2 Chronicles 20:10-22

10And nowH6258, behold, the children of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mount SeirH8165, whom thou wouldest not let IsraelH3478 invade, when they cameH935 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 asideH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not; 11behold, how they reward us, to comeH935 to cast us out of thy possessionH3423, which thou hast given us to inheritH3423. 12O our GodH430, wilt thou not judgeH8199 them? for we have no might against this greatH7227 company that cometh against us; neither knowH3045 we what to do: but our eyesH5869 are upon thee. 13And all JudahH3063 stoodH5975 before Jehovah, with their littleH2945 onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their children.

14Then upon JahazielH3166 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3273, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, the LeviteH3881, of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, came the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah in the midstH8432 of the assemblyH6951; 15and he saidH559, Hearken ye, all JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092: ThusH3541 saith Jehovah unto you, FearH3372 not ye, neither be dismayedH2865 by reason of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is not yours, but God’s. 16To-morrow goH5927 ye downH3381 against them: behold, they comeH5927 up by the ascentH4608 of Ziz; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the valley, before the wildernessH4057 of Jeruel. 17Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in this battleH3898: setH5975 yourselves, standH5975 ye stillH5975, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of Jehovah with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389; fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865: to-morrow goH3318 out against them; for Jehovah is with you. 18And JehoshaphatH3092 bowedH7812 his head with his faceH6440 to the groundH776; and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 fellH5307 downH7812 before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah. 19And the LevitesH3881, of the children of the KohathitesH6956 and of the children of the KorahitesH7145, stoodH6965 up to praiseH1984 Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, with an exceeding loud voiceH6963.

20And they roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and wentH3318 forthH3318 into the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620: and as they wentH3318 forthH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, HearH8085 me, O JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389: believeH539 in Jehovah your GodH430, so shall ye be establishedH539; believeH539 his prophetsH5030, so shall ye prosperH6743. 21And when he had taken counselH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 them that should singH7891 unto Jehovah, and giveH3034 praiseH1984 in holyH6944 array, as they wentH3318 out before the army, and sayH559, GiveH3034 thanksH3034 unto Jehovah; for his lovingkindness endureth for everH5769. 22And when they beganH2490 to sing and to praiseH8416, Jehovah setH5414 liers-in-wait against the children of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mount SeirH8165, that were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smitten.
