2 Chronicles 20:3-12

3And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek Jehovah, and proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.

4And Judah gathered themselves together to ask [help] of Jehovah: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek Jehovah.

5And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court;

6and he said, Jehovah, 1God of our fathers, art not thou 2God in the heavens, and rulest thou not over all the kingdoms of the nations? And in thy hand there is power and might, and none can withstand thee.

7Hast not thou, our 3God, dispossessed the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and given it for ever to the seed of Abraham, thy friend?

8And they have dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,

9If evil come upon us, sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, and we stand before this house and before thee — for thy name is in this house — and cry unto thee in our distress, then thou wilt hear and save.

10And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab, and those of mount Seir, amongst whom thou wouldest not let Israel go when they came out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned from them, and destroyed them not,)

11behold, they reward us, in coming to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to possess.

12Our 4God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might in presence of this great company which cometh against us, neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee.
