¹And Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

²And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and set garrisons in the land of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and in the cities of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] , which Asa [healer; injurious?] his father had taken.

³And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was with Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] , because he walked in the first ways of his father David [beloved] , and sought not unto Ba’alim [lords (false gods)] ;

⁴But sought to the [Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

⁵Therefore the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) established the kingdom in his hand; and all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] brought to Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.

⁶And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) : moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] .

⁷Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, [even] to Ben-Chayil [son of strength] , and to ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah] , and to Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] , and to N’tan’el [God’s Gift] , and to Mikhayah [who is like God?] , to teach in the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] .

⁸And with them [he sent] Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] , [even] Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] , and N’tanyah [given of Yehovah] , and Z’vadyah [endowment of Yehovah] , and ‘Asah’el [God-made] , and Sh’miramot [name of heights] , and Y’honatan [Yehovah has given] , and Adoniyah [my lord is Yehovah] , and Toviyah [Yehovah is good] , and Tobadonijah, Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] ; and with them Elishama [My God has Heard] and Y’horam [Yehovah is exalted] , priests.

⁹And they taught in Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and [had] the book of the law of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and taught the people.

¹⁰And the fear of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that [were] round about Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , so that they made no war against Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] .

¹¹Also [some] of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] brought Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.

¹²And Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] castles, and cities of store.

¹³And he had much business in the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] : and the men of war, mighty men of valour, [were] in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] .

¹⁴And these [are] the of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , the captains of thousands; ‘Adnach [pleasure] the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.

¹⁵And next to him [was] Y’hochanan [Yehovah has graced] the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.

¹⁶And next him [was] ‘Amasyah [Yehovah is strength] the son of Zikhri [Illustrious] , who willingly offered himself unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) ; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.

¹⁷And of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] ; El-yada [God knows] a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.

¹⁸And next him [was] Y’hozavad [Yehovah has endowed] , and with him an hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for the war.

¹⁹These waited on the king, beside [those] whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] .
