1And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel.
1ΚΑΙ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατίσχυσεν Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
2And he placed numbers of soldiers in all the fortified cities of Juda. And he put garrisons in the land of Juda, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
2καὶ ἔδωκε δύναμιν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα ταῖς ὀχυραῖς καὶ κατέστησεν ἡγουμένους ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν Ἐφραίμ, ἃς προκατελάβετο Ἀσὰ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
3And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
3καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος μετὰ Ἰωσαφάτ, ὅτι ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ταῖς πρώταις καὶ οὐκ ἐξεζήτησε τὰ εἴδωλα,
4But in the God of his father, and walk in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
4ἀλλὰ Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐξεζήτησε καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπορεύθη, καὶ οὐχ ὡς τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
5And the Lord established the kingdom in his hand, and all Juda brought presents to Josaphat: and he acquired immense riches, and much glory.
5καὶ κατεύθυνε Κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκε πᾶς Ἰούδα δῶρα τῷ Ἰωσαφάτ, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα πολλή.
6And when his heart had taken courage for the ways of the Lord, he took away also the high places and the groves out of Juda.
6καὶ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐν ὁδῷ Κυρίου, καὶ ἔτι εξῇρε τὰ ὑψηλὰ καὶ τὰ ἄλση ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς Ἰούδα.
7And in the third year of his reign, he sent of his princes Benhail, and Abdias, and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Micheas, to teach in the cities of Juda:
7καὶ ἐν τῷ τρίτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἀπέστειλε τοὺς ἡγουμένους αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν δυνατῶν, τὸν Ἀβδίαν καὶ Ζαχαρίαν καὶ Ναθαναὴλ καὶ Μιχαίαν, τοῦ διδάσκειν ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα·
8And with them the Levites, Semeias, and Nathanias, and Zabadias, and Asael, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Thobadonias Levites, and with them Elisama, and Joram priests.
8καὶ μετ' αὐτῶν οἱ Λευῖται Σαμαίας καὶ Ναθανίας καὶ Ζαβδίας καὶ Ἀσιὴλ καὶ Σεμιραμὼθ καὶ Ἰωνάθαν καὶ Ἀδωνίας καὶ Τωβίας, οἱ Λευῖται, καὶ μετ' αὐτῶν Ἐλισαμὰ καὶ Ἰωρὰμ οἱ ἱερεῖς,
9And they taught the people in Juda, having with them the book of the law of the Lord: and they went about all the cities of Juda, and instructed the people.
9καὶ ἐδίδασκον ἐν Ἰούδᾳ, καὶ μετ' αὐτῶν βίβλος νόμου Κυρίου, καὶ διῆλθον ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐδίδασκον τὸν λαόν.
10And the fear of the Lord came upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Juda, and they durst not make war against Josaphat.
10καὶ ἐγένετο ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάσαις ταῖς βασιλείαις τῆς γῆς κύκλῳ Ἰούδα, καὶ οὐκ ἐπολέμουν πρὸς Ἰωσαφάτ·
11The Philistines also brought presents to Josaphat, and tribute in silver, and the Arabians brought him cattle, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and as many he goats.
11καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἔφερον τῷ Ἰωσαφὰτ δῶρα καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ δόματα, καὶ οἱ Ἄραβες ἔφερον αὐτῷ κριοὺς προβάτων ἑπτακισχιλίους ἑπτακοσίους.
12And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
12καὶ ἦν Ἰωσαφὰτ πορευόμενος μείζων ἕως εἰς ὕψος καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ οἰκήσεις καὶ πόλεις ὀχυράς.
13And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem.
13καὶ ἔργα πολλὰ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ καὶ ἄνδρες πολεμισταὶ δυνατοὶ ἰσχύοντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
14Of whom this is the number of the houses and families of every one: in Juda captains of the army, Ednas the chief, and with him three hundred thousand most valiant men.
14καὶ οὗτος ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν κατ' οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ τῷ Ἰούδᾳ χιλίαρχοι, Ἔδνας ὁ ἄρχων καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ υἱοὶ δυνατοὶ δυνάμεως τριακόσιαι χιλιάδες·
15After him Johanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.
15καὶ μετ' αὐτὸν Ἰωανὰν ὁ ἡγούμενος καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ διακόσιαι ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδες·
16And after him was Amasias the son of Zechri, consecrated to the Lord, and with him were two hundred thousand valiant men.
16καὶ μετ' αὐτὸν Ἀμασίας ὁ τοῦ Ζαρί, ὁ προθυμούμενος τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ διακόσιαι χιλιάδες δυνατοὶ δυνάμεως.
17After him was Eliada valiant in battle, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield.
17καὶ ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμὶν δυνατὸς δυνάμεως Ἐλιαδὰ καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ τοξόται καὶ πελτασταὶ διακόσιαι χιλιάδες.
18After him also was Jozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war.
18καὶ μετ' αὐτὸν Ἰωζαβὰδ καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδες δυνατοὶ πολέμου.
19All these were at the hand of the king, beside others, whom he had put in the walled cities, in all Juda.
19οὗτοι οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἐκτὸς ὧν ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι ταῖς ὀχυραῖς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ.
