Chapter 20
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.
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
be
in
Hazazon-tamar,
which
is
En-gedi.
3
And
Jehoshaphat
feared,
and
set
himself
to
seek
the
Lord,
and
proclaimed
a
fast
throughout
all
Judah.
4
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.
5
And
Jehoshaphat
stood
in
the
congregation
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
in
the
house
of
the
Lord,
before
the
new
court,
6
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?
7
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?
8
And
they
dwelt
therein,
and
have
built
thee
a
sanctuary
therein
for
thy
name,
saying,
9
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.
10
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;
11
Behold,
I
say,
how
they
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
are
upon
thee.
13
And
all
Judah
stood
before
the
Lord,
with
their
little
ones,
their
wives,
and
their
children.
14
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;
15
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.
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.
17
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.
18
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.
19
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.
20
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.
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
endureth
for
ever.
22
And
when
they
began
to
sing
and
to
praise,
the
Lord
set
ambushments
against
the
children
of
Ammon,
Moab,
and
mount
Seir,
which
were
come
against
Judah;
and
they
were
smitten.
23
For
the
children
of
Ammon
and
Moab
stood
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.
24
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.
25
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.
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.
27
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.
28
And
they
came
to
Jerusalem
with
psalteries
and
harps
and
trumpets
unto
the
house
of
the
Lord.
29
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.
30
So
the
realm
of
Jehoshaphat
was
quiet:
for
his
God
gave
him
rest
round
about.
31
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.
32
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.
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
are
written
in
the
book
of
Jehu
the
son
of
Hanani,
who
is
mentioned
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Israel.
35
And
after
this
did
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Judah
join
himself
with
Ahaziah
king
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
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.
