17:7 他作王第三年,就差遣臣子便亥伊勒、俄巴底、撒迦利雅、拿坦業、米該亞往猶大各城去教訓百姓。
17:8 同著他們有利未人示瑪雅、尼探雅、西巴第雅、亞撒黑、示米拉末、約拿單、亞多尼雅、多比雅、駝巴多尼雅,又有祭司以利沙瑪、約蘭同著他們。
17:9 他們帶著耶和華的律法書,走遍猶大各城教訓百姓。
7 In the third year of his reign he sent his officials Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel and Micaiah to teach in the towns of Judah. 8 With them were certain Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah and Tob-Adonijah—and the priests Elishama and Jehoram. 9 They taught throughout Judah, taking with them the Book of the Law of the Lord; they went around to all the towns of Judah and taught the people.

亞撒的兒子約沙法不僅有硬體的措施,也有軟體的措施,就是差遣臣子們和利未人帶著耶和華的律法書,走遍猶大各城教訓百姓。
這是一個重要的措施,上帝的律法書就是指《摩西五經》,是整個舊約聖經的基礎,教訓人民的目的,就是要人民清楚上帝的命令而遵行,這是上帝的子民重要的記號。
當然遵行上帝的律法不只是猶大和以色列人該有的記號,更是今日屬上帝的子民該有的記號,雖然不是靠行律法得救,但是行律法是活出上帝兒女生命所必須的,是為了記念上帝的拯救,所必須有的表現。
