1Now it cameH1961 about afterH310 thisH3651 that the sonsH1121 of MoabH4124 and the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, togetherH5973 with someH4480 of the 12MeunitesH4586, cameH935 to make warH4421 againstH5921 JehoshaphatH3092. 2Then some cameH935 and reportedH5046 to JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, “A greatH7227 multitudeH1995 is comingH935 againstH5921 you from beyondH5676 the seaH3220, out of 3AramH758 and beholdH2009, they are in 4Hazazon-tamarH2688 (that is EngediH5872).” 3JehoshaphatH3092 was afraidH3372 and 56turnedH5414 his attentionH6440 to seekH1875 the LordH3068, and 7proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH5921 allH3605 JudahH3063. 4So JudahH3063 gatheredH6908 together to 8seekH1245 help from the LordH3068; they evenH1571 cameH935 from allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 to seekH1245 the LordH3068.
5Then JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 in the assemblyH6951 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 beforeH6440 the newH2319 courtH2691, 6and he saidH559, “O LordH3068, the GodH430 of our fathersH1, 9are You not GodH430 in the heavensH8064? And 10are You not rulerH4910 overH5921 allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the nationsH1471? PowerH3581 and mightH1369 are in Your handH3027 so that noH369 oneH369 can standH3320 againstH5973 You.
