The Arabs brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats from their flocks. Jehoshaphat’s power kept increasing. He built fortresses and storage cities throughout Judah. He had many supplies stored in the cities of Judah and an army of skilled warriors stationed in Jerusalem. These were their divisions by families: There were a thousand officers from Judah. Adnah the commander led 300,000 skilled warriors, Jehochanan the commander led 280,000. and Amasiah son of Zikri, who volunteered to serve the LORD, led 200,000 skilled warriors.

The Philistines also brought presents to Josaphat, and tribute in silver, and the Arabians brought him cattle, seven thousand seven hundred rams, and as many he goats. And Josaphat grew, and became exceeding great: and he built in Juda houses like towers, and walled cities.
