KJV King James Version (with Apocrypha)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
1 Y REINÓ en su lugar Josaphat su hijo, el cual prevaleció contra Israel.
2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities 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 walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
3 Y fué Jehová con Josaphat, porque anduvo en los primeros caminos de David su padre, y no buscó á los Baales;
4 But sought to the [ Lord] God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
4 Sino que buscó al Dios de su padre, y anduvo en sus mandamientos, y no según las obras de Israel.
5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
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 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
6 Y animóse su corazón en los caminos de Jehová, y quitó los altos y los bosques de Judá.
7 ¶ Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, [even] to Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities 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 [he sent] Levites, [even] Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, 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 taught in Judah, and [had] the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught 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 fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that [were] round about Judah, so that they made no war 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 Also [some] of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and 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 ¶ And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.
12 Iba pues Josaphat creciendo altamente: y edificó en Judá fortalezas y ciudades de depósitos.
13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, [were] in Jerusalem.
13 Tuvo además muchas obras en las ciudades de Judá, y hombres de guerra muy valientes en Jerusalem.
14 And these [are] the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.
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 And next to him [was] Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.
15 Después de él, el jefe Johanán, y con él doscientos y ochenta mil;
16 And next him [was] Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour.
16 Tras éste, Amasías hijo de Zichri, el cual se había ofrecido voluntariamente á Jehová, y con él doscientos mil hombres valientes;
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
17 De Benjamín, Eliada, hombre muy valeroso, y con él doscientos mil armados de arco y escudo;
18 And next him [was] Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.
18 Tras éste, Jozabad, y con él ciento y ochenta mil apercibidos para la guerra.
19 These waited on the king, beside [those] whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
19 Estos eran siervos del rey, sin los que había el rey puesto en las ciudades de guarnición por toda Judea.
