| 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. | 2Ch 11:11 2Ch 11:12 |
| 3 | Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn`t seek the Baals, | 2Ch 15:2 2Ch 15:9 Gn 39:2 Gn 39:3 Gn 39:21 Ex 3:12 Ex 4:12 Jsh 1:5 Jsh 1:9 Jg 2:18 Jg 6:12 2Sa 5:10 1Ch 22:18 Ps 46:7 Ps 46:11 Isa 8:10 Isa 41:10 Mt 1:23 Mt 18:20 Mt 28:20 2Ti 4:22 |
| 4 | but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. | Lk 1:6 1Th 2:12 1Th 4:1 |

| 9 | They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Yahweh with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people. | 2Ch 35:3 Ne 8:7 |
| 10 | The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. | 2Ch 14:14 Gn 35:5 Ex 15:14-16 Jsh 2:9-11 |
| 11 | Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats. | 2Ch 17:5 2Ch 9:14 2Ch 26:8 2Sa 8:2 2Ki 3:4 |
| 12 | Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store. | 2Ch 18:1 1Ch 29:25 |
| 13 | He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem. | 2Ch 26:10-15 1Ch 27:25-31 |

| 15 | and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand; |
| 16 | and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Yahweh; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor. | Jg 5:2 Jg 5:9 1Ch 29:9 1Ch 29:14 1Ch 29:17 Ps 110:3 2Co 8:3-5 2Co 8:12-5 |
| 17 | Of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield; | 2Ch 14:8 2Sa 1:21 2Sa 1:22 |
| 18 | and next to him Jehozabad and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready prepared for war. |
| 19 | These were those who waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah. | 2Ch 17:2 2Ch 17:12 2Ch 11:12 2Ch 11:23 |
