11 And the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and tribute of silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred he goats.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
13 And he had many works in the cities of Judah and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.
14 And these are the numbers of them according to the houses of their fathers: In Judah, princes of thousands; the prince Adnah and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valour;
15 and after him, Prince Jehohanan and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
16 after him, Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour;
17 of Benjamin, Eliada, a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
18 after him, Jehozabad and with him one hundred and eighty thousand ready and prepared for the war.
19 These were servants of the king, besides those whom the king had put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
