[17:10] The Lord made all the surrounding kingdoms afraid to go to war against King Jehoshaphat.
[17:11] Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat a large amount of silver and other gifts, and some Arabs brought him 7,700 sheep and 7,700 goats.
[17:12] So Jehoshaphat continued to grow more and more powerful. Throughout Judah he built fortifications and cities,
[17:13] where supplies were stored in huge amounts. In Jerusalem he stationed outstanding officers,
[17:14] according to their clans. Adnah was the commander of the troops from the clans of Judah, and he had 300,000 soldiers under him.
[17:15] Second in rank was Jehohanan, with 280,000 soldiers,
[17:16] and third was Amasiah son of Zichri, with 200,000. (Amasiah had volunteered to serve the Lord.)
[17:17] The commander of the troops from the clans of Benjamin was Eliada, an outstanding soldier, in command of 200,000 men armed with shields and bows.
[17:18] His second in command was Jehozabad with 180,000 men, well-equipped for battle.
[17:19] These soldiers served the king in Jerusalem, and in addition he stationed others in the other fortified cities of Judah.
