2 Chronicles 20:3-30

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>_.
