2Chronicles 17 - Listen
1 And Jehoshaphat
his son
reigned
in his stead, and strengthened
himself against 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.
3 And the LORD
was with Jehoshaphat,
because he walked
in the first
ways
of his father
David,
and sought
not unto Baalim;
4 But sought
to the LORD God
of his father,
and walked
in his commandments,
and not after the doings
of 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.
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.
7 Also in the third
year
of his reign
he sent
to his princes,
even to Benhail,
and to Obadiah,
and to Zechariah,
and to Nethaneel,
and to Michaiah,
to teach
in the cities
of Judah.
8 And with them he sent Levites,
even Shemaiah,
and Nethaniah,
and Zebadiah,
and Asahel,
and Shemiramoth,
and Jehonathan,
and Adonijah,
and Tobijah,
and Tobadonijah,
Levites;
and with them Elishama
and Jehoram,
priests.
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.
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.
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.
12 And Jehoshaphat
waxed
great
exceedingly;
and he built
in Judah
castles,
and cities
of store.
13 And he had much
business
in the cities
of Judah:
and the men
of war,
mighty men
of valour,
were in 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.
15 And next
to him was Jehohanan
the captain,
and with him two hundred
and fourscore
thousand.
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.
17 And of Benjamin;
Eliada
a mighty man
of valour,
and with him armed men
with bow
and shield
two hundred
thousand.
18 And next
him was Jehozabad,
and with him an hundred
and fourscore
thousand
ready prepared
for the war.
19 These waited
on the king,
beside those whom the king
put
in the fenced
cities
throughout all Judah.

Malachi 4 - Listen
1 For, behold, the day
cometh,
that shall burn
as an oven;
and all the proud,
yea, and all that do
wickedly,
shall be stubble:
and the day
that cometh
shall burn them up,
saith
the LORD
of hosts,
that it shall leave
them neither root
nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear
my name
shall the Sun
of righteousness
arise
with healing
in his wings;
and ye shall go forth,
and grow up
as calves
of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down
the wicked;
for they shall be ashes
under the soles
of your feet
in the day
that I shall do
this, saith
the LORD
of hosts.
4 Remember
ye the law
of Moses
my servant,
which I commanded
unto him in Horeb
for all Israel,
with the statutes
and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send
you Elijah
the prophet
before
the coming
of the great
and dreadful
day
of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn
the heart
of the fathers
to the children,
and the heart
of the children
to their fathers,
lest I come
and smite
the earth
with a curse.
