17:10 Yehoshafat’s rise

Southern kingdom

10 All the surrounding kingdoms were afraid of Yahweh, so they didn’t attack Yehoshafat (Jehoshaphat). 11 Some of the Pelishtim brought tribute to Yehoshafat, including lots of silver. Also, the Aravim brought him flocks totalling 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats. 12 So Yehoshafat continued to become more powerful, and he built palaces in Yehudah (Judah), as well as storehouses in the cities. 13 He accumulated many supplies in Yehudah’s cities.

He also had many powerful warriors in Yerushalem (Jerusalem). 14 These are the leaders and numbers from each tribe:

From the tribe of Yehudah, Adnah was the commander, and he had three-hundred thousand warriors,
15 His assistant Yehohanan commanded 280,000,
16 Next was Zikri’s son Amasyah, who volunteered for Yahweh and commanded two-hundred thousand warriors.
17 From the tribe of Benyamin, Elyada led two-hundred thousand men equipped with bows and shields,
18 next to him was Yehozavad with 180,000 equipped for war.

19 Those were the ones who served the king, along with the ones the king had placed in Yehudah’s (Judah’s) fortified cities.
