^K23a/C11And, behold, the rest of all the acts of Asa, first and last, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel [and] in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. ^K23b/C12aNevertheless in the time of his old age Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, ^C12buntil his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to YHVH, but to the physicians. ^K24a/C13And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. ^K24bAnd they buried him with his fathers in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David his father, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries’ art: and they made a very great burning for him. ^K24c/C1aAnd Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, ^C1b and strengthened himself against Israel.

^K41/C31aAnd Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. ^K42/C31bJehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. ^K43a/C32And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside [nor] departed from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of YHVH. ^K43b/C32: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers [and] the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.

²And 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. ³And YHVH was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim; ⁴But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. ⁵Therefore YHVH stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance. ⁶And his heart was lifted up in the ways of YHVH: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah. ⁷Also 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. ⁸And 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. ⁹And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of YHVH with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people. ¹⁰And the fear of YHVH fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. ¹¹Also 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. ¹²And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store. ¹³And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem. ¹⁴And 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. ¹⁵And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand. ¹⁶And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto YHVH; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour. ¹⁷And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand. ¹⁸And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war. ¹⁹These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
