2 Chronicles 17:2 In-Context

1 regnavit autem Iosaphat filius eius pro eo et invaluit contra Israhel

2 constituitque militum numeros in cunctis urbibus Iudae quae erant vallatae muris praesidiaque disposuit in terra Iuda et in civitatibus Ephraim quas ceperat Asa pater eius

3 et fuit Dominus cum Iosaphat quia ambulavit in viis David patris sui primis et non speravit in Baalim

4 sed in Deo patris sui et perrexit in praeceptis illius et non iuxta peccata Israhel

5 confirmavitque Dominus regnum in manu eius et dedit omnis Iuda munera Iosaphat factaeque sunt ei infinitae divitiae et multa gloria
