2 Chronicles 20:2-12
2And they cameH935 and toldH5046 JehoshaphatH3092 sayingH559, A greatH7227 multitudeH1995 is comeH935 against thee from beyond the seaH3220, from Syria; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamarH2688, which is Engedi.
3And JehoshaphatH3092 fearedH3372, and setH5414 himself to seekH1875 Jehovah, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughout JudahH3063.
4And JudahH3063 gatheredH6908 themselves togetherH6908 to ask [help] of Jehovah: even out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 they cameH935 to seekH1245 Jehovah.
5And JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 in the congregation of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, before the newH2319 courtH2691;
6and he saidH559, Jehovah, 1GodH430 of our fathersH1, art not thou 2GodH430 in the heavensH8064, and rulest thou not over all the kingdomsH4467 of the nationsH1471? And in thy handH3027 there is power and might, and none can withstand thee.
7Hast not thou, our 3GodH430, dispossessedH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776 before thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and givenH5414 it for everH5769 to the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85, thy friendH157?
8And they have dweltH3427 therein, and have builtH1129 thee a sanctuaryH4720 therein for thy nameH8034, sayingH559,
9If evilH7451 comeH935 upon us, swordH2719, judgment, or pestilenceH1698, or famineH7458, and we standH5975 before this houseH1004 and before thee — for thy nameH8034 is in this houseH1004 — and cryH2199 unto thee in our distressH6869, then thou wilt hearH8085 and saveH3467.
10And nowH6258, behold, the children of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124, and those of mount SeirH8165, amongst whom thou wouldest not let IsraelH3478 goH935 when they cameH935 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, (for they turnedH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not,)
11behold, they reward us, in comingH935 to cast us out of thy possessionH3423, which thou hast given us to possessH3423.
12Our 4GodH430, wilt thou not judgeH8199 them? for we have no might in presenceH6440 of this greatH7227 company which cometh against us, neither knowH3045 we what to do; but our eyesH5869 are upon thee.
