2 Chronicles 17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened
himself against Israel.
2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons
in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father
had taken.
3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways
of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
4 But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments,
and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought
to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took
away the high places and groves out of Judah.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail,
and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to
teach in the cities of Judah.
8 And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah,
and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah,
and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.
9 And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with
them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the
people.
10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that
were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11 Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute
silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred
rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles,
and cities of store.
13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war,
mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.
14 And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers:
Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty
men of valour three hundred thousand.
15 And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and
fourscore thousand.
16 And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself
unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
Acts 21:11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound
his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the
Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver
him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought
him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for
I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name
of the Lord Jesus.
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the
Lord be done.
