2 Chronicles 20:10-22
10And nowH6258, here areH2009 the menH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and MountH2022 SeirH8165, whomH834 You did notH3808 letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935 when they cameH935 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. SoH3588 Israel turned awayH5493 from themH5921 and did notH3808 destroy themH8045. 11SeeH2009 how theyH1992 are repayingH1580 usH5921 by comingH935 to drive us outH1644 of the possessionH3425 thatH834 You gave us as an inheritanceH3423.
12Our GodH430, will You notH3808 judgeH8199 them? ForH3588 we are powerlessH369H3581 beforeH6440 thisH2088 vastH7227 armyH1995 that comesH935 against usH5921. WeH587 do notH3808 knowH3045 whatH4100 to doH6213, butH3588 our eyesH5869 are upon YouH5921.”
13Meanwhile allH3605 the men of JudahH3063, withH1571 their wivesH802 and childrenH1121 and little onesH2945, were standingH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
14Then the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 uponH5921 JahazielH3166 sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3273, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, a LeviteH3881 fromH4480 Asaph’sH623 descendantsH1121, as he stood in the midstH8432 of the assemblyH6951. 15And he saidH559, “ListenH7181, allH3605 you peopleH3427 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389! Listen, KingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092! This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘Do notH408 be afraidH3372H408 or discouragedH2865 because ofH6440 thisH2088 vastH7227 armyH1995, forH3588 the battleH4421 does not belongH3808 to you, butH3588 to GodH430. 16TomorrowH4279 you are to march downH3381 against themH5921. You will see themH2005 coming upH5927 the AscentH4608 of ZizH6732, and you will findH4672 themH853 at the endH5490 of the valleyH5158 facingH6440 the WildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385. 17You need notH3808 fightH3898 thisH2063 battle. Take up your positionsH3320, stand firmH5975, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 on your behalfH5973, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. Do notH408 be afraidH3372H408 or discouragedH2865. Go outH3318 and face themH6440 tomorrowH4279, for the LORDH3068 is with youH5973.’”
18Then JehoshaphatH3092 bowedH6915 facedownH639H776, and allH3605 the peopleH3427 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 fell downH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to worshipH7812 HimH3068. 19And the LevitesH3881 fromH4480 the KohathitesH1121H6956H4480 and KorahitesH7145 stood upH6965 to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, shouting in a very loudH1419H4605 voiceH6963.
20Early in the morningH1242 they got upH7925 and leftH3318 for the WildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620. As they set outH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stood upH5975 and saidH559, “Hear meH8085, O peopleH3427 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. BelieveH539 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and you will be upheldH539; believeH539 in His prophetsH5030, and you will succeedH6743.”
21Then Jehoshaphat consultedH3289 withH413 the peopleH5971 and appointed thoseH5975 who would singH7891 to the LORDH3068 and praiseH1984 the splendorH1927 of His holinessH6944. As they went outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502, they were singingH559:
22The momentH6256 they beganH2490 their shoutsH7440 and praisesH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 ambushesH693 against the menH5921 of AmmonH1121H5983, MoabH4124, and MountH2022 SeirH8165 who had comeH935 against JudahH3063, and they were defeatedH5062.
