2 Chronicles 20:2-12
2Then some men cameH935 and toldH5046 JehoshaphatH3092H559, “A vastH7227 armyH1995 is comingH935 against youH5921 from EdomH758,1 from beyondH5676 the SeaH3220;2 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.
7Our GodH430, did YouH859 notH3808 drive outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of thisH2063 landH776 beforeH6440 Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 and give itH5414 foreverH5769 to the descendantsH2233 of AbrahamH85 Your friendH157? 8They have livedH3427 in the land and have builtH1129 in it a sanctuaryH4720 for Your NameH8034, sayingH559, 9‘IfH518 disasterH7451 comesH935 upon usH5921—whether swordH2719 or judgmentH8196,3 plagueH1698 or famineH7458—we will standH5975 beforeH6440 thisH2088 templeH1004 and before YouH6440, forH3588 Your NameH8034 is in thisH2088 templeH1004. We will cry outH2199 to YouH413 in our distressH6869, and You will hear usH8085 and save usH3467.’
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.”
