2 Chronicles 20:1-6

1Later the Moabites, Ammonites, and some of the Meunites  came to wage war against Jehoshaphat.

2Some men reported to Jehoshaphat, “A large crowd is coming against you from the other side of the Dead Sea, from Edom. The crowd is already in Hazazon Tamar” (also called En Gedi).

3Frightened, Jehoshaphat decided to ask for the Lord’s help. He announced a fast throughout Judah.

4The people of Judah gathered to seek the Lord’s help. They came from every city in Judah.

5In the new courtyard at the Lord’s temple, Jehoshaphat stood in front of the people.

6He said, “Lord God of our ancestors, aren’t you the God in heaven? You rule all the kingdoms of the nations. You possess power and might, and no one can oppose you.
