2 Chronicles 17:10-19

10 itaque factus est pavor Domini super omnia regna terrarum quae erant per gyrum Iuda nec audebant bellare contra Iosaphat

11 sed et Philisthei Iosaphat munera deferebant et vectigal argenti Arabes quoque adducebant pecora arietum septem milia septingentos et hircos totidem

12 crevit ergo Iosaphat et magnificatus est usque in sublime atque aedificavit in Iuda domos ad instar turrium urbesque muratas

13 et multa opera patravit in urbibus Iuda viri quoque bellatores et robusti erant in Hierusalem

14 quorum iste numerus per domos atque familias singulorum in Iuda principes exercitus Ednas dux et cum eo robustissimorum trecenta milia

15 post hunc Iohanan princeps et cum eo ducenta octoginta milia

16 post istum quoque Amasias filius Zechri consecratus Domino et cum eo ducenta milia virorum fortium

17 hunc sequebatur robustus ad proelia Heliada et cum eo tenentium arcum et clypeum ducenta milia

18 post istum etiam Iozabath et cum eo centum octoginta milia expeditorum militum

19 hii omnes erant ad manum regis exceptis aliis quos posuerat in urbibus muratis et in universo Iuda
