Military Might and Organization

2 Chronicles 17:12-19

So Y'hoshafat grew increasingly powerful. In Y'hudah he built fortresses and storage cities.

He had many projects in the cities of Y'hudah; and in Yerushalayim he had warriors, strong brave men.

Here is a listing of them by clans: from Y'hudah, the captains of thousands: 'Adnah the leader, and with him 300,000 strong, brave men;

next to him Y'hochanan the leader, and with him 280,000;

next to him 'Amasyah the son of Zikhri, who volunteered to serve ADONAI, and with him 200,000 strong, brave men.

From Binyamin: Elyada, a strong, brave man, and with him 200,000 equipped with bows and shields;

next to him Y'hozavad, and with him 180,000 prepared for war.

These served the king, in addition to those the king assigned to the fortified cities throughout all Y'hudah.
