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. 23The AmmonitesH1121H5983 and MoabitesH4124 rose upH5975 againstH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of MountH2022 SeirH8165, devoting themH2763 to destructionH8045.1 And when they had finished offH3615 the inhabitantsH3427 of SeirH8165, they helpedH5826 to destroyH4889 oneH376 anotherH7453.

24When the men of JudahH3063 cameH935 toH5921 a place overlookingH4707 the wildernessH4057, they lookedH6437 forH413 the vast armyH1995, but thereH2005 were only corpsesH6297 lyingH5307 on the groundH776; no oneH369 had escapedH6413. 25Then JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 wentH935 to carry offH962 the plunderH7998, and they foundH4672 on the bodiesH6297 an abundanceH7230 of goodsH7399 and valuablesH2532H36272—more thanH369 they could carry awayH4853. They wereH1961 gatheringH962 the plunderH7998 for threeH7969 daysH3117 becauseH3588 there was so muchH7227H1931.
