2 Chroniques 20

1And it came to pass after this^H310, that the children^H1121 of Moab^H4124, and the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, and with them some of the Ammonites^H5984, came^H935 against Jehoshaphat^H3092 to battle^H4421. 2Then there came^H935 some that told^H5046 Jehoshaphat^H3092, saying^H559, There cometh^H935 a great^H7227 multitude^H1995 against thee from beyond^H5676 the sea^H3220 from Syria^H758; and, behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar^H2688 (the same is En-gedi^H5872). 3And Jehoshaphat^H3092 feared^H3372, and set^H5414 himself^H6440 to seek^H1875 unto Jehovah^H3068; and he proclaimed^H7121 a fast^H6685 throughout^H5921 all Judah^H3063. 4And Judah^H3063 gathered themselves together^H6908, to seek^H1245 help of Jehovah^H3068: even out of all the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 they came^H935 to seek^H1245 Jehovah^H3068. 5And Jehoshaphat^H3092 stood^H5975 in the assembly^H6951 of Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389, in the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068, before^H6440 the new^H2319 court^H2691; 6and he said^H559, O Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of our fathers^H1, art not thou God^H430 in heaven^H8064? and art not thou ruler^H4910 over all the kingdoms^H4467 of the nations^H1471? and in thy hand^H3027 is power^H3581 and might^H1369, so that none is able to withstand^H3320 thee. 7Didst not thou, O our God^H430, drive out^H3423 the inhabitants^H3427 of this land^H776 before^H6440 thy people^H5971 Israel^H3478, and give^H5414 it to the seed^H2233 of Abraham^H85 thy friend^H157 for ever^H5769? 8And they dwelt^H3427 therein, and have built^H1129 thee a sanctuary^H4720 therein for thy name^H8034, saying^H559, 9If evil^H7451 come^H935 upon us, the sword^H2719, judgment^H8196, or pestilence^H1698, or famine^H7458, we will stand^H5975 before^H6440 this house^H1004, and before^H6440 thee, (for thy name^H8034 is in this house^H1004,) and cry^H2199 unto thee in our affliction^H6869, and thou wilt hear^H8085 and save^H3467. 10And now, behold, the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983 and Moab^H4124 and mount^H2022 Seir^H8165, whom thou wouldest not let^H5414 Israel^H3478 invade^H935, when they came out^H935 of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, but they turned^H5493 aside from them, and destroyed^H8045 them not; 11behold, how they reward^H1580 us, to come^H935 to cast us out^H1644 of thy possession^H3425, which thou hast given us to inherit^H3423. 12O our God^H430, wilt thou not judge^H8199 them? for we have no might^H3581 against^H6440 this great^H7227 company^H1995 that cometh^H935 against us; neither know^H3045 we^H587 what to do^H6213: but our eyes^H5869 are upon thee. 13And all Judah^H3063 stood^H5975 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068, with^H1571 their little ones^H2945, their wives^H802, and their children^H1121. 14Then upon Jahaziel^H3166 the son^H1121 of Zechariah^H2148, the son^H1121 of Benaiah^H1141, the son^H1121 of Jeiel^H3273, the son^H1121 of Mattaniah^H4983, the Levite^H3881, of the sons^H1121 of Asaph^H623, came the Spirit^H7307 of Jehovah^H3068 in the midst^H8432 of the assembly^H6951; 15and he said^H559, Hearken^H7181 ye, all Judah^H3063, and ye inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, and thou king^H4428 Jehoshaphat^H3092: Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 unto you, Fear^H3372 not ye, neither be dismayed^H2865 by reason^H6440 of this great^H7227 multitude^H1995; for the battle^H4421 is not yours, but God's^H430. 16To-morrow^H4279 go ye down^H3381 against them: behold, they come up^H5927 by the ascent^H5927 of Ziz^H6732; and ye shall find^H4672 them at the end^H5490 of the valley^H5158, before^H6440 the wilderness^H4057 of Jeruel^H3385. 17Ye shall not need to fight^H3898 in this^H2063 battle: set^H3320 yourselves, stand^H5975 ye still, and see^H7200 the salvation^H3444 of Jehovah^H3068 with you, O Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389; fear^H3372 not, nor be dismayed^H2865: to-morrow^H4279 go out^H3318 against^H6440 them: for Jehovah^H3068 is with you. 18And Jehoshaphat^H3092 bowed^H6915 his head with his face^H639 to the ground^H776; and all Judah^H3063 and the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389 fell^H5307 down before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068, worshipping^H7812 Jehovah^H3068. 19And the Levites^H3881, of the children^H1121 of the Kohathites^H6956 and of the children^H1121 of the Korahites^H7145, stood up^H6965 to praise^H1984 Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, with an exceeding^H4605 loud^H1419 voice^H6963. 