King James Version
And
it cometh
to pass after this, the sons
of Moab have
come
in
, and the sons
of Ammon, and with them of
the peoples
, against Jehoshaphat to battle.
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.
And
they
come
in
and
declare
to
Jehoshaphat, saying, `Come
against
thee
hath
a great multitude from beyond the sea ,
from
Aram,
and lo
, they `are'
in Hazezon-Tamar
--
it
`
is '
En-Gedi
. '
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 feareth
, and setteth
his
face
to seek to
Jehovah
, and proclaimeth
a fast over
all Judah ;
And Jehoshaphat feared
, and set
himself
to seek the
LORD
, and proclaimed
a fast throughout
all Judah .
and Judah is
gathered to inquire
of Jehovah;
also,
from
all the cities of Judah they have
come
in
to seek Jehovah
.
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 standeth
in the assembly
of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah,
at
the front
of
the new court,
And Jehoshaphat stood
in the congregation
of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD,
before
the new court,
and saith
, `
O Jehovah,
God of our fathers, art not Thou --
God in the
heavens
? yea,
Thou art
ruling
over all kingdoms of the nations,
and in Thy
hand `
is '
power and might, and
there
is
none with
Thee
to station
himself.
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 ?
Thou
hast
dispossessed
the inhabitants of this land from
before Thy people Israel, and dost
give
it to the seed of Abraham Thy friend to
the
age,
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 dwell
in
it
, and build
to
Thee in
it
a sanctuary for Thy name, saying,
And they dwelt
therein
, and have
built
thee a sanctuary therein
for thy name, saying,
If evil doth
come
upon us --
sword, judgment, and
pestilence, and
famine --
we stand before this house, and before
Thee
, for Thy name `
is '
in this house, and cry unto Thee out
of
our distress
, and
Thou dost
hear and save
.
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, lo
, sons
of Ammon ,
and Moab ,
and mount Seir, whom Thou didst
not grant
to
Israel to
go
in
against
in
their
coming
out of the land of Egypt, for
they turned aside
from off
them and destroyed them not ,
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 ;
and
lo
, they are
recompensing
to
us --
to come in
to drive
us out of Thy possession, that
Thou hast caused
us to possess
.
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, dost
Thou not execute
judgment
upon
them? for there
is
no power
in
us
before
this great multitude
that hath
come
against us ,
and
we
know not
what
we do ,
but on
Thee
`are'
our eyes. '
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 are
standing
before Jehovah
, also
their infants
, their wives, and their sons
.
And all Judah stood
before the
LORD
, with
their little
ones
, their wives, and their children
.
And
upon Jahaziel ,
son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, the
Levite ,
of the sons of Asaph, hath
the Spirit of Jehovah
been,
in the midst of the assembly,
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 saith
, `Attend
, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and O
king Jehoshaphat, Thus said
Jehovah
to
you, Ye
fear
not ,
nor
are
afraid of
the
face
of this great multitude ,
for
not
for you
`is'
the battle, but for
God
.
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 ,
lo
, they are
coming
up by the ascent
of Ziz ,
and ye have
found
them in
the end of the valley
, the
front
of
the wilderness of Jeruel.
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.
Not for
you
to fight in this ;
station
yourselves, stand, and see the salvation of Jehovah
with you, O Judah and Jerusalem --
be
not afraid
nor fear
ye
--
to -
morrow go out before
them ,
and
Jehovah
`is'
with you. '
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 boweth
--
face to the earth
--
and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have
fallen
before Jehovah
, to
bow
themselves
to
Jehovah
.
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 sons
of the Kohathites, and of the sons
of the Korhites, rise
to give
praise to
Jehovah,
God of Israel ,
with a loud voice on high.
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 rise
early in the morning, and go
out
to
the wilderness of Tekoa ,
and in
their
going
out
Jehoshaphat hath
stood and saith
, `
Hear me, O Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
remain
stedfast
in Jehovah
your God, and
be stedfast
; remain
stedfast
in
His prophets, and
prosper. '
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 he taketh
counsel
with the people, and
appointeth
singers to
Jehovah
, and those
giving
praise to
the honour
of holiness, in
the
going
out before the armed
`men'
, and saying,
`Give
ye
thanks
to Jehovah
, for
to
the age
`is'
His kindness
. '
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
.
And at
the
time
they have
begun
with
singing
and praise, Jehovah
hath
put
ambushments against the sons
of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who
are
coming
in
to
Judah ,
and they are
smitten ,
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 .
and
the sons
of Ammon stand
up,
and Moab ,
against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to devote
and to
destroy ,
and at
their
finishing
with
the inhabitants of Seir, they
helped ,
a
man
against
his
neighbour,
to destroy.
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
.
And Judah hath
come
in
unto
the watch -
tower ,
to
the wilderness, and
they look
unto the multitude, and lo
, they `are'
carcases
fallen to the earth, and there
is
none escaped ,
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 Jehoshaphat cometh
in,
and his people ,
to seize
their
spoil, and
they find
among them ,
in abundance ,
both goods
and
carcases
, and desirable
vessels
, and
they take
spoil
to
themselves without
prohibition
, and they are
three days seizing
the spoil, for
it `is'
abundant
.
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 have
been
assembled at
the valley of Blessing,
for there they blessed Jehovah
: therefore they
have
called
the name of that
place, `
Valley of Blessing
, '
unto this day.
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.
And
they turn
back
, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at
their
head
, to go back
unto
Jerusalem with joy ,
for Jehovah
hath
made them rejoice over their enemies.
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 come
in
to Jerusalem with psalteries ,
and with
harps ,
and with
trumpets ,
unto the house of Jehovah
.
And they came
to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the
LORD
.
And there
is
a
fear of God on all kingdoms of the
lands
in
their
hearing
that Jehovah
hath
fought with
the enemies of Israel ,
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 .
and
the kingdom
of Jehoshaphat is
quiet ,
and
his God giveth
rest
to
him round about.
So
the realm
of Jehoshaphat was
quiet :
for
his God gave
him rest
round about.
And Jehoshaphat reigneth
over Judah ,
a
son
of
thirty and five years in
his
reigning
, and twenty and five years he
hath
reigned
in Jerusalem ,
and the
name
of
his mother
`is'
Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
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 walketh
in the way of his father Asa
, and hath
not turned
aside
from it, to
do
that which is
right in the eyes
of Jehovah
.
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
.
Only,
the high places have
not turned
aside,
and
still
the people have
not prepared their heart
for
the God of their fathers.
Howbeit
the high places were
not taken
away:
for
as
yet
the people had
not prepared their hearts
unto
the God of their fathers.
And
the rest of the matters
of Jehoshaphat, the
first and the
last, lo
, they are written among
the matters
of Jehu son of Hanani, who hath
been
mentioned on
the book of the kings of Israel.
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 hath
Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined
himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, (he
did wickedly in
`so'
doing),
And after this did
Jehoshaphat king of Judah join
himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who
did very
wickedly :
and he joineth
him
with
himself to make ships to go to Tarshish ,
and they make
ships in Ezion-Geber,
And he joined
himself with
him
to make ships to go to Tarshish :
and they made
the
ships in Eziongaber.
and
prophesy
doth
Eliezer son of Dodavah ,
of Mareshah ,
against Jehoshaphat, saying, `For
thy
joining
thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah
hath broken up
thy works ;'
and the ships are
broken, and
have
not retained
`power'
to go unto
Tarshish.
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.
