Chapter 20
It
came
to
passe
after
this
also,
that
the
children
of
Moab,
and
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
with
them,
other
beside
the
Ammonites,
came
against
Iehoshaphat
to
battell.
2
Then
there
came
some
that
tolde
Iehoshaphat,
saying,
There
commeth
a
great
multitude
against
thee
from
beyond
the
Sea
on
this
side
Syria,
and
behold,
they
bee
in
Hazazon-Tamar,
which
is
En-gedi.
3
And
Iehoshaphat
feared,
and
set
himselfe
to
seeke
the
Lord,
and
proclaimed
a
fast
throughout
all
Iudah.
4
And
Iudah
gathered
themselues
together,
to
aske
helpe
of
the
Lord:
euen
out
of
all
the
cities
of
Iudah
they
came
to
seeke
the
Lord.
5
And
Iehoshaphat
stood
in
the
Congregation
of
Iudah
and
Ierusalem,
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
before
the
new
Court,
6
And
said,
O
Lord
God
of
our
fathers,
art
not
thou
God
in
heauen?
and
rulest
not
thou
ouer
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
driue
out
the
inhabitants
of
this
land
before
thy
people
Israel,
and
gauest
it
to
the
seed
of
Abraham
thy
friend
for
euer?
8
And
they
dwelt
therein,
and
haue
built
thee
a
Sanctuarie
therein
for
thy
Name,
saying,
9
If,
when
euill
commeth
vpon
vs,
as
the
sword,
iudgement,
or
pestilence,
or
famine,
wee
stand
before
this
house,
and
in
thy
presence
(for
thy
Name
is
in
this
house)
and
cry
vnto
thee
in
our
affliction,
then
thou
wilt
heare
&
helpe.
10
And
now
behold,
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
Moab,
and
mount
Seir,
whom
thou
wouldest
not
let
Israel
inuade,
when
they
came
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
but
they
turned
from
them,
and
destroyed
them
not:
11
Beholde,
I
say,
how
they
reward
vs,
to
come
to
cast
vs
out
of
thy
possession,
which
thou
hast
giuen
vs
to
inherit.
12
O
our
God,
wilt
thou
not
iudge
them?
for
wee
haue
no
might
against
this
great
company
that
commeth
against
vs?
neither
know
wee
what
to
doe;
but
our
eyes
are
vpon
thee.
13
And
all
Iudah
stood
before
the
Lord,
with
their
litle
ones,
their
wiues
and
their
children.
14
Then
vpon
Iahaziel
the
sonne
of
Zechariah,
the
sonne
of
Benaiah,
the
sonne
of
Iehiel,
the
sonne
of
Mattaniah,
a
Leuite
of
the
sons
of
Asaph,
came
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
in
the
midst
of
the
Congregation:
15
And
he
said,
Hearken
yee,
all
Iudah,
and
ye
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem,
and
thou
king
Iehoshaphat,
Thus
sayth
the
Lord
vnto
you;
Be
not
afraid,
nor
dismayed
by
reason
of
this
great
multitude;
for
the
battell
is
not
yours,
but
Gods.
16
To
morrow
goe
ye
downe
against
them:
behold,
they
come
vp
by
the
cliffe
of
Ziz,
and
ye
shall
finde
them
at
the
end
of
the
brooke,
before
the
wildernesse
of
Ieruel.
17
Yee
shall
not
neede
to
fight
in
this
battell;
set
your
selues,
stand
yee
still,
and
see
the
saluation
of
the
Lord
with
you,
O
Iudah
and
Ierusalem:
feare
not,
nor
be
dismayed;
to
morow
goe
out
against
them,
for
the
Lord
will
bee
with
you.
18
And
Iehoshaphat
bowed
his
head,
with
his
face
to
the
ground:
and
all
Iudah,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem,
fell
before
the
Lord,
worshipping
the
Lord.
19
And
the
Leuites,
of
the
children
of
the
Kohathites,
and
of
the
children
of
the
Korhites,
stood
vp
to
praise
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
with
a
loude
voice
on
high.
