1. Jehosh'aphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2. Constituitque militum numeros in cunctis urbibus Iudae, quae erant vallatae muris; praesidiaque disposuit in terra Iudae et in civitatibus Ephraim, quas ceperat Asa pater eius.
2. He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of E'phraim which Asa his father had taken.
3. Et fuit Dominus cum Iosaphat, quia ambulavit in viis patris sui primis et non speravit in Baalim
3. The LORD was with Jehosh'aphat, because he walked in the earlier ways of his father; he did not seek the Ba'als,
4. sed in Deo patris sui et perrexit in praeceptis illius et non iuxta peccata Israel.
4. but sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments, and not according to the ways of Israel.
5. Confirmavitque Dominus regnum in manu eius, et dedit omnis Iuda munera Iosaphat; factaeque sunt ei infinitae divitiae et multa gloria.
5. Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought tribute to Jehosh'aphat; and he had great riches and honor.
6. Cumque sumpsisset cor eius audaciam propter vias Domini, etiam excelsa et palos de Iuda abstulit.
6. His heart was courageous in the ways of the LORD; and furthermore he took the high places and the Ashe'rim out of Judah.
7. Tertio autem anno regni sui misit principes suos Benhail et Abdiam et Zachariam et Nathanael et Michaiam, ut docerent in civitatibus Iudae,
7. In the third year of his reign he sent his princes, Ben-hail, Obadi'ah, Zechari'ah, Nethan'el, and Micai'ah, to teach in the cities of Judah;

8. and with them the Levites, Shemai'ah, Nethani'ah, Zebadi'ah, As'ahel, Shemi'ramoth, Jehon'athan, Adoni'jah, Tobi'jah, and Tobadoni'jah; and with these Levites, the priests Eli'shama and Jeho'ram.
9. Docebantque in Iuda habentes librum legis Domini et circuibant cunctas urbes Iudae atque erudiebant populum.
9. And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them; they went about through all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
10. Itaque factus est pavor Domini super omnia regna terrarum, quae erant per gyrum Iudae, nec audebant bellare contra Iosaphat.
10. And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, and they made no war against Jehosh'aphat.
11. Sed et de Philisthim Iosaphat munera deferebant et vectigal argenti; Arabes quoque adducebant pecora arietum septem milia septingenta et hircos totidem.
11. Some of the Philistines brought Jehosh'aphat presents, and silver for tribute; and the Arabs also brought him seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.
