2 Chronicles 20:1-6

1After thisH310, the MoabitesH1121H4124 and AmmonitesH1121H5983, together withH5973 some of the MeunitesH5984,1 cameH935 to make warH4421 againstH5921 JehoshaphatH3092. 2Then some men cameH935 and toldH5046 JehoshaphatH3092H559, “A vastH7227 armyH1995 is comingH935 against youH5921 from EdomH758,2 from beyondH5676 the SeaH3220;3 they are alreadyH2009 in Hazazon-tamarH2688” (that isH1931, En-gediH5872).

3JehoshaphatH3092 was alarmedH3372 and setH5414 his faceH6440 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068. And he proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH5921H3605 JudahH3063. 4So the people of JudahH3063 gatheredH6908 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068, and indeedH1571, they cameH935 from allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 to seekH1245 HimH3068.

5Then JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 in the assemblyH6951 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in front ofH6440 the newH2319 courtyardH2691 6and saidH559, “O LORDH3068, GodH430 of our fathersH1, are YouH859H1931 notH3808 the GodH430 who is in heavenH8064, and do YouH859 not ruleH4910 over allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the nationsH1471? PowerH3581 and mightH1369 are in Your handH3027, and noH369 one can standH3320 against YouH5973.
