1

It came to pass after [0310] this also, [that] the children [1121] of Moab, [4124] and the children [1121] of Ammon, [5983] and with them [other] beside the Ammonites, [5984] came [0935] against Jehoshaphat [3092] to battle. [4421]

2

Then there came [0935] some that told [5046] Jehoshaphat, [3092] saying, [0559] There cometh [0935] a great [7227] multitude [1995] against thee from beyond [5676] the sea [3220] on this side Syria; [0758] and, behold, they [be] in Hazazontamar, [2688] which [is] Engedi. [5872]

3

And Jehoshaphat [3092] feared, [3372] and set [5414] himself [6440] to seek [1875] the LORD, [3068] and proclaimed [7121] a fast [6685] throughout [5921] all Judah. [3063]

4

And Judah [3063] gathered themselves together, [6908] to ask [1245] [help] of the LORD: [3068] even out of all the cities [5892] of Judah [3063] they came [0935] to seek [1245] the LORD. [3068]

5

And Jehoshaphat [3092] stood [5975] in the congregation [6951] of Judah [3063] and Jerusalem, [3389] in the house [1004] of the LORD, [3068] before [6440] the new [2319] court, [2691]

6

And said, [0559] O LORD [3068] God [0430] of our fathers, [0001] [art] not thou God [0430] in heaven? [8064] and rulest [4910] [not] thou over all the kingdoms [4467] of the heathen? [1471] and in thine hand [3027] [is there not] power [3581] and might, [1369] so that none is able to withstand [3320] thee?

7

[Art] not thou our God, [0430] [who] didst drive out [3423] the inhabitants [3427] of this land [0776] before [6440] thy people [5971] Israel, [3478] and gavest [5414] it to the seed [2233] of Abraham [0085] thy friend [0157] for ever? [5769]

8

And they dwelt [3427] therein, and have built [1129] thee a sanctuary [4720] therein for thy name, [8034] saying, [0559]

9

If, [when] evil [7451] cometh [0935] upon us, [as] the sword, [2719] judgment, [8196] or pestilence, [1698] or famine, [7458] we stand [5975] before [6440] this house, [1004] and in thy presence, [6440] (for thy name [8034] [is] in this house,) [1004] and cry [2199] unto thee in our affliction, [6869] then thou wilt hear [8085] and help. [3467]

10

And now, behold, the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] and Moab [4124] and mount [2022] Seir, [8165] whom thou wouldest not let [5414] Israel [3478] invade, [0935] when they came [0935] out of the land [0776] of Egypt, [4714] but they turned [5493] from them, and destroyed [8045] them not;

11

Behold, [I say, how] they reward [1580] us, to come [0935] to cast us out [1644] of thy possession, [3425] which thou hast given us to inherit. [3423]

12

O our God, [0430] wilt thou not judge [8199] them? for we have no might [3581] against [6440] this great [7227] company [1995] that cometh [0935] against us; neither know [3045] we [0587] what to do: [6213] but our eyes [5869] [are] upon thee.

13

And all Judah [3063] stood [5975] before [6440] the LORD, [3068] with [1571] their little ones, [2945] their wives, [0802] and their children. [1121]

14

Then upon Jahaziel [3166] the son [1121] of Zechariah, [2148] the son [1121] of Benaiah, [1141] the son [1121] of Jeiel, [3273] the son [1121] of Mattaniah, [4983] a Levite [3881] of the sons [1121] of Asaph, [0623] came the Spirit [7307] of the LORD [3068] in the midst [8432] of the congregation; [6951]

15

And he said, [0559] Hearken [7181] ye, all Judah, [3063] and ye inhabitants [3427] of Jerusalem, [3389] and thou king [4428] Jehoshaphat, [3092] Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] unto you, Be not afraid [3372] nor dismayed [2865] by reason [6440] of this great [7227] multitude; [1995] for the battle [4421] [is] not yours, but God's. [0430]

16

To morrow [4279] go ye down [3381] against them: behold, they come up [5927] by the cliff [4608] of Ziz; [6732] and ye shall find [4672] them at the end [5490] of the brook, [5158] before [6440] the wilderness [4057] of Jeruel. [3385]

17

Ye shall not [need] to fight [3898] in this [2063] [battle]: set [3320] yourselves, stand [5975] ye [still], and see [7200] the salvation [3444] of the LORD [3068] with you, O Judah [3063] and Jerusalem: [3389] fear [3372] not, nor be dismayed; [2865] to morrow [4279] go out [3318] against [6440] them: for the LORD [3068] [will be] with you.

