2 Chronicles 17

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 When his son Jehoshaphat succeeded him, he made himself stronger against Israel	1 και εβασιλευσεν ιωσαφατ υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου και κατισχυσεν ιωσαφατ επι τον ισραηλ
2 by stationing troops in al the fortified towns in Judah and by garrisoning Judah and the towns ofEphraim which his father Asa had captured.	2 και εδωκεν δυναμιν εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν ιουδα ταις οχυραις και κατεστησεν ηγουμενους εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν ιουδα και εν πολεσιν εφραιμ ας προκατελαβετο ασα ο πατηρ αυτου
3 Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat because he fol owed the example of his father's earlier days and didnot have recourse to Baal,	3 και εγενετο κυριος μετα ιωσαφατ οτι επορευθη εν οδοις του πατρος αυτου ταις πρωταις και ουκ εξεζητησεν τα ειδωλα
4 but sought Yahweh, the God of his father, fol owing his commandments and not behaving as Israeldid.	4 αλλα κυριον τον θεον του πατρος αυτου εξεζητησεν και εν ταις εντολαις του πατρος αυτου επορευθη και ουχ ως του ισραηλ τα εργα
5 Because of this, Yahweh put him in secure control of the kingdom, while al Judah gave Jehoshaphatpresents until ample riches and honour were his.	5 και κατηυθυνεν κυριος την βασιλειαν εν χειρι αυτου και εδωκεν πας ιουδα δωρα τω ιωσαφατ και εγενετο αυτω πλουτος και δοξα πολλη
6 He was so enthusiastic about obeying Yahweh that once again he abolished the high places andsacred poles in Judah.	6 και υψωθη καρδια αυτου εν οδω κυριου και ετι εξηρεν τα υψηλα και τα αλση απο της γης ιουδα
7 In the third year of his reign he sent his leading men-Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel andMicaiah, to give instruction in the towns of Judah.	7 και εν τω τριτω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου απεστειλεν τους ηγουμενους αυτου και τους υιους των δυνατων τον αβδιαν και ζαχαριαν και ναθαναηλ και μιχαιαν διδασκειν εν πολεσιν ιουδα
8 With them went the Levites: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan,Adonijah and Tobijah, the Levites; Elishama and Jehoram the priests went with them.	8 και μετ' αυτων οι λευιται σαμουιας και ναθανιας και ζαβδιας και ασιηλ και σεμιραμωθ και ιωναθαν και αδωνιας και τωβιας οι λευιται και μετ' αυτων ελισαμα και ιωραμ οι ιερεις
9 They gave instruction in Judah, having with them the book of the Law of Yahweh, and went round althe towns of Judah instructing the people.	9 και εδιδασκον εν ιουδα και μετ' αυτων βυβλος νομου κυριου και διηλθον εν ταις πολεσιν ιουδα και εδιδασκον τον λαον
10 A panic from Yahweh seized all the kings of the countries surrounding Judah, as a result of whichthey did not make war on Jehoshaphat.	10 και εγενετο εκστασις κυριου επι πασαις ταις βασιλειαις της γης ταις κυκλω ιουδα και ουκ επολεμουν προς ιωσαφατ
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and a load of silver and the Arabs brought himseven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.	11 και απο των αλλοφυλων εφερον τω ιωσαφατ δωρα και αργυριον και δοματα και οι αραβες εφερον αυτω κριους προβατων επτακισχιλιους επτακοσιους
12 Jehoshaphat became more and more powerful. He built fortresses and storage towns in Judah.	12 και ην ιωσαφατ πορευομενος μειζων εως εις υψος και ωκοδομησεν οικησεις εν τη ιουδαια και πολεις οχυρας
13 He accumulated ample supplies in the towns of Judah. He also had warriors, outstanding men, inJerusalem.	13 και εργα πολλα εγενετο αυτω εν τη ιουδαια και ανδρες πολεμισται δυνατοι ισχυοντες εν ιερουσαλημ
14 According to family, this is how they were classified: Over the commanders of the thousands ofJudah was General Adnah, who had three hundred thousand outstanding men;	14 και ουτος αριθμος αυτων κατ' οικους πατριων αυτων τω ιουδα χιλιαρχοι εδνας ο αρχων και μετ' αυτου υιοι δυνατοι δυναμεως τριακοσιαι χιλιαδες
15 Under him was General Jehohanan, who had two hundred and eighty thousand;	15 και μετ' αυτον ιωαναν ο ηγουμενος και μετ' αυτου διακοσιαι ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδες
16 Under him was Amasiah son of Zichri, who had volunteered for Yahweh and who had two hundredthousand outstanding men;	16 και μετ' αυτον αμασιας ο του ζαχρι ο προθυμουμενος τω κυριω και μετ' αυτου διακοσιαι χιλιαδες δυνατοι δυναμεως
17 That outstanding soldier, Eliada, represented Benjamin, and he had two hundred thousand menarmed with bow and shield;	17 και εκ του βενιαμιν δυνατος δυναμεως ελιαδα και μετ' αυτου τοξοται και πελτασται διακοσιαι χιλιαδες
18 And under him Jehozabad, who had one hundred and eighty thousand equipped for war.	18 και μετ' αυτον ιωζαβαδ και μετ' αυτου εκατον ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδες δυνατοι πολεμου
19 These were in attendance on the king, apart from those whom the king had stationed in the fortifiedtowns al over Judah.	19 ουτοι οι λειτουργουντες τω βασιλει εκτος ων εδωκεν ο βασιλευς εν ταις πολεσιν ταις οχυραις εν παση τη ιουδαια
