2 Chronicles 20:1-37

It came to pass after this
<0310>

also, [that] the children
<01121>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and with them [other] beside the Ammonites
<05984>_,

came
<0935> (8804)

against Jehoshaphat
<03092>

to battle
<04421>_.

Then there came
<0935> (8799)

some that told
<05046> (8686)

Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

There cometh
<0935> (8802)

a great
<07227>

multitude
<01995>

against thee from beyond
<05676>

the sea
<03220>

on this side Syria
<0758>_;

and, behold, they [be] in Hazazontamar
<02688>_,

which [is] Engedi
<05872>_.

And Jehoshaphat
<03092>

feared
<03372> (8799)_,

and set
<05414> (8799)

himself
<06440>

to seek
<01875> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and proclaimed
<07121> (8799)

a fast
<06685>

throughout
<05921>

all Judah
<03063>_.

{himself: Heb. his face}

And Judah
<03063>

gathered themselves together
<06908> (8735)_,

to ask
<01245> (8763)

[help] of the LORD
<03068>_:

even out of all the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

they came
<0935> (8804)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

the LORD
<03068>_.

And Jehoshaphat
<03092>

stood
<05975> (8799)

in the congregation
<06951>

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

before
<06440>

the new
<02319>

court
<02691>_,

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of our fathers
<01>_,

[art] not thou God
<0430>

in heaven
<08064>_?

and rulest
<04910> (8802)

[not] thou over all the kingdoms
<04467>

of the heathen
<01471>_?

and in thine hand
<03027>

[is there not] power
<03581>

and might
<01369>_,

so that none is able to withstand
<03320> (8692)

thee?

[Art] not thou our God
<0430>_,

[who] didst drive out
<03423> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of this land
<0776>

before
<06440>

thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and gavest
<05414> (8799)

it to the seed
<02233>

of Abraham
<085>

thy friend
<0157> (8802)

for ever
<05769>_?

{who: Heb. thou}

And they dwelt
<03427> (8799)

therein, and have built
<01129> (8799)

thee a sanctuary
<04720>

therein for thy name
<08034>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If, [when] evil
<07451>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

upon us, [as] the sword
<02719>_,

judgment
<08196>_,

or pestilence
<01698>_,

or famine
<07458>_,

we stand
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

this house
<01004>_,

and in thy presence
<06440>_,

(for thy name
<08034>

[is] in this house
<01004>,)

and cry
<02199> (8799)

unto thee in our affliction
<06869>_,

then thou wilt hear
<08085> (8799)

and help
<03467> (8686)_.

And now, behold, the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

and Moab
<04124>

and mount
<02022>

Seir
<08165>_,

whom thou wouldest not let
<05414> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

invade
<0935> (8800)_,

when they came out
<0935> (8800)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

but they turned
<05493> (8804)

from them, and destroyed
<08045> (8689)

them not;

Behold, [I say, how] they reward
<01580> (8802)

us, to come
<0935> (8800)

to cast us out
<01644> (8763)

of thy possession
<03425>_,

which thou hast given us to inherit
<03423> (8689)_.

O our God
<0430>_,

wilt thou not judge
<08199> (8799)

them? for we have no might
<03581>

against
<06440>

this great
<07227>

company
<01995>

that cometh
<0935> (8802)

against us; neither know
<03045> (8799)

we
<0587>

what to do
<06213> (8799)_:

but our eyes
<05869>

[are] upon thee.

And all Judah
<03063>

stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

with
<01571>

their little ones
<02945>_,

their wives
<0802>_,

and their children
<01121>_.

Then upon Jahaziel
<03166>

the son
<01121>

of Zechariah
<02148>_,

the son
<01121>

of Benaiah
<01141>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jeiel
<03273>_,

the son
<01121>

of Mattaniah
<04983>_,

a Levite
<03881>

of the sons
<01121>

of Asaph
<0623>_,

came the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

in the midst
<08432>

of the congregation
<06951>_;

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hearken
<07181> (8685)

ye, all Judah
<03063>_,

and ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and thou king
<04428>

Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

unto you, Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

nor dismayed
<02865> (8735)

by reason
<06440>

of this great
<07227>

multitude
<01995>_;

for the battle
<04421>

[is] not yours, but God's
<0430>_.

To morrow
<04279>

go ye down
<03381> (8798)

against them: behold, they come up
<05927> (8802)

by the cliff
<04608>

of Ziz
<06732>_;

and ye shall find
<04672> (8804)

them at the end
<05490>

of the brook
<05158>_,

before
<06440>

the wilderness
<04057>

of Jeruel
<03385>_.

{cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}

Ye shall not [need] to fight
<03898> (8736)

in this
<02063>

[battle]: set
<03320> (8690)

yourselves, stand
<05975> (8798)

ye [still], and see
<07200> (8798)

the salvation
<03444>

of the LORD
<03068>

with you, O Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_:

fear
<03372> (8799)

not, nor be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_;

to morrow
<04279>

go out
<03318> (8798)

against
<06440>

them: for the LORD
<03068>

[will be] with you.

And Jehoshaphat
<03092>

bowed
<06915> (8799)

his head with [his] face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_:

and all Judah
<03063>

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

fell
<05307> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

worshipping
<07812> (8692)

the LORD
<03068>_.

And the Levites
<03881>_,

of the children
<01121>

of the Kohathites
<06956>_,

and of the children
<01121>

of the Korhites
<07145>_,

stood up
<06965> (8799)

to praise
<01984> (8763)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>

on high
<04605>_.