20
And
they
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and
went
foorth
into
the
wildernesse
of
Tekoa:
and
as
they
went
forth,
Iehoshaphat
stood
and
said,
Heare
me,
O
Iudah,
and
yee
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem;
Beleeue
in
the
Lord
your
God,
so
shall
you
be
established;
beleeue
his
Prophets,
so
shall
yee
prosper.
21
And
when
he
had
consulted
with
the
people,
he
appointed
Singers
vnto
the
Lord,
and
that
should
praise
the
beautie
of
holinesse,
as
they
went
out
before
the
armie;
and
to
say,
Praise
the
Lord,
for
his
mercy
endureth
for
euer.
22
And
when
they
beganne
to
sing
and
to
praise,
the
Lord
set
ambushments
against
the
children
of
Ammon,
Moab,
and
mount
Seir,
which
were
come
against
Iudah,
and
they
were
smitten.
23
For
the
children
of
Ammon
and
Moab,
stood
vp
against
the
inhabitants
of
mount
Seir,
vtterly
to
slay
and
destroy
them:
and
when
they
had
made
an
end
of
the
inhabitants
of
Seir,
euery
one
helped
to
destroy
another.
24
And
when
Iudah
came
toward
the
watch-tower
in
the
wildernesse,
they
looked
vnto
the
multitude,
and
behold,
they
were
dead
bodies
fallen
to
the
earth,
and
none
escaped.
25
And
when
Iehoshaphat
and
his
people
came
to
take
away
the
spoile
of
them,
they
found
among
them
in
abundance
both
riches
with
the
dead
bodies,
and
precious
iewels
(which
they
stript
off
for
themselues)
more
then
they
could
cary
away:
and
they
were
three
dayes
in
gathering
of
the
spoile,
it
was
so
much.
26
And
on
the
fourth
day
they
assembled
themselues
in
the
valley
of
Berachah;
for
there
they
blessed
the
Lord:
therfore
the
name
of
the
same
place
was
called
the
valley
of
Berachah
vnto
this
day.
27
Then
they
returned,
euery
man
of
Iudah
and
Ierusalem,
and
Iehoshaphat
in
the
forefront
of
them,
to
go
againe
to
Ierusalem
with
ioy:
for
the
Lord
had
made
them
to
reioyce
ouer
their
enemies.
28
And
they
came
to
Ierusalem
with
Psalteries,
and
harpes,
and
trumpets,
vnto
the
house
of
the
Lord.
29
And
the
feare
of
God
was
on
all
the
kingdoms
of
those
countreys,
when
they
had
heard
that
the
Lord
fought
against
the
enemies
of
Israel.
30
So
the
Realme
of
Iehoshaphat
was
quiet;
for
his
God
gaue
him
rest
round
about.
31
And
Iehoshaphat
reigned
ouer
Iudah:
Hee
was
thirtie
and
fiue
yeeres
olde
when
hee
began
to
reigne,
and
he
reigned
twentie
and
fiue
yeeres
in
Ierusalem:
and
his
mothers
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
vnto
the
God
of
their
fathers.
34
Now
the
rest
of
the
actes
of
Iehoshaphat
first
and
last,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
booke
of
Iehu
the
sonne
of
Hanani;
who
is
mentioned
in
the
booke
of
the
Kings
of
Israel.
35
And
after
this
did
Iehoshaphat
king
of
Iudah
ioine
himselfe
with
Ahaziah
king
of
Israel,
who
did
very
wickedly:
36
And
he
ioyned
himselfe
with
him
to
make
ships
to
goe
to
Tarshish:
and
they
made
the
ships
in
Ezion-Geber.
37
Then
Eliezer
the
sonne
of
Dodanah
of
Mareshah,
prophesied
against
Iehoshaphat,
saying;
Because
thou
hast
ioyned
thy
selfe
with
Ahaziah,
the
Lord
hath
broken
thy
workes:
and
the
ships
were
broken,
that
they
were
not
able
to
goe
to
Tarshish.
