2 Chronicles 20:3-30

3JehoshaphatH3092 wasH3372 afraidH3372 and 12turnedH5414 his attentionH6440 to seekH1875 the LordH3068; and he 3proclaimedH7121 a periodH6685 ofH6685 fastingH6685 throughoutH5921H3605 JudahH3063. 4So JudahH3063 gatheredH6908 together to 4seekH1245 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 in frontH6440 of the newH2319 courtyardH2691; 6and he saidH559, “LordH3068, GodH430 of our fathersH1, 5are You not GodH430 in the heavensH8064? And 6are 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. 7Did You not, our GodH430, driveH3423 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of thisH2088 landH776 from Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and 7giveH5414 it to the descendantsH2233 of 8Your friendH157 AbrahamH85 foreverH5769? 8They have livedH3427 in it, and have builtH1129 You a sanctuaryH4720 in it for Your nameH8034, sayingH559, 9‘9IfH518 disasterH7463 comesH935 upon us, the swordH2719, or judgmentH8196, or plagueH1698, or famineH7458, we will standH5975 beforeH6440 thisH2088 houseH1004 and beforeH6440 You (for 10Your nameH8034 is in thisH2088 houseH1004), and cryH2199 outH2199 to You in our distressH6869, and You will hearH8085 and saveH3467 us.’ 10NowH6258 beholdH2009, 11the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and 12MountH2022 SeirH8165, 13whomH834 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 14comingH935 to driveH1644 us outH1644 from Your possessionH3425 whichH834 You have givenH3423 us asH3423 anH3423 inheritanceH3423. 12Our GodH430, 15will 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 16our 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 17the 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: ‘18Do not fearH3372 or be dismayedH2865 becauseH4480H6440 of thisH2088 greatH7227 multitudeH1995, for 19the 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, 20standH5975 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, 21for the LordH3068 is with you.”

18JehoshaphatH3092 22bowedH6915 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: 23PutH539 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 24praisedH1984 Him in holyH6944 attireH1927, as they wentH3318 outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502 and saidH559, “25GiveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068, for His faithfulnessH2617 is everlastingH5769.” 22WhenH6256 they beganH2490 singingH7440 and praisingH8416, the LordH3068 26setH5414 ambushesH693 againstH5921 the sonsH1121 of 27AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and MountH2022 SeirH8165, who had comeH935 against JudahH3063; so they were struckH5062 downH5062. 23For the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 roseH5975 up againstH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of MountH2022 SeirH8165, completelyH8045 destroyingH2763 them; and when they had finishedH3615 with the inhabitantsH3427 of SeirH8165, 28they helpedH5826 to destroyH4889 oneH376 anotherH7453.

24When JudahH3063 cameH935 to the watchtowerH4707 of the wildernessH4057, they turnedH6437 towardH413 the multitudeH1995, and beholdH2009, they were corpsesH6297 lyingH5307 on the groundH776, and there was noH369 survivorH6413. 25When JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 cameH935 to takeH962 their spoilsH7998, they foundH4672 muchH7230 among them, including goodsH7399, 29garmentsH899, and valuableH2536 thingsH3627 which they tookH5337 for themselves, more thanH4480 they could carryH4853. And they were takingH962 the spoilsH7998 for threeH7969 daysH3117 becauseH3588 there was so muchH7227. 26Then on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they assembledH6950 in the ValleyH6010 of BeracahH1294, for they blessedH1288 the LordH3068 thereH8033. ThereforeH5921H3651 they have namedH7121H8034 that placeH4725 “The ValleyH6010 of 30BeracahH1294” untilH5704 todayH3117. 27EveryH3605 manH376 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 returnedH7725, with JehoshaphatH3092 at their headH7218, returningH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with joyH8057, 31for the LordH3068 had helpedH8055 them to rejoiceH8055 overH4480 their enemiesH340. 28They cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with harpsH5035, lyresH3658, and trumpetsH2689, to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 29And 32the dreadH6343 of GodH430 was on allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the landsH776 when they heardH8085 that the LordH3068 had foughtH3898 againstH5973 the enemiesH340 of IsraelH3478. 30So the kingdomH4438 of JehoshaphatH3092 wasH8252 atH8252 peaceH8252, 33for his GodH430 gaveH5117 him restH5117 on allH5439 sidesH5439.
