2 Chronicles 20:20-26
20And they roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and wentH3318 forthH3318 towards the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620; and as they wentH3318 forthH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, HearH8085 me, JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389! BelieveH539 in Jehovah your 1GodH430, and ye shall be establishedH539; believeH539 his prophetsH5030, and ye shall prosperH6743!
21And he consultedH3289 with the peopleH5971, and appointedH5975 singersH7891 to Jehovah, and those that should praiseH1984 in holyH6944 splendour, as they wentH3318 forthH3318 before the armedH2502 men, and sayH559, GiveH3034 thanksH3034 to Jehovah; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for everH5769!
22And when they beganH2490 the song of triumph and praiseH8416, Jehovah setH5414 liers-in-wait against the children of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mount SeirH8165, who had comeH935 against JudahH3063, and they were smitten.
23And the children of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 stoodH5975 up against the inhabitantsH3427 of mount SeirH8165, to exterminate and destroyH8045 [them]; and when they had made an endH3615 of the inhabitantsH3427 of SeirH8165, they helpedH5826 to destroyH8045 oneH376 another.
24And JudahH3063 cameH935 on to the mountain-watch in the wildernessH4057, and they looked toward the multitudeH1995; and behold, they were dead bodies fallenH5307 to the earthH776, and none had escapedH6413.
25And JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 cameH935 to plunderH962 the spoilH7998 of them, and they foundH4672 among them in abundanceH7230, both riches with the dead bodies, and preciousH2530 thingsH7969, and they stripped off for themselves more than they could carryH4853 awayH5337; and they wereH1961 threeH7969 daysH3117 in plundering the spoilH7998, it was so much.
26And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they assembledH6950 themselves in the valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294, for there they blessedH1288 Jehovah; thereforeH3651 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 The valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294, to this dayH3117.
