13
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
14
And they
buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him
in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds
of spices
prepared by the apothecaries’
art: and they made a very great burning for him.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 17
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
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.
3
And the L
ORD
was with Jehoshaphat, because
he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
4
But sought to the
L
ORD
God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5
Therefore the L
ORD
stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat
presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
6
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of
the L
ORD
: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
7
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
And with them
he sent
Levites,
even
Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and
Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and
Jehoram, priests.
9
And they taught in Judah, and
had
the book of the law of the L
ORD
with them,
and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
10
And the fear of the L
ORD
fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that
were
round about Judah,
so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11
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
And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.
13
And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour,
were
in Jerusalem.
14
And these
are
the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of
Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with himmighty men of valour three hundred
thousand.
15
And next to him
was
Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore
thousand.
16
And next him
was
Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the
L
ORD
; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
17
And of Benjamin; Eliada a
mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18
And
next him
was
Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the
war.
19
These waited on the king, beside
those
whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout
all Judah.
