1 It came to pass after this also, thatthe children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them otherbeside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphatto battle. 2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they bein Hazazon-tamar, which isEn-gedi. 3 And Jehoshaphatfeared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.20.3 himself: Heb. his face4 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask helpof the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
5 And Jehoshaphatstood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court, 6 And said, O LORDGod of our fathers, artnot thou God in heaven? and rulest notthou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there notpower and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? 7 Artnot thou our God, whodidst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abrahamthy friend for ever?20.7 who: Heb. thou8 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, 9 If, whenevil cometh upon us, asthe sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name isin this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help. 10 And now, behold, the children of Ammonand Moaband mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; 11 Behold, I say, howthey reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit. 12 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes areupon thee. 13 And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14 Then upon Jahazielthe son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORDin the midst of the congregation; 15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORDunto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle isnot yours, but God’s. 16 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.20.16 cliff: Heb. ascent20.16 brook: or, valley17 Ye shall not needto fight in this battle:set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORDwith you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORDwill bewith you. 18 And Jehoshaphatbowed his head with hisface to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalemfell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD. 19 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORDGod of Israel with a loud voice on high.
20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphatstood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORDyour God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endurethfor ever.20.21 that…: Heb. praisers
22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORDset ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.20.22 And when…: Heb. And in the time that they, etc20.22 to sing…: Heb. in singing and praise20.22 they were…: or, they smote one another23 For the children of Ammonand Moabstood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them:and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.20.23 to destroy: Heb. for the destruction24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they weredead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.20.24 none…: Heb. there was not an escaping25 And when Jehoshaphatand his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.20.26 Berachah: that is, blessing27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphatin the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalemwith joy; for the LORDhad made them to rejoice over their enemies.20.27 forefront: Heb. head28 And they came to Jerusalemwith psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD. 29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of thosecountries, when they had heard that the LORDfought against the enemies of Israel. 30 So the realm of Jehoshaphatwas quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
31 And Jehoshaphatreigned over Judah: he wasthirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name wasAzubahthe daughter of Shilhi. 32 And he walked in the way of Asahis father, and departed not from it, doing that which wasright in the sight of the LORD. 33 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers. 34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they arewritten in the book of Jehuthe son of Hanani, who ismentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.20.34 book of Jehu: Heb. words, etc20.34 is mentioned: Heb. was made to ascend
35 And after this did Jehoshaphatking of Judah join himself with Ahaziahking of Israel, who did very wickedly: 36 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber. 37 Then Eliezerthe son of Dodavahof Mareshahprophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORDhath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
