It came to pass after this
also, that the children
of Moab,
and the children
of Ammon,
and with them other beside the Ammonites,
came
against Jehoshaphat
to battle.
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 be in Hazazontamar,
which is Engedi.

And Jehoshaphat
feared,
and set
himself
to seek
the LORD,
and proclaimed
a fast
throughout
all Judah.
And Judah
gathered themselves together,
to ask
help of the LORD:
even out of all the cities
of Judah
they came
to seek
the LORD.
And Jehoshaphat
stood
in the congregation
of Judah
and Jerusalem,
in the house
of the LORD,
before
the new
court,
And said,
O LORD
God
of our fathers,
art not thou God
in heaven?
and rulest
not thou over all the kingdoms
of the heathen?
and in thine hand
is there not power
and might,
so that none is able to withstand
thee?

Art not thou our God,
who didst drive out
the inhabitants
of this land
before
thy people
Israel,
and gavest
it to the seed
of Abraham
thy friend
for ever?
And they dwelt
therein, and have built
thee a sanctuary
therein for thy name,
saying,
If, when evil
cometh
upon us, as the sword,
judgment,
or pestilence,
or famine,
we stand
before
this house,
and in thy presence,
(for thy name
is in this house,
) and cry
unto thee in our affliction,
then thou wilt hear
and help.
And now, behold, the children
of Ammon
and Moab
and 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;

Behold, I say, how they reward
us, to come
to cast us out
of thy possession,
which thou hast given us to inherit.
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
are upon thee.

And all Judah
stood
before
the LORD,
with
their little ones,
their wives,
and their children.
Then upon Jahaziel
the 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 LORD
in the midst
of the congregation;

And he said,
Hearken
ye, all Judah,
and ye inhabitants
of Jerusalem,
and thou king
Jehoshaphat,
Thus saith
the LORD
unto you, Be not afraid
nor dismayed
by reason
of this great
multitude;
for the battle
is not yours, but God's.

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.
Ye shall not need to fight
in this
battle: set
yourselves, stand
ye still, and see
the salvation
of the LORD
with you, O Judah
and Jerusalem:
fear
not, nor be dismayed;
to morrow
go out
against
them: for the LORD
will be with you.
And Jehoshaphat
bowed
his head with his face
to the ground:
and all Judah
and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem
fell
before
the LORD,
worshipping
the LORD.
And the Levites,
of the children
of the Kohathites,
and of the children
of the Korhites,
stood up
to praise
the LORD
God
of Israel
with a loud
voice
on high.
And they rose early
in the morning,
and went forth
into the wilderness
of Tekoa:
and as they went forth,
Jehoshaphat
stood
and said,
Hear
me, O Judah,
and ye inhabitants
of Jerusalem;
Believe
in the LORD
your God,
so shall ye be established;
believe
his prophets,
so shall ye prosper.

And when he had consulted
with the people,
he appointed
singers
unto the LORD,
and that should praise
the beauty

as they went out
before

and to say,
Praise
the LORD;
for his mercy
endureth for ever.

which were come

and they were smitten.

And when Judah
came
toward the watch tower
in the wilderness,
they looked
unto the multitude,
and, behold, they were dead bodies
fallen
to the earth,
and none escaped.

And when Jehoshaphat
and 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.

And on the fourth
day
they assembled
themselves in the valley

for there they blessed
the LORD:
therefore the name
of the same place
was called,
The valley

unto this day.

Then they returned,
every man
of Judah
and Jerusalem,
and Jehoshaphat
in the forefront
of them, to go again
to Jerusalem
with joy;
for the LORD
had made them to rejoice
over their enemies.
And they came
to Jerusalem
with psalteries
and harps
and trumpets
unto the house
of the LORD.
And the fear
of God
was on all the kingdoms
of those countries,
when they had heard
that the LORD
fought
against the enemies
of Israel.
So the realm
of Jehoshaphat
was quiet:
for his God
gave him rest
round about.
And Jehoshaphat
reigned
over Judah:
he was thirty
and five
years
old
when he began to reign,
and he reigned
twenty
and five
years
in Jerusalem.
And his mother's
name
was Azubah
the daughter
of Shilhi.

And he walked
in the way
of Asa
his father,
and departed
not from it, doing
that which was right
in the sight
of the LORD.
Howbeit the high places
were not taken away:
for as yet the people
had not prepared
their hearts
unto the God
of their fathers.
Now the rest
of the acts
of Jehoshaphat,
first
and last,
behold, they are written
in the book
of Jehu
the son
of Hanani,
who is mentioned
in the book
of the kings
of Israel.

And after
this did Jehoshaphat
king
of Judah
join
himself with Ahaziah
king
of Israel,
who did
very wickedly:
And he joined
himself with him to make
ships
to go
to Tarshish:
and they made
the ships
in Eziongeber.
Then Eliezer
the son
of Dodavah
of Mareshah
prophesied
against Jehoshaphat,
saying,
Because thou hast joined
thyself with Ahaziah,
the LORD
hath broken
thy works.
And the ships
were broken,
that they were not able
to go
to Tarshish.
