2 Chronicles 20:3-12

3Jehoshaphat was afraid and 12turned his attention to seek the Lord; and he 3proclaimed a period of fasting throughout Judah. 4So Judah gathered together to 4seek help from the Lord; they even came from all the cities of Judah to seek the Lord.

5Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord in front of the new courtyard; 6and he said, “Lord, God of our fathers, 5are You not God in the heavens? And 6are You not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You. 7Did You not, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land from Your people Israel, and 7give it to the descendants of 8Your friend Abraham forever? 8They have lived in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying, 9‘9If disaster comes upon us, the sword, or judgment, or plague, or famine, we will stand before this house and before You (for 10Your name is in this house), and cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear and save us.’ 10Now behold, 11the sons of Ammon, Moab, and 12Mount Seir, 13whom You did not allow Israel to invade when they came out of the land of Egypt (for they turned aside from them and did not destroy them), 11see how they are rewarding us by 14coming to drive us out from Your possession which You have given us as an inheritance. 12Our God, 15will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but 16our eyes are on You.”
