2 Chronicles 20

1And it cameH935 to passH935 afterH310 this, that the childrenH1121 of MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and with them some of the AmmonitesH5984, cameH935 againstH5921 JehoshaphatH3092 to battleH4421. 2Then there cameH935 someH7227 that toldH5046 JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, There cometh a greatH7227 multitudeH1995 againstH5921 thee from beyondH5676 the seaH3220 from SyriaH758; and, beholdH2009, they be in Hazazon-tamarH2688 (the sameH1931 is En-gedi). 3And JehoshaphatH3092 fearedH3372, and setH5414 himselfH6440 to seekH1875 unto the LORDH3068; and he proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH3605 allH3605 JudahH3063. 4And JudahH3063 gatheredH6908 themselvesH6908 togetherH6908, to seekH1245 help of the LORDH3068: evenH1571 outH1245 of allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 they cameH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068. 5And JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 in the congregationH6951 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, beforeH6440 the newH2319 courtH2691; 6and he saidH559, O LORDH3068, the GodH430 of our fathersH1, art notH3808 thou GodH430 in heavenH8064? and art notH3808 thou rulerH4910 over allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the nationsH1471? and in thine handH3027 is powerH3027 and might, soH3808 that noneH369 is ableH3027 to withstand thee. 7Didst notH3808 thou, O our GodH430, driveH3423 outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and gavest it to the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 thy friendH157 for everH5769? 8And they dweltH3427 therein, and have builtH1129 thee a sanctuaryH4720 therein for thy nameH8034, sayingH559, 9IfH518 evilH7451 comeH935 uponH5921 usH413, the swordH2719, judgmentH8196, or pestilenceH1698, or famineH7458, weH3588 will standH5975 beforeH6440 this houseH1004, and beforeH6440 thee, (for thy nameH8034 is in this houseH1004,) and cryH2199 unto thee in our affliction, and thou wilt hearH8085 and saveH3467. 10And nowH6258, beholdH2009, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whomH834 thou wouldest notH3808 letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935, when they cameH935 outH5921 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 asideH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them notH3808; 11beholdH2009, howH834 they reward usH5921, to comeH935 to castH3423 usH5921 outH3423 of thy possessionH3423, whichH834 thou hast givenH3423 usH5921 to inheritH3423. 12O our GodH430, wilt thou notH3808 judgeH8199 them? for weH587 have noH3808 might againstH5921 this greatH7227 company that cometh againstH5921 usH5921; neitherH3808 knowH3045 weH587 whatH4100 to doH6213: but our eyesH5869 are uponH5921 thee. 13And allH3605 JudahH3063 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, with their littleH2945 onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their childrenH1121. 14Then uponH5921 JahazielH3166 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3273, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, the LeviteH3881, of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, cameH1961 the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951; 15and he saidH559, Hearken ye, allH3605 JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092: thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 unto youH859, FearH3372 notH3808 ye, neitherH3808 be dismayedH2865 by reason of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is notH3808 yoursH859, but God’sH430. 16TomorrowH4279 goH5927 ye downH3381 againstH5921 them: beholdH2005, they comeH5927 upH5927 by the ascentH4608 of ZizH6732; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the valleyH5158, beforeH6440 the wildernessH4057 of Jeruel. 17Ye shall notH3808 need to fightH3898 in this battleH3898: setH5975 yourselves, standH5975 ye stillH5975, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 with youH6440, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 notH3808, norH3808 be dismayedH2865: tomorrowH4279 goH3318 outH3318 againstH5973 them; for the LORDH3068 is with youH6440. 18And JehoshaphatH3092 bowedH7812 his headH6440 with his faceH6440 to the groundH776: and allH3605 JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 fellH5307 downH7812 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, worshipping the LORDH3068. 19And the LevitesH3881, of the childrenH1121 of the KohathitesH6956 and of the childrenH1121 of the KorahitesH7145, stoodH6965 upH6965 to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, with an exceeding loudH1419 voiceH6963. 20And they roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and wentH3318 forthH3318 intoH3318 the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620: and as they wentH3318 forthH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, HearH8085 meH3318, O JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; believeH539 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430, soH3318 shall ye be establishedH539; believeH539 his prophetsH5030, soH3318 shall ye prosperH6743. 21And when he had takenH3318 counselH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 them that should singH7891 unto the LORDH3068, and praiseH1984 the beauty of holinessH6944, as they wentH3318 outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH5971, and sayH559, GiveH3034 thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for his mercyH3068 endureth for everH5769. 22And when they beganH2490 to sing and to praiseH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 liers in waitH693 againstH5921 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whichH2022 were comeH935 againstH5921 JudahH3063; and they were smitten. 23For the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 stoodH5975 upH5975 againstH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of mountH2022 SeirH8165, utterlyH4889 to slay and destroyH8045 them: and when they had made an endH3615 of the inhabitantsH3427 of SeirH8165, everyH376 one helpedH5826 to destroyH8045 anotherH7453. 24And when JudahH3063 cameH935 to the watch-tower of the wildernessH4057, they lookedH6437 uponH5921 the multitudeH1995; and, beholdH2005, they were deadH6297 bodiesH6297 fallenH5307 to the earthH776, and there were noneH369 that escapedH6413. 25And when JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 cameH935 to takeH962 the spoilH7998 of them, they foundH4672 among them in abundanceH7230 both riches and deadH6297 bodiesH6297, and preciousH2530 jewelsH3627, whichH1931 they strippedH5337 offH853 for themselves, moreH369 thanH7227 they couldH5971 carryH4853 awayH5337: and they were threeH7969 daysH3117 in takingH935 of the spoilH7998, it was soH1961 muchH7230. 26And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they assembledH6950 themselvesH5921 in the valleyH6010 of BeracahH1294; for there they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068: therefore the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 The valleyH6010 of BeracahH1294, unto this dayH3117. 27Then they returnedH7725, everyH3605 manH376 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and JehoshaphatH3092 in the forefront of them, to goH7725 againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with joyH8057; for the LORDH3068 had madeH7725 them to rejoiceH8055 over their enemiesH341. 28And they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with psalteries and harpsH3658 and trumpetsH2689 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 29And the fearH6343 of GodH430 was on allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the countriesH776, when they heardH8085 that the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 againstH5921 the enemiesH341 of IsraelH3478. 30So the realmH4438 of JehoshaphatH3092 was quietH8252: for his GodH430 gaveH5117 him restH5117 roundH5439 aboutH5439. 31And JehoshaphatH3092 reignedH4427 over JudahH3063: he was thirtyH7970 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AzubahH5806 the daughterH1323 of ShilhiH7977. 32And he walked in the wayH1870 of AsaH609 his fatherH1, and turnedH5493 notH3808 asideH5493 from it, doingH6213 that whichH5869 was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068. 33Howbeit the highH1116 placesH1116 were notH3808 takenH5493 awayH5493; neitherH3808 as yet had the peopleH5971 setH3559 their heartsH3824 unto the GodH430 of their fathersH1. 34NowH2005 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoshaphatH3092, firstH7223 and lastH314, beholdH2005, they are writtenH3789 in the history of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607, whichH834 is inserted in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. 35And afterH310 this didH6213 JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 joinH2266 himselfH1931 with AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; the sameH1931 didH6213 very wickedlyH7561: 36and he joinedH2266 himself with him to makeH6213 shipsH591 to go to TarshishH8659: and they madeH6213 the shipsH591 in Ezion-geberH6100. 37Then EliezerH461 the sonH1121 of DodavahuH1735 of MareshahH4762 prophesiedH5012 againstH5921 JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, BecauseH5921 thou hast joinedH2266 thyself with AhaziahH274, the LORDH3068 hath destroyedH6555 thy worksH4639. And the shipsH591 were brokenH7665, that they were notH3808 ableH4639 to go to TarshishH8659.
