WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Su hijo Josafat reinó en su lugar y se fortaleció contra Israel.
1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 Puso tropas en todas las ciudades fortificadas de Judá, y jefes en el territorio de Judá y en las ciudades de Efraín que su padre Asa había conquistado.
2 He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
3 El Señor estaba con Josafat porque siguió el ejemplo de los primeros años de su padre y no buscó a los baales.
3 Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,
4 Buscó al Dios de su padre y cumplió sus mandamientos, sin seguir las prácticas de Israel.
4 but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel.
5 El Señor afirmó su reino. Todo Judá llevaba regalos a Josafat, que llegó a tener muchas riquezas y honor.
5 Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6 Josafat seguía los caminos del Señor con ánimo firme. Incluso quitó de Judá los santuarios en los lugares altos y los postes de Asera.
6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh. Furthermore, he took away the high places and the Asherah poles out of Judah.
7 En el tercer año de su reinado envió a sus jefes Ben-hail, Abdías, Zacarías, Natanael y Micaías para enseñar en las ciudades de Judá.

9 They taught in Judah, having the book of Yahweh’s law with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
10 El temor del Señor cayó sobre todos los reinos vecinos de Judá, y no hicieron guerra contra Josafat.
10 The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
11 Algunos filisteos le llevaban regalos y le pagaban plata. Los árabes le llevaban rebaños: siete mil setecientas ovejas y siete mil setecientos machos cabríos.
11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks: seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.
