2 Chronicles 20:10-23

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.
