2 Chronicles 17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.	1 ܘܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܒܪܗ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܐܬܥܫܢ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
2 He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had taken.	2 ܘܐܫܠܛ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܝ ܚܝܠܐ ܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܥܫܝ̈ܢܬܐ ܘܐܩܝܡ ܫܠܝ̈ܛܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܦܪܝܡ ܕܐܚܕ ܐܣܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ
3 The LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the earlier ways of his father; he did not seek the Baals,	3 ܘܗܘܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܡ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܠܟ ܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܩܕܡܝ̈ܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܨܠܝ ܠܨܠܡ̈ܐ
4 but sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments, and not according to the ways of Israel.	4 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܨܠܝ ܘܒܦܘܩܕ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܗܠܟ ܘܢܡܘܣ̈ܘܗܝ ܢܛܪ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܝܟ ܥ̇ܒ̈ܕܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat; and he had great riches and honor.	5 ܘܐܬܩܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܝܗܒܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܐ ܠܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܘܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܘܐܝܩܪܐ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܛܒ
6 His heart was courageous in the ways of the LORD; and furthermore he took the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.	6 ܘܐܬܚܝܠ ܠܒܗ ܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܬܘܒ ܥܩܪ ܡܕܒ̈ܚܐ ܘܥܠܘ̈ܬܐ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ
7 In the third year of his reign he sent his princes, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;	7 ܘܒܫܢܬ ܬܠܬ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܫܕܪ ܩܪܐ ܠܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܪ̈ܒܝ ܚܝܠܐ ܠܥܘܒܕܝܐ ܘܠܙܟܪܝܐ ܘܠܡܬܢܐܝܠ ܘܠܡܠܟܝܐ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ
8 and with them the Levites, Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah; and with these Levites, the priests Elishama and Jehoram.	8 ܘܥܡܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘ̈ܝܐ ܫܡܥܝܐ ܡܬܢܝܐ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܥܫܐܝܠ ܢܛܘܪܐ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܐܕܘܢܝܐ ܛܘܒܝܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܠܘ̈ܝܐ ܘܥܡܗܘܢ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܝܫܡܥ ܘܝܗܘܪܡ ܟܗ̈ܢܐ
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.	9 ܘܡܠܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܟܠܗ̇ ܘܥܡܗܘܢ ܗܘܐ ܣ̣ܦܪܐ ܕܢܡܘܣܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܬܟܪܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܡܠܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܥܡܐ
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 Jehoshaphat.	10 ܘܗܘܬ ܕܚܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܠܟܘ̈ܬܐ ܕܡܕܝ̈ܢܬܐ ܕܗܘ̈ܝ ܚܕܪ̈ܝ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܟܬܫܘ ܥܡ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; and the Arabs also brought him seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.	11 ܘܡܢ ܡܕܝ̈ܢܬܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܡܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܟܣܦܐ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܐ ܘܟܣܦ ܪܫܐ ܘܐܦ ܥܪ̈ܒܝܐ ܡܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥ̈ܢܐ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ ܘܫܒܥܡܐܐ ܘܬܝ̈ܫܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ ܘܫܒܥܡܐܐ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܚܕܐ
12 And Jehoshaphat grew steadily greater. He built in Judah fortresses and store-cities,	12 ܘܗܘܐ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܐ̇ܙܠ ܘܥ̇ܬܪ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܥܬܪ ܛܒ ܘܒܢܐ ܒܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܝܪ̈ܬܐ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܩܦܣ̈ܐ
13 and he had great stores in the cities of Judah. He had soldiers, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.	13 ܘܥܒܝܕܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܩܪ̈ܒܬܢܐ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܝ ܚܝܠܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
14 This was the muster of them by fathers' houses: Of Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah the commander, with three hundred thousand mighty men of valor,	14 ܘܗܢܐ ܡܢܝܢܗܘܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܒܗ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܐ̈ܠܦܐ ܓܕܝܢܘ ܓܢܒܪܐ ܘܠܗ ܡܫܡܫܝܢ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܝ ܚܝܠܐ ܬܠܬܡܐܐ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ
15 and next to him Jehohanan the commander, with two hundred and eighty thousand,	15 ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܪܒܐ ܘܠܗ ܡܫܡܫܝܢ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܝ ܚܝܠܐ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܘܬܡܢܐܝܢ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ
16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, a volunteer for the service of the LORD, with two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.	16 ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܫܡܥܝ ܒܪ ܙܪܚ ܕܫܦܪ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܡܗ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ ܚܝ̈ܠܬܢܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ
17 Of Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, with two hundred thousand men armed with bow and shield,	17 ܘܡܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܒܢܝܡܝܢ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܝ ܚܝܠܐ ܐܠܝܕܥ ܫܡܗ ܘܠܗ ܡܫܡܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܫܕ̈ܝܝ ܒܩܫܬܐ ܘܐܚܝ̈ܕܝ ܣܟܪ̈ܐ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ
18 and next to him Jehozabad with a hundred and eighty thousand armed for war.	18 ܘܝܗܘܙܒܪ ܓܢܒܪܐ ܘܠܗ ܡܫܡܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܐܐ ܘܬܡܢܐܝܢ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ ܥ̇ܒܕ̈ܝ ܩܪܒܐ
19 These were in the service of the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.	19 ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܫܡܫܝܢ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܣܛܪ ܡܢ ܕܐܫܠܛ ܡܠܟܐ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܬܘܩܦܐ ܒܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ
