3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to 2 Chr. 19:3seek the Lord, and 1 Sam. 7:6; Ezra 8:21; Jer. 36:9; Jon. 3:5proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 4 So Judah gathered together to ask 2 Chr. 14:11help from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.
15 And he said, "Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: Ex. 14:13, 14; (Deut. 1:29, 30; 31:6, 8); 2 Chr. 32:7‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, 1 Sam. 17:47; Zech. 14:3for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 17 Ex. 14:13, 14You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, Num. 14:9; (2 Chr. 15:2; 32:8)for the Lordis with you."
22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, Judg. 7:22; 1 Sam. 14:20the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.
