2 Chronicles 20:5-13
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, 1are You not God in the heavens? And 2are 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 3give it to the descendants of 4Your friend Abraham forever? 8They have lived in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying, 9‘5If disaster comes upon us, the sword, or judgment, or plague, or famine, we will stand before this house and before You (for 6Your name is in this house), and cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear and save us.’ 10Now behold, 7the sons of Ammon, Moab, and 8Mount Seir, 9whom 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 10coming to drive us out from Your possession which You have given us as an inheritance. 12Our God, 11will 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 12our eyes are on You.”
13All Judah was standing before the Lord, with their infants, their wives, and their children.
