2 Chronicles 20 And it comes to pass after this, the sons of Moab have come in, and the sons of Ammon, and with them of the peoples, against Jehoshaphat to battle.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And it comes to pass after this, the sons of Moab have come in, and the sons of Ammon, and with them of the peoples, against Jehoshaphat to battle. ² And they come in and declare to Jehoshaphat, saying, `Come against you has a great multitude from beyond the sea, from Aram, and lo, they [are] in Hazezon-Tamar--it [is] En-Gedi.. ³ And Jehoshaphat fears, and sets his face to seek to Yahweh, and proclaims a fast over all Judah;" ⁴ and Judah is gathered to inquire of Yahweh; also, from all the cities of Judah they have come in to seek Yahweh. ⁵ And Jehoshaphat stands in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Yahweh, at the front of the new court, ⁶ and said, `O Yahweh, Elohim of our fathers, are not You--Elohim in the heavens? yea, You are ruling over all kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand [is] power and might, and there is none with You to station himself. ⁷ `Are not You our Elohim? You have dispossessed the inhabitants of this land from before Your people Israel, and do give it to the seed of Abraham Your friend to the eon, ⁸ and they dwell in it, and build to You in it a sanctuary for Your name, saying, ⁹ If evil does come upon us--sword, judgment, and pestilence, and famine--we stand before this house, and before You, for Your name [is] in this house, and cry unto You out of our distress, and You do hear and save. ¹⁰ `And now, lo, sons of Ammon, and Moab, and mount Seir, whom You did not grant to Israel to go in against in their coming out of the land of Egypt, for they turned aside from off them and destroyed them not, ¹¹ and lo, they are recompensing to us--to come in to drive us out of Your possession, that You have caused us to possess. ¹² `O our Elohim, do You not execute judgment upon them? for there is no power in us before this great multitude that has come against us, and we know not what we do, but on You [are] our eyes.. ¹³ And all Judah are standing before Yahweh, also their infants, their wives, and their sons. ¹⁴ And upon Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, has the Spirit of Yahweh been, in the midst of the assembly, ¹⁵ and he said, `Attend, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and O king Jehoshaphat, Thus said Yahweh to you, You fear not, nor are afraid of the face of this great multitude, for not for you [is] the battle, but for Elohim. ¹⁶ To-morrow, go you down against them, lo, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz, and you have found them in the end of the valley, the front of the wilderness of Jeruel. ¹⁷ Not for you to fight in this; station yourselves, stand, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem--be not afraid nor fear you--to-morrow go out before them, and Yahweh [is] with you.. ¹⁸ And Jehoshaphat bows--face to the earth--and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have fallen before Yahweh, to bow themselves to Yahweh. ¹⁹ And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korhites, rise to give praise to Yahweh, Elohim of Israel, with a loud voice on high. ²⁰ And they rise early in the morning, and go out to the wilderness of Tekoa, and in their going out Jehoshaphat has stood and said, `Hear me, O Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, remain stedfast in Yahweh your Elohim, and be stedfast; remain stedfast in His prophets, and prosper.. ²¹ And he takes counsel with the people, and appoints singers to Yahweh, and those giving praise to the honor of holiness, in the going out before the armed [men], and saying, `Give you thanks to Yahweh, for to the eon [is] His kindness.. ²² And at the time they have begun with singing and praise, Yahweh has put ambushments against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who are coming in to Judah, and they are smitten, ²³ and the sons of Ammon stand up, and Moab, against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, and at their finishing with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped, a man against his neighbor, to destroy. ²⁴ And Judah has come in unto the watch-tower, to the wilderness, and they look unto the multitude, and lo, they [are] carcases fallen to the earth, and there is none escaped, ²⁵ and Jehoshaphat comes in, and his people, to seize their spoil, and they find among them, in abundance, both goods and carcases, and desirable vessels, and they take spoil to themselves without prohibition, and they are three days seizing the spoil, for it [is] abundant. ²⁶ And on the fourth day they have been assembled at the valley of Blessing, for there they blessed Yahweh:therefore they have called the name of that place, `Valley of Blessing,' unto this day. ²⁷ And they turn back, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go back unto Jerusalem with joy, for Yahweh has made them rejoice over their enemies. ²⁸ And they come in to Jerusalem with psalteries, and with harps, and with trumpets, unto the house of Yahweh. ²⁹ And there is a fear of Elohim on all kingdoms of the lands in their hearing that Yahweh has fought with the enemies of Israel, ³⁰ and the kingdom of Jehoshaphat is quiet, and his Elohim gives rest to him round about. ³¹ And Jehoshaphat reigns over Judah, a son of thirty and five years in his reigning, and twenty and five years he has reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah daughter of Shilhi. ³² And he walks in the way of his father Asa, and has not turned aside from it, to do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh. ³³ Only, the high places have not turned aside, and still the people have not prepared their heart for the Elohim of their fathers. ³⁴ And the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, lo, they are written among the matters of Jehu son of Hanani, who has been mentioned on the book of the kings of Israel. ³⁵ And after this has Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, (he did wickedly in [so] doing), ³⁶ and he joins him with himself to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they make ships in Ezion-Geber, ³⁷ and prophesy does Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, against Jehoshaphat, saying, `For your joining yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has broken up your works;' and the ships are broken, and have not retained [power] to go unto Tarshish.
