2 Chronicles 17:12

And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly
In wealth and riches, power and authority, in his forces and fortifications:

2 Chronicles 17:12 In-Context

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
