1 En lugar de Asá reinó su hijo Josafat, el cual se fortificó contra Israel. 2 Estableció bases militares en todas las ciudades amuralladas de Judá y situó guarniciones en todo el país, y en las ciudades de Efraín, que su padre Asá había conquistado. 3 El Señor estaba con Josafat, porque seguía en la buena senda en que su padre anduvo al principio, y no adoraba las imágenes de Baal. 4 Al contrario, adoró al Dios de su padre, estuvo dispuesto a obedecer los mandamientos de la ley de Dios, y no imitó la conducta de los reyes israelitas. 5 Por eso, el Señor lo ayudó, de modo que pudo gobernar con firmeza a Judá. El pueblo de Judá lo quería mucho y le daba regalos. Así que Josafat llegó a tener mucha riqueza, y a disfrutar de popularidad. 6 Seguía con entusiasmo las sendas de Dios, incluso derribó los altares paganos de los cerros y destruyó los ídolos de la diosa Aserá. 7 En el tercer año de su reinado inició un programa de educación en todo el país. Envió a sus funcionarios a enseñar la ley del Señor a la gente de las ciudades de Judá. Entre ellos estaban: Ben Jayil, Abdías, Zacarías, Natanael y Micaías. Para esta misma finalidad hizo uso también del servicio de levitas como Semaías, Netanías, Zebadías, Asael, Semiramot, Jonatán, Adonías, Tobías y Tobadonías; y de sacerdotes como Elisama y Jorán. Llevaron copias del libro de la ley del Señor a todas las ciudades de Judá, para enseñar las Escrituras al pueblo. 10 Y el temor del Señor sobrecogió a los reinos circunvecinos, de tal manera que ninguno de ellos se atrevía a declararle la guerra al rey Josafat. 11 Aun algunos de los filisteos le traían obsequios y tributo anual; y los árabes le trajeron siete mil setecientos carneros y siete mil setecientos chivos. 12 Y Josafat se hizo poderoso, y construyó, a lo largo de Judá, fortalezas y ciudades para almacenar alimentos. 13 Su programa de obras públicas era extenso, y tenía muchos hombres de guerra en Jerusalén, que era su capital. 14 Trescientos mil soldados de Judá se encontraban bajo el mando del Adnás. Le seguía en mando Johanán, quien estaba al frente de doscientos ochenta mil. 16 Luego estaba Amasías hijo de Zicrí, que estaba al frente de doscientos mil. Amasías se había ofrecido para servir voluntariamente al Señor. 17 La tribu de Benjamín hizo un aporte de doscientos mil hombres equipados con arcos y escudos, los cuales estaban bajo el mando del valeroso general Eliadá. 18 Jozabad estaba bajo sus órdenes con ciento ochenta mil soldados adiestrados para la guerra. 19 Estas eran las tropas destacadas en Jerusalén, aparte de las que estaban destacadas en las ciudades fortificadas en toda la nación.