18

And Jehoshaphat [3092] bowed his head [6915] with [his] face [0639] to the ground: [0776] and all Judah [3063] and the inhabitants [3427] of Jerusalem [3389] fell [5307] before [6440] the LORD, [3068] worshipping [7812] the LORD. [3068]

19

And the Levites, [3881] of the children [1121] of the Kohathites, [6956] and of the children [1121] of the Korhites, [7145] stood up [6965] to praise [1984] the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel [3478] with a loud [1419] voice [6963] on high. [4605]

20

And they rose early [7925] in the morning, [1242] and went forth [3318] into the wilderness [4057] of Tekoa: [8620] and as they went forth, [3318] Jehoshaphat [3092] stood [5975] and said, [0559] Hear [8085] me, O Judah, [3063] and ye inhabitants [3427] of Jerusalem; [3389] Believe [0539] in the LORD [3068] your God, [0430] so shall ye be established; [0539] believe [0539] his prophets, [5030] so shall ye prosper. [6743]

21

And when he had consulted [3289] with the people, [5971] he appointed [5975] singers [7891] unto the LORD, [3068] and that should praise [1984] the beauty [1927] of holiness, [6944] as they went out [3318] before [6440] the army, [2502] and to say, [0559] Praise [3034] the LORD; [3068] for his mercy [2617] [endureth] for ever. [5769]

22

And when [6256] they began [2490] to sing [7440] and to praise, [8416] the LORD [3068] set [5414] ambushments [0693] against the children [1121] of Ammon, [5983] Moab, [4124] and mount [2022] Seir, [8165] which were come [0935] against Judah; [3063] and they were smitten. [5062]

23

For the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] and Moab [4124] stood up [5975] against the inhabitants [3427] of mount [2022] Seir, [8165] utterly to slay [2763] and destroy [8045] [them]: and when they had made an end [3615] of the inhabitants [3427] of Seir, [8165] every one [0376] helped [5826] to destroy [4889] another. [7453]

24

And when Judah [3063] came [0935] toward the watch tower [4707] [4708] in the wilderness, [4057] they looked [6437] unto the multitude, [1995] and, behold, they [were] dead bodies [6297] fallen [5307] to the earth, [0776] and none escaped. [6413]

25

And when Jehoshaphat [3092] and his people [5971] came [0935] to take away [0962] the spoil [7998] of them, they found [4672] among them in abundance [7230] both riches [7399] with the dead bodies, [6297] and precious [2532] jewels, [3627] which they stripped off [5337] for themselves, more than [0369] they could carry away: [4853] and they were three [7969] days [3117] in gathering [0962] of the spoil, [7998] it was so much. [7227]

26

And on the fourth [7243] day [3117] they assembled [6950] themselves in the valley [6010] of Berachah; [1293] [1294] for there they blessed [1288] the LORD: [3068] therefore the name [8034] of the same place [4725] was called, [7121] The valley [6010] of Berachah, [1293] [1294] unto this day. [3117]

27

Then they returned, [7725] every man [0376] of Judah [3063] and Jerusalem, [3389] and Jehoshaphat [3092] in the forefront [7218] of them, to go again [7725] to Jerusalem [3389] with joy; [8057] for the LORD [3068] had made them to rejoice [8055] over their enemies. [0341]

28

And they came [0935] to Jerusalem [3389] with psalteries [5035] and harps [3658] and trumpets [2689] unto the house [1004] of the LORD. [3068]

29

And the fear [6343] of God [0430] was on all the kingdoms [4467] of [those] countries, [0776] when they had heard [8085] that the LORD [3068] fought [3898] against the enemies [0341] of Israel. [3478]

30

So the realm [4438] of Jehoshaphat [3092] was quiet: [8252] for his God [0430] gave him rest [5117] round about. [5439]

31

And Jehoshaphat [3092] reigned [4427] over Judah: [3063] [he was] thirty [7970] and five [2568] years [8141] old [1121] when he began to reign, [4427] and he reigned [4427] twenty [6242] and five [2568] years [8141] in Jerusalem. [3389] And his mother's [0517] name [8034] [was] Azubah [5806] the daughter [1323] of Shilhi. [7977]

32

And he walked [3212] in the way [1870] of Asa [0609] his father, [0001] and departed [5493] not from it, doing [6213] [that which was] right [3477] in the sight [5869] of the LORD. [3068]

33

Howbeit the high places [1116] were not taken away: [5493] for as yet the people [5971] had not prepared [3559] their hearts [3824] unto the God [0430] of their fathers. [0001]

34

Now the rest [3499] of the acts [1697] of Jehoshaphat, [3092] first [7223] and last, [0314] behold, they [are] written [3789] in the book [1697] of Jehu [3058] the son [1121] of Hanani, [2607] who [is] mentioned [5927] in the book [5612] of the kings [4428] of Israel. [3478]

35

And after [0310] this did Jehoshaphat [3092] king [4428] of Judah [3063] join [2266] himself with Ahaziah [0274] king [4428] of Israel, [3478] who did [6213] very wickedly: [7561]

36

And he joined [2266] himself with him to make [6213] ships [0591] to go [3212] to Tarshish: [8659] and they made [6213] the ships [0591] in Eziongeber. [6100]

37

Then Eliezer [0461] the son [1121] of Dodavah [1735] of Mareshah [4762] prophesied [5012] against Jehoshaphat, [3092] saying, [0559] Because thou hast joined [2266] thyself with Ahaziah, [0274] the LORD [3068] hath broken [6555] thy works. [4639] And the ships [0591] were broken, [7665] that they were not able [6113] to go [3212] to Tarshish. [8659]
