2 Chronicles 20:2-12

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.
