King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
1Καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατίσχυσεν Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
2And 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.
2Καὶ ἔδωκε δύναμιν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα ταῖς ὀχυραῖς, καὶ κατέστησεν ἡγουμένους ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν Ἐφραὶμ, ἃς προκατελάβετο Ἀσὰ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
3And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
3Καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος μετὰ Ἰωσαφὰτ, ὅτι ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ταῖς πρώταις, καὶ οὐκ ἐξεζήτησε τὰ εἴδωλα,
4But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings 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.
5Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
5Καὶ κατεύθυνε Κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκε πᾶς Ἰούδα δῶρα τῷ Ἰωσαφὰτ, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα πολλή.
6And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD : moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
6Καὶ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐν ὁδῷ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐξῇρε τὰ ὑψηλὰ καὶ τὰ ἄλση ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς Ἰούδα.
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.
7Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τρίτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἀπέστειλε τοὺς ἡγουμένους αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν δυνατῶν, τὸν Ἀβδιὰν, καὶ Ζαχαρίαν, καὶ Ναθαναὴλ, καὶ Μιχαίαν, τοῦ διδάσκειν ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα.
8And 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.
8Καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν οἱ Λευῖται, Σαμαίας, καὶ Ναθανίας, καὶ Ζαβδίας, καὶ Ἀσιὴλ, καὶ Σεμιραμὼθ, καὶ Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ Ἀδωνίας, καὶ Τωβίας, καὶ Τωβαδωνίας, Λευῖται, καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτῶν Ἐλισαμὰ, καὶ Ἰωρὰμ, οἱ ἱερεῖς.
9And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
9Καὶ ἐδίδασκον ἐν Ἰούδα, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν βίβλος νόμου Κυρίου, καὶ διῆλθον ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐδίδασκον τὸν λαόν.
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.
10Καὶ ἐγένετο ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάσαις ταῖς βασιλείαις τῆς γῆς κύκλῳ Ἰούδα, καὶ οὐκ ἐπολέμουν πρὸς Ἰωσαφάτ.
11Also 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.
11Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἔφερον τῷ Ἰωσαφὰτ δῶρα καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ δόματα· καὶ οἱ Ἀραβες ἔφερον αὐτῷ κριοὺς προβάτων ἑπτακισχιλίους ἑπτακοσίους.
12¶ And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.
12Καὶ ἦν Ἰωσαφὰτ πορευόμενος μείζων ἕως εἰς ὕψος, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ οἰκήσεις καὶ πόλεις ὀχυράς.
13And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.
13Καὶ ἔργα πολλὰ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ· καὶ ἄνδρες πολεμισταὶ δυνατοὶ ἰσχύοντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
14And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.
14Καὶ οὗτος ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ τῷ Ἰούδα χιλίαρχοι, Ἔδνας ὁ ἄρχων, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ υἱοὶ δυνατοὶ δυνάμεως τριακόσιαι χιλιάδες·
15And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.
15Καὶ μετʼ αὐτὸν, Ἰωανὰν ὁ ἡγούμενος, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ διακόσιαι ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδες·
16And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD ; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
16Καὶ μετʼ αὐτὸν Ἀμασίας ὁ τοῦ Ζαρὶ, ὁ προθυμούμενος τῷ κυρίῳ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ διακόσιαι χιλιάδες δυνατοὶ δυνάμεως.
17And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
17Καὶ ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμὶν δυνατὸς δυνάμεως καὶ Ἐλιαδὰ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ τοξόται καὶ πελτασταὶ διακόσιαι χιλιάδες·
18And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.
18Καὶ μετʼ αὐτὸν Ἰωζαβὰδ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα χιλιάδες δυνατοὶ πολέμου.
19These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
19Οὗτοι οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἐκτὸς ὧν ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι ταῖς ὀχυραῖς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ.
