For in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, while he was yet youngH5288, he beganH2490 to seekH1875 after the GodH430 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 he beganH2490 to purgeH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 from the high placesH1116, and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541.
And they brake downH5422 the altarsH4196 of BaalimH1168 in his presenceH6440; and the imagesH2553, that were on high above themH4605, he cut downH1438; and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541, he brake in piecesH7665, and made dustH1854 of them, and strowedH2236 it uponH6440 the gravesH6913 of them that had sacrificedH2076 unto them. {the images: or, the sun images} {graves: Heb. face of the graves}
And he burntH8313 the bonesH6106 of the priestsH3548 upon their altarsH4196, and cleansedH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
And so did he in the citiesH5892 of ManassehH4519, and EphraimH669, and SimeonH8095, even unto NaphtaliH5321, with their mattocksH2719 round aboutH5439. {mattocks: or, mauls}
And when he had broken downH5422 the altarsH4196 and the grovesH842, and had beatenH3807 the graven imagesH6456 into powderH1854, and cut downH1438 all the idolsH2553 throughout all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, he returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389. {into…: Heb. to make powder}
And he walkedH3212 in all the waysH1870 of AsaH609 his fatherH1; he turned not asideH5493 from it, doingH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068: nevertheless the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493; for the peopleH5971 offeredH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 yet in the high placesH1116.
