2 Chronicles 20:1 It came to pass after this310 also, that the children1121 of Moab,4124 and the children1121 of Ammon,5983 and with them other beside the Ammonites,5984 came935 against Jehoshaphat3092 to battle.44212 Then there came935 some that told5046 Jehoshaphat,3092 saying,559 There cometh935 a great7227 multitude1995 against thee from beyond5676 the sea3220 on this side Syria;758 and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar,2688 which is Engedi.58723 And Jehoshaphat3092 feared,3372 and set5414 himself6440{Heb. his face} to seek1875 the LORD,3068 and proclaimed7121 a fast6685 throughout5921 all Judah.30634 And Judah3063 gathered themselves together,6908 to ask1245help of the LORD:3068 even out of all the cities5892 of Judah3063 they came935 to seek1245 the LORD.3068
2 Chronicles 20:5 And Jehoshaphat3092 stood5975 in the congregation6951 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 before6440 the new2319 court,26916 And said,559 O LORD3068 God430 of our fathers,1art not thou God430 in heaven?8064 and rulest4910not thou over all the kingdoms4467 of the heathen?1471 and in thine hand3027istherenot power3581 and might,1369 so that none is able to withstand3320 thee?
7Art not thou our God,430who{Heb. thou} didst drive out3423 the inhabitants3427 of this land776 before6440 thy people5971 Israel,3478 and gavest5414 it to the seed2233 of Abraham85 thy friend157 for ever?57698 And they dwelt3427 therein, and have built1129 thee a sanctuary4720 therein for thy name,8034 saying,5599 If, when evil7451 cometh935 upon us, as the sword,2719 judgment,8196 or pestilence,1698 or famine,7458 we stand5975 before6440 this house,1004 and in thy presence,6440 (for thy name8034is in this house,)1004 and cry2199 unto thee in our affliction,6869 then thou wilt hear8085 and help.346710 And now, behold, the children1121 of Ammon5983 and Moab4124 and mount2022 Seir,8165 whom thou wouldest not let5414 Israel3478 invade,935 when they came out935 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 but they turned5493 from them, and destroyed8045 them not;
11 Behold, Isay,how they reward1580 us, to come935 to cast us out1644 of thy possession,3425 which thou hast given us to inherit.342312 O our God,430 wilt thou not judge8199 them? for we have no might3581 against6440 this great7227 company1995 that cometh935 against us; neither know3045 we587 what to do:6213 but our eyes5869are upon thee.
13 And all Judah3063 stood5975 before6440 the LORD,3068 with1571 their little ones,2945 their wives,802 and their children.1121
2 Chronicles 20:14 Then upon Jahaziel3166 the son1121 of Zechariah,2148 the son1121 of Benaiah,1141 the son1121 of Jeiel,3273 the son1121 of Mattaniah,4983 a Levite3881 of the sons1121 of Asaph,623 came the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 in the midst8432 of the congregation;695115 And he said,559 Hearken7181 ye, all Judah,3063 and ye inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 and thou king4428 Jehoshaphat,3092 Thus saith559 the LORD3068 unto you, Be not afraid3372 nor dismayed2865 by reason6440 of this great7227 multitude;1995 for the battle4421is not yours, but God's.43016 To morrow4279 go ye down3381 against them: behold, they come up5927 by the cliff4608{Heb. ascent} of Ziz;6732 and ye shall find4672 them at the end5490 of the brook,5158{Or, valley} before6440 the wilderness4057 of Jeruel.338517 Ye shall not need to fight3898 in this2063battle: set3320 yourselves, stand5975 ye still, and see7200 the salvation3444 of the LORD3068 with you, O Judah3063 and Jerusalem:3389 fear3372 not, nor be dismayed;2865 to morrow4279 go out3318 against6440 them: for the LORD3068willbe with you.
