2 Chronicles 20:10-22
10NowH6258 beholdH2009, 1the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and 2MountH2022 SeirH8165, 3whomH834 You did not allowH5414 IsraelH3478 to invadeH935 when they cameH935 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 (for they turnedH5493 asideH5493 from them and did not destroyH8045 them), 11seeH2009 how they are rewardingH1580 us by 4comingH935 to driveH1644 us outH1644 from Your possessionH3425 whichH834 You have givenH3423 us asH3423 anH3423 inheritanceH3423. 12Our GodH430, 5will You not judgeH8199 them? For we are powerlessH369H3581 beforeH6440 thisH2088 greatH7227 multitudeH1995 that is comingH935 againstH5921 us; norH3808 do we knowH3045 whatH4100 to doH6213, but 6our eyesH5869 are on You.”
13AllH3605 JudahH3063 was standingH5975 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, with their infantsH2945, their wivesH802, and their childrenH1121. 14Then in the midstH8432 of the assemblyH6951 7the SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 upon JahazielH3166 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3262, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, the LeviteH3881 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623; 15and he saidH559, “ListenH7181, allH3605 you of JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and KingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092: ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559 to you: ‘8Do not fearH3372 or be dismayedH2865 becauseH4480H6440 of thisH2088 greatH7227 multitudeH1995, for 9the battleH4421 is not yours but God’sH430. 16TomorrowH4279, goH3381 downH3381 againstH5921 them. BeholdH2009, they will comeH5927 upH5927 by the ascentH4608 of ZizH6732, and you will findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the valleyH5158 in frontH6440 of the wildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385. 17You need not fightH3898 in thisH2088 battle; takeH3320 your positionH3320, 10standH5975 and watchH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LordH3068 inH5973 your behalfH5973, JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.’ Do not fearH3372 or be dismayedH2865; tomorrowH4279, goH3318 outH3318 to faceH6440 them, 11for the LordH3068 is with you.”
18JehoshaphatH3092 12bowedH6915 his head with his faceH639 to the groundH776, and allH3605 JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 fellH5307 downH5307 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, worshipingH2331 the LordH3068. 19The LevitesH3881, from the sonsH1121 of the KohathitesH6956 and from the sonsH1121 of the KorahitesH7145, stoodH6965 upH6965 to praiseH1984 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, with a veryH4605 loudH1419 voiceH6963.
20They roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and wentH3318 outH3318 to the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620; and when they wentH3318 out, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, “ListenH8085 to me, JudahH3063 and inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389: 13PutH539 your trustH539 in the LordH3068 your GodH430 and you will endureH539. PutH539 your trustH539 in His prophetsH5030, and succeedH6743.” 21When he had consultedH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 those who sangH7891 to the LordH3068 and those who 14praisedH1984 Him in holyH6944 attireH1927, as they wentH3318 outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502 and saidH559, “15GiveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068, for His faithfulnessH2617 is everlastingH5769.” 22WhenH6256 they beganH2490 singingH7440 and praisingH8416, the LordH3068 16setH5414 ambushesH693 againstH5921 the sonsH1121 of 17AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and MountH2022 SeirH8165, who had comeH935 against JudahH3063; so they were struckH5062 downH5062.
