3 Jehoshaphat was afraid, and he resolved 20:3 2Ch 19:3 to seek the Lord. Then he proclaimed a fast 20:3 1Sm 7:6; Ezr 8:21 for all Judah, 4 who gathered to seek the Lord. They even came from all the cities of Judah to seek him.
15 and he said, "Listen carefully, all Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat. This is what the Lord says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast number, 20:15 Ex 14:13; 2Ch 32:7–8 for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 20:15 1Sm 17:47; 2Ch 13:15; 14:1217 You do not have to fight this battle. Position yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. 20:17 Ex 14:13–14 He is with you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. 20:17 Jos 1:9 Tomorrow, go out to face them, for the Lord is with you.’ " 20:17 2Ch 15:2
22 The moment they began their shouts and praises, the Lord set an ambush 20:22 2Ch 13:13 against the Ammonites, Moabites, and the inhabitants of Mount Seir who came to fight against Judah, and they were defeated.
