BBE Bible in Basic English
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.
1 Y REINÓ en su lugar Josaphat su hijo, el cual prevaleció contra Israel.
2 He put forces in all the walled towns of Judah, and responsible chiefs in the land of Judah and in the towns of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
2 Y puso ejército en todas las ciudades fuertes de Judá, y colocó gente de guarnición, en tierra de Judá, y asimismo en las ciudades de Ephraim que su padre Asa había tomado.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,
3 Y fué Jehová con Josaphat, porque anduvo en los primeros caminos de David su padre, y no buscó á los Baales;
4 But turning to the God of his father and keeping his laws, and not doing as Israel did.
4 Sino que buscó al Dios de su padre, y anduvo en sus mandamientos, y no según las obras de Israel.
5 So the Lord made his kingdom strong; and all Judah gave offerings to Jehoshaphat, and he had great wealth and honour.
5 Jehová por tanto confirmó el reino en su mano, y todo Judá dió á Josaphat presentes; y tuvo riquezas y gloria en abundancia.
6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord; and he went so far as to take away the high places and the wood pillars out of Judah.
6 Y animóse su corazón en los caminos de Jehová, y quitó los altos y los bosques de Judá.
7 In the third year of his rule he sent Benhail and Obadiah and Zechariah and Nethanel and Micaiah, his captains, as teachers into the towns of Judah;
7 Al tercer año de su reinado envió sus príncipes Ben-hail, Obdías, Zachârías, Nathaniel y Michêas, para que enseñasen en las ciudades de Judá;
8 And with them, Shemaiah and Nethaniah and Zebadiah and Asahel and Shemiramoth and Jehonathan and Adonijah and Tobijah and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and Elishama and Jehoram the priests.
8 Y con ellos á los Levitas, Semeías, Nethanías, Zebadías, y Asael, y Semiramoth, y Jonathán, y Adonías, y Tobías, y Tobadonías, Levitas; y con ellos á Elisama y á Joram, sacerdotes.
9 And they gave teaching in Judah and had the book of the law of the Lord with them; they went through all the towns of Judah teaching the people.
9 Y enseñaron en Judá, teniendo consigo el libro de la ley de Jehová, y rodearon por todas las ciudades de Judá enseñando al pueblo.
10 And the fear of the Lord was on all the kingdoms of the lands round Judah, so that they made no wars against Jehoshaphat.
10 Y cayó el pavor de Jehová sobre todos los reinos de las tierras que estaban alrededor de Judá; que no osaron hacer guerra contra Josaphat.
11 And some of the Philistines took offerings to Jehoshaphat, and made him payments of silver; and the Arabians gave him flocks, seven thousand, seven hundred sheep, and seven thousand, seven hundred he-goats.
11 Y traían de los Filisteos presentes á Josaphat, y tributos de plata. Los Arabes también le trajeron ganados, siete mil y setecientos carneros y siete mil y setecientos machos de cabrío.
12 Jehoshaphat became greater and greater, and made strong towers and store-towns in Judah.
12 Iba pues Josaphat creciendo altamente: y edificó en Judá fortalezas y ciudades de depósitos.
13 He had much property in the towns of Judah; he had forces of armed men, great and strong, in Jerusalem.
13 Tuvo además muchas obras en las ciudades de Judá, y hombres de guerra muy valientes en Jerusalem.
14 This is the number of them, listed by their families, the captains of thousands of Judah: Adnah, the captain, and with him three hundred thousand men of war;
14 Y este es el número de ellos según las casas de sus padres: en Judá, jefes de los millares: el general Adna, y con él trescientos mil hombres muy esforzados;
15 Second to him Jehohanan, the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
15 Después de él, el jefe Johanán, y con él doscientos y ochenta mil;
16 After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;
16 Tras éste, Amasías hijo de Zichri, el cual se había ofrecido voluntariamente á Jehová, y con él doscientos mil hombres valientes;
17 And the captains of Benjamin: Eliada, a great man of war, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bows and body-covers;
17 De Benjamín, Eliada, hombre muy valeroso, y con él doscientos mil armados de arco y escudo;
18 And after him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand trained for war.
18 Tras éste, Jozabad, y con él ciento y ochenta mil apercibidos para la guerra.
19 These were the men who were waiting on the king, in addition to those placed by the king in the walled towns through all Judah.
19 Estos eran siervos del rey, sin los que había el rey puesto en las ciudades de guarnición por toda Judea.
