2 Chronicles 20:10-22

10And now, behold, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whom thou wouldest not letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935, when they came outH935 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not; 11Behold, I say, how they rewardH1580 us, to comeH935 to cast us outH1644 of thy possessionH3425, which thou hast given us to inheritH3423. 12O our GodH430, wilt thou not judgeH8199 them? for we have no mightH3581 againstH6440 this greatH7227 companyH1995 that comethH935 against us; neither knowH3045 weH587 what to doH6213: but our eyesH5869 are upon thee. 13And all JudahH3063 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, withH1571 their little onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their childrenH1121.

14Then upon JahazielH3166 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3273, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, a LeviteH3881 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, came the SpiritH7307 of YhwhH3068 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951; 15And he saidH559, HearkenH7181 ye, all JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 unto you, Be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 by reasonH6440 of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is not yours, but God’sH430. 16To morrowH4279 go ye downH3381 against them: behold, they come upH5927 by the cliffH4608 of ZizH6732; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the brookH5158, beforeH6440 the wildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385.12 17Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in thisH2063 battle: setH3320 yourselves, standH5975 ye still, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of YhwhH3068 with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; to morrowH4279 go outH3318 againstH6440 them: for YhwhH3068 will be with you. 18And JehoshaphatH3092 bowedH6915 his head with his faceH639 to the groundH776: and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 fellH5307 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, worshippingH7812 YhwhH3068. 19And the LevitesH3881, of the childrenH1121 of the KohathitesH6956, and of the childrenH1121 of the KorhitesH7145, stood upH6965 to praiseH1984 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 on highH4605.

20And they rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and went forthH3318 into the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620: and as they went forthH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, HearH8085 me, O JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; BelieveH539 in YhwhH3068 your GodH430, so shall ye be establishedH539; believeH539 his prophetsH5030, so shall ye prosperH6743. 21And when he had consultedH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 singersH7891 unto YhwhH3068, and that should praiseH1984 the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944, as they went outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502, and to sayH559, PraiseH3034 YhwhH3068; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.3

22And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praiseH8416, YhwhH3068 setH5414 ambushmentsH693 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, which were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smittenH5062.456