And they rose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and went forth
<03318> (8799)

into the wilderness
<04057>

of Tekoa
<08620>_:

and as they went forth
<03318> (8800)_,

Jehoshaphat
<03092>

stood
<05975> (8804)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

me, O Judah
<03063>_,

and ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_;

Believe
<0539> (8685)

in the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

so shall ye be established
<0539> (8735)_;

believe
<0539> (8685)

his prophets
<05030>_,

so shall ye prosper
<06743> (8685)_.

And when he had consulted
<03289> (8735)

with the people
<05971>_,

he appointed
<05975> (8686)

singers
<07891> (8789)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and that should praise
<01984> (8764)

the beauty
<01927>

of holiness
<06944>_,

as they went out
<03318> (8800)

before
<06440>

the army
<02502> (8803)_,

and to say
<0559> (8802)_,

Praise
<03034> (8685)

the LORD
<03068>_;

for his mercy
<02617>

[endureth] for ever
<05769>_.

{that...: Heb. praisers}

And when
<06256>

they began
<02490> (8689)

to sing
<07440>

and to praise
<08416>_,

the LORD
<03068>

set
<05414> (8804)

ambushments
<0693> (8764)

against the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

Moab
<04124>_,

and mount
<02022>

Seir
<08165>_,

which were come
<0935> (8802)

against Judah
<03063>_;

and they were smitten
<05062> (8735)_.

{And when...: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing...: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were...: or, they smote one another}

For the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

and Moab
<04124>

stood up
<05975> (8799)

against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of mount
<02022>

Seir
<08165>_,

utterly to slay
<02763> (8687)

and destroy
<08045> (8687)

[them]: and when they had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Seir
<08165>_,

every one
<0376>

helped
<05826> (8804)

to destroy
<04889>

another
<07453>_.

{to destroy: Heb. for the destruction}

And when Judah
<03063>

came
<0935> (8804)

toward the watch tower
<04707> (8677) <04708>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

they looked
<06437> (8799)

unto the multitude
<01995>_,

and, behold, they [were] dead bodies
<06297>

fallen
<05307> (8802)

to the earth
<0776>_,

and none escaped
<06413>_.

{none...: Heb. there was not an escaping}

And when Jehoshaphat
<03092>

and his people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

to take away
<0962> (8800)

the spoil
<07998>

of them, they found
<04672> (8799)

among them in abundance
<07230>

both riches
<07399>

with the dead bodies
<06297>_,

and precious
<02532>

jewels
<03627>_,

which they stripped off
<05337> (8762)

for themselves, more than
<0369>

they could carry away
<04853>_:

and they were three
<07969>

days
<03117>

in gathering
<0962> (8802)

of the spoil
<07998>_,

it was so much
<07227>_.

And on the fourth
<07243>

day
<03117>

they assembled
<06950> (8738)

themselves in the valley
<06010>

of Berachah
<01294>_;

for there they blessed
<01288> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore the name
<08034>

of the same place
<04725>

was called
<07121> (8804)_,

The valley
<06010>

of Berachah
<01294>_,

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Berachah: that is, blessing}

Then they returned
<07725> (8799)_,

every man
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and Jehoshaphat
<03092>

in the forefront
<07218>

of them, to go again
<07725> (8800)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

with joy
<08057>_;

for the LORD
<03068>

had made them to rejoice
<08055> (8765)

over their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

{forefront: Heb. head}

And they came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

with psalteries
<05035>

and harps
<03658>

and trumpets
<02689>

unto the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And the fear
<06343>

of God
<0430>

was on all the kingdoms
<04467>

of [those] countries
<0776>_,

when they had heard
<08085> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

fought
<03898> (8738)

against the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of Israel
<03478>_.

So the realm
<04438>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

was quiet
<08252> (8799)_:

for his God
<0430>

gave him rest
<05117> (8799)

round about
<05439>_.

And Jehoshaphat
<03092>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

over Judah
<03063>_:

[he was] thirty
<07970>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

twenty
<06242>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Azubah
<05806>

the daughter
<01323>

of Shilhi
<07977>_.

And he walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of Asa
<0609>

his father
<01>_,

and departed
<05493> (8804)

not from it, doing
<06213> (8800)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

Howbeit the high places
<01116>

were not taken away
<05493> (8804)_:

for as yet the people
<05971>

had not prepared
<03559> (8689)

their hearts
<03824>

unto the God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_.

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

first
<07223>

and last
<0314>_,

behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<01697>

of Jehu
<03058>

the son
<01121>

of Hanani
<02607>_,

who [is] mentioned
<05927> (8717)

in the book
<05612>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{book of Jehu: Heb. words, etc} {is mentioned: Heb. was made to ascend}

And after
<0310>

this did Jehoshaphat
<03092>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

join
<02266> (8694)

himself with Ahaziah
<0274>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

who did
<06213> (8800)

very wickedly
<07561> (8689)_:

And he joined
<02266> (8762)

himself with him to make
<06213> (8800)

ships
<0591>

to go
<03212> (8800)

to Tarshish
<08659>_:

and they made
<06213> (8799)

the ships
<0591>

in Eziongeber
<06100>_.

Then Eliezer
<0461>

the son
<01121>

of Dodavah
<01735>

of Mareshah
<04762>

prophesied
<05012> (8691)

against Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Because thou hast joined
<02266> (8692)

thyself with Ahaziah
<0274>_,

the LORD
<03068>

hath broken
<06555> (8804)

thy works
<04639>_.

And the ships
<0591>

were broken
<07665> (8735)_,

that they were not able
<06113> (8804)

to go
<03212> (8800)

to Tarshish
<08659>_.
