Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat a large amount of silver and other gifts, and some Arabs brought him 7,700 sheep and 7,700 goats.
12
So Jehoshaphat continued to grow more and more powerful. Throughout Judah he built fortifications and cities,
13
where supplies were stored in huge amounts. In Jerusalem he stationed outstanding officers,
14
according to their clans. Adnah was the commander of the troops from the clans of Judah, and he had 300,000 soldiers under him.
15
Second in rank was Jehohanan, with 280,000 soldiers,
16
and third was Amasiah son of Zichri, with 200,000. (Amasiah had volunteered to serve the Lord.)
17
The commander of the troops from the clans of Benjamin was Eliada, an outstanding soldier, in command of 200,000 men armed with shields and bows.
18
His second in command was Jehozabad with 180,000 men, well-equipped for battle.

These soldiers served the king in Jerusalem, and in addition he stationed others in the other fortified cities of Judah.
