2 Chronicles 20:20-29
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. 23For the children of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 stoodH5975 up against the inhabitantsH3427 of mount SeirH8165, utterly to slay and destroyH8045 them: and when they had made an endH3615 of the inhabitantsH3427 of SeirH8165, every oneH376 helpedH5826 to destroyH8045 another.
24And when JudahH3063 cameH935 to the watch-tower of the wildernessH4057, they looked upon the multitudeH1995; and, behold, they were dead bodies fallenH5307 to the earthH776, and there were none that escapedH6413. 25And when JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 cameH935 to takeH962 the spoilH7998 of them, they foundH4672 among them in abundanceH7230 both riches and dead bodies, and preciousH2530 jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carryH4853 awayH5337: and they wereH1961 threeH7969 daysH3117 in taking the spoilH7998, it was so much. 26And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they assembledH6950 themselves in the valleyH6010 of Beracah; for there they blessedH1288 Jehovah: thereforeH3651 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 The valleyH6010 of Beracah unto this dayH3117. 27Then they returnedH7725, every manH376 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and JehoshaphatH3092 in the forefront of them, to goH7725 again to JerusalemH3389 with joyH8057; for Jehovah had made them to rejoiceH8055 over their enemiesH341. 28And they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with psalteries and harpsH3658 and trumpetsH2689 unto the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 29And the fearH6343 of GodH430 wasH1961 on all the kingdomsH4467 of the countries, when they heardH8085 that Jehovah foughtH3898 against the enemiesH341 of IsraelH3478.