18 And Jehoshaphat3092 bowed6915 his head with his face639 to the ground:776 and all Judah3063 and the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 fell5307 before6440 the LORD,3068 worshipping7812 the LORD.306819 And the Levites,3881 of the children1121 of the Kohathites,6956 and of the children1121 of the Korhites,7145 stood up6965 to praise1984 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 with a loud1419 voice6963 on high.4605
2 Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early7925 in the morning,1242 and went forth3318 into the wilderness4057 of Tekoa:8620 and as they went forth,3318 Jehoshaphat3092 stood5975 and said,559 Hear8085 me, O Judah,3063 and ye inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem;3389 Believe539 in the LORD3068 your God,430 so shall ye be established;539 believe539 his prophets,5030 so shall ye prosper.674321 And when he had consulted3289 with the people,5971 he appointed5975 singers7891 unto the LORD,3068 and that should praise1984{Heb. praisers} the beauty1927 of holiness,6944 as they went out3318 before6440 the army,2502 and to say,559 Praise3034 the LORD;3068 for his mercy2617endureth for ever.5769
2 Chronicles 20:22 And when6256 they began2490{Heb. And in the time that they, etc.} to sing7440 and to praise,8416{Heb. in singing and praise} the LORD3068 set5414 ambushments693 against the children1121 of Ammon,5983 Moab,4124 and mount2022 Seir,8165 which were come935 against Judah;3063 and they were smitten.5062{Or, they smote one another}23 For the children1121 of Ammon5983 and Moab4124 stood up5975 against the inhabitants3427 of mount2022 Seir,8165 utterly to slay2763 and destroy8045them: and when they had made an end3615 of the inhabitants3427 of Seir,8165 every one376 helped5826 to destroy4889{Heb. for the destruction} another.745324 And when Judah3063 came935 toward the watch tower47074708 in the wilderness,4057 they looked6437 unto the multitude,1995 and, behold, they were dead bodies6297 fallen5307 to the earth,776 and none escaped.6413{Heb. there was not an escaping}25 And when Jehoshaphat3092 and his people5971 came935 to take away962 the spoil7998 of them, they found4672 among them in abundance7230 both riches7399 with the dead bodies,6297 and precious2532 jewels,3627 which they stripped off5337 for themselves, more than369 they could carry away:4853 and they were three7969 days3117 in gathering962 of the spoil,7998 it was so much.7227
2 Chronicles 20:26 And on the fourth7243 day3117 they assembled6950 themselves in the valley6010 of Berachah;1294{that is, blessing} for there they blessed1288 the LORD:3068 therefore the name8034 of the same place4725 was called,7121 The valley6010 of Berachah,1294 unto this day.311727 Then they returned,7725 every man376 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 and Jehoshaphat3092 in the forefront7218{Heb. head} of them, to go again7725 to Jerusalem3389 with joy;8057 for the LORD3068 had made them to rejoice8055 over their enemies.34128 And they came935 to Jerusalem3389 with psalteries5035 and harps3658 and trumpets2689 unto the house1004 of the LORD.306829 And the fear6343 of God430 was on all the kingdoms4467 of those countries,776 when they had heard8085 that the LORD3068 fought3898 against the enemies341 of Israel.347830 So the realm4438 of Jehoshaphat3092 was quiet:8252 for his God430 gave him rest5117 round about.5439
2 Chronicles 20:31 And Jehoshaphat3092 reigned4427 over Judah:3063hewas thirty7970 and five2568 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign,4427 and he reigned4427 twenty6242 and five2568 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389 And his mother's517 name8034was Azubah5806 the daughter1323 of Shilhi.797732 And he walked3212 in the way1870 of Asa609 his father,1 and departed5493 not from it, doing6213thatwhichwas right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD.306833 Howbeit the high places1116 were not taken away:5493 for as yet the people5971 had not prepared3559 their hearts3824 unto the God430 of their fathers.134 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jehoshaphat,3092 first7223 and last,314 behold, they are written3789 in the book1697{Heb. words} of Jehu3058 the son1121 of Hanani,2607 who is mentioned5927{Heb. was made to ascend} in the book5612 of the kings4428 of Israel.3478
2 Chronicles 20:35 And after310 this did Jehoshaphat3092 king4428 of Judah3063 join2266 himself with Ahaziah274 king4428 of Israel,3478 who did6213 very wickedly:756136 And he joined2266 himself with him to make6213 ships591 to go3212 to Tarshish:8659 and they made6213 the ships591 in Eziongeber.610037 Then Eliezer461 the son1121 of Dodavah1735 of Mareshah4762 prophesied5012 against Jehoshaphat,3092 saying,559 Because thou hast joined2266 thyself with Ahaziah,274 the LORD3068 hath broken6555 thy works.4639 And the ships591 were broken,7665 that they were not able6113 to go3212 to Tarshish.8659