20And they rose early^H7925 in the morning^H1242, and went forth^H3318 into the wilderness^H4057 of Tekoa^H8620: and as they went forth^H3318, Jehoshaphat^H3092 stood^H5975 and said^H559, Hear^H8085 me, O Judah^H3063, and ye inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389: believe^H539 in Jehovah^H3068 your God^H430, so shall ye be established^H539; believe^H539 his prophets^H5030, so shall ye prosper^H6743. 21And when he had taken counsel^H3289 with the people^H5971, he appointed^H5975 them that should sing^H7891 unto Jehovah^H3068, and give praise^H1984 in holy^H6944 array^H1927, as they went out^H3318 before^H6440 the army^H2502, and say^H559, Give thanks^H3034 unto Jehovah^H3068; for his lovingkindness^H2617 endureth for ever^H5769. 22And when^H6256 they began^H2490 to sing^H7440 and to praise^H8416, Jehovah^H3068 set^H5414 liers-in-wait^H693 against the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, Moab^H4124, and mount^H2022 Seir^H8165, that were come^H935 against Judah^H3063; and they were smitten^H5062. 23For the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983 and Moab^H4124 stood up^H5975 against the inhabitants^H3427 of mount^H2022 Seir^H8165, utterly to slay^H2763 and destroy^H8045 them: and when they had made an end^H3615 of the inhabitants^H3427 of Seir^H8165, every one^H376 helped^H5826 to destroy^H4889 another^H7453. 24And when Judah^H3063 came^H935 to the watch-tower^H4707 of the wilderness^H4057, they looked^H6437 upon the multitude^H1995; and, behold, they were dead bodies^H6297 fallen^H5307 to the earth^H776, and there were none that escaped^H6413. 25And when Jehoshaphat^H3092 and his people^H5971 came^H935 to take^H962 the spoil^H7998 of them, they found^H4672 among them in abundance^H7230 both riches^H7399 and dead bodies^H6297, and precious^H2532 jewels^H3627, which they stripped off^H5337 for themselves, more than^H369 they could carry away^H4853: and they were three^H7969 days^H3117 in taking^H962 the spoil^H7998, it was so much^H7227. 26And on the fourth^H7243 day^H3117 they assembled^H6950 themselves in the valley^H6010 of Beracah^H1294; for there they blessed^H1288 Jehovah^H3068: therefore the name^H8034 of that place^H4725 was called^H7121 The valley^H6010 of Beracah^H1294 unto this day^H3117. 27Then they returned^H7725, every man^H376 of Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389, and Jehoshaphat^H3092 in the forefront^H7218 of them, to go again^H7725 to Jerusalem^H3389 with joy^H8057; for Jehovah^H3068 had made them to rejoice^H8055 over their enemies^H341. 28And they came^H935 to Jerusalem^H3389 with psalteries^H5035 and harps^H3658 and trumpets^H2689 unto the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068. 29And the fear^H6343 of God^H430 was on all the kingdoms^H4467 of the countries^H776, when they heard^H8085 that Jehovah^H3068 fought^H3898 against the enemies^H341 of Israel^H3478. 30So the realm^H4438 of Jehoshaphat^H3092 was quiet^H8252; for his God^H430 gave him rest^H5117 round about^H5439. 31And Jehoshaphat^H3092 reigned^H4427 over Judah^H3063: he was thirty^H7970 and five^H2568 years^H8141 old^H1121 when he began to reign^H4427; and he reigned^H4427 twenty^H6242 and five^H2568 years^H8141 in Jerusalem^H3389: and his mother's^H517 name^H8034 was Azubah^H5806 the daughter^H1323 of Shilhi^H7977. 32And he walked^H3212 in the way^H1870 of Asa^H609 his father^H1, and turned^H5493 not aside from it, doing^H6213 that which was right^H3477 in the eyes^H5869 of Jehovah^H3068. 33Howbeit the high places^H1116 were not taken away^H5493; neither as yet had the people^H5971 set^H3559 their hearts^H3824 unto the God^H430 of their fathers^H1. 34Now the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Jehoshaphat^H3092, first^H7223 and last^H314, behold, they are written^H3789 in the history^H1697 of Jehu^H3058 the son^H1121 of Hanani^H2607, which is inserted^H5927 in the book^H5612 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478. 35And after^H310 this did Jehoshaphat^H3092 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 join^H2266 himself with Ahaziah^H274 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478; the same did^H6213 very wickedly^H7561: 36and he joined^H2266 himself with him to make^H6213 ships^H591 to go^H3212 to Tarshish^H8659; and they made^H6213 the ships^H591 in Ezion-geber^H6100. 37Then Eliezer^H461 the son^H1121 of Dodavahu^H1735 of Mareshah^H4762 prophesied^H5012 against Jehoshaphat^H3092, saying^H559, Because thou hast joined^H2266 thyself with Ahaziah^H274, Jehovah^H3068 hath destroyed^H6555 thy works^H4639. And the ships^H591 were broken^H6555, so that they were not able^H6113 to go^H3212 to Tarshish^H8659.
