2 Chronicles 20:15

20:15 He said: “Pay attention, all you people of Judah, ¹  residents of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Don’t be afraid and don’t panic ²  because of this huge army! For the battle is not yours, but God’s.

2 Chronicles 20:17

20:17 You will not fight in this battle. Take your positions, stand, and watch the Lord deliver you, ³  O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! ⁴  Tomorrow march out toward them; the Lord is with you!’”

¹ tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “you people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah. Unlike the previous instance in v. 13 where infants, wives, and children are mentioned separately, this reference appears to include them all.

² tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”

³ tn Heb “the deliverance of the Lord with you.”

⁴ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”
