1 It came to pass after this 310 also, that the children 1121 of Moab 4124, and the children 1121 of Ammon 5983, and with them other beside the Ammonites 5984, came 935 against Jehoshaphat 3092 to battle 4421.
2 Then there came 935 some that told 5046 Jehoshaphat 3092, saying 559, There cometh 935 a great 7227 multitude 1995 against thee from beyond 5676 the sea 3220 on this side Syria 758; 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 935 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 559, O LORD 3068 God 430 of our fathers 1, art not thou God 430 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 430, who didst drive out 3423 the inhabitants 3427 of this land 776 before 6440 thy people 5971 Israel 3478, and gavest 5414 it to the seed 2233 of Abraham 85 thy friend 157 for ever 5769?
8 And they dwelt 3427 therein, and have built 1129 thee a sanctuary 4720 therein for thy name 8034, saying 559,
9 If, when evil 7451 cometh 935 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 935, when they came out 935 of the land 776 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 935 to cast us out 1644 of thy possession 3425, which thou hast given us to inherit 3423.
12 O our God 430, wilt thou not judge 8199 them? for we have no might 3581 against 6440 this great 7227 company 1995 that cometh 935 against us; neither know 3045 we 587 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 802, 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 623, came the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 in the midst 8432 of the congregation 6951;
15 And he said 559, Hearken 7181 ye, all Judah 3063, and ye inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389, and thou king 4428 Jehoshaphat 3092, Thus saith 559 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 430.
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 6915 his head with his face 639 to the ground 776: 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 430 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 559, Hear 8085 me, O Judah 3063, and ye inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389; Believe 539 in the LORD 3068 your God 430, so shall ye be established 539; believe 539 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 559, 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 693 against the children 1121 of Ammon 5983, Moab 4124, and mount 2022 Seir 8165, which were come 935 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 376 helped 5826 to destroy 4889 another 7453.
24 And when Judah 3063 came 935 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 776, and none escaped 6413.
25 And when Jehoshaphat 3092 and his people 5971 came 935 to take away 962 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 369 they could carry away 4853: and they were three 7969 days 3117 in gathering 962 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 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 1294, unto this day 3117.
27 Then they returned 7725, every man 376 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 341.
28 And they came 935 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 430 was on all the kingdoms 4467 of those countries 776, when they had heard 8085 that the LORD 3068 fought 3898 against the enemies 341 of Israel 3478.
30 So the realm 4438 of Jehoshaphat 3092 was quiet 8252: for his God 430 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 517 name 8034 was Azubah 5806 the daughter 1323 of Shilhi 7977.
32 And he walked 3212 in the way 1870 of Asa 609 his father 1, 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 430 of their fathers 1.
34 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Jehoshaphat 3092, first 7223 and last 314, 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 310 this did Jehoshaphat 3092 king 4428 of Judah 3063 join 2266 himself with Ahaziah 274 king 4428 of Israel 3478, who did 6213 very wickedly 7561:
36 And he joined 2266 himself with him to make 6213 ships 591 to go 3212 to Tarshish 8659: and they made 6213 the ships 591 in Eziongeber 6100.
37 Then Eliezer 461 the son 1121 of Dodavah 1735 of Mareshah 4762 prophesied 5012 against Jehoshaphat 3092, saying 559, Because thou hast joined 2266 thyself with Ahaziah 274, the LORD 3068 hath broken 6555 thy works 4639. And the ships 591 were broken 7665, that they were not able 6113 to go 3212 to Tarshish 8659.
