1: And it happenedH1961 after thisH0310 [that] cameH0935 the sonsH1121 of Moab,H4124 and with the sonsH1121 of Ammon,H5983 and with themH5973 [others] besides the Ammonites,H5984 againstH5921 JehoshaphatH3092 to battle.H4421
2: And some cameH0935 and toldH5046 Jehoshaphat,H3092 saying,H0559 is comingH0935 against youH5921 a multitudeH1995 greatH7227 from beyondH5676 the seaH3220 from SyriaH0758 and they are,H2009 in Hazezon Tamar,H2688 that [is]H1931 En Gedi.H5872
3: And feared,H3372 and setH5414 JehoshaphatH3092 -H0853 himselfH6440 to seekH1875 Yahweh,H3068 and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH5921 allH3605 Judah.H3063

6: And said,H0559 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of our fathers,H0001 notH3808 YouH0859 areH1931 GodH0430 in heaven?H8064 and YouH0859 do [not] ruleH4910 over allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the nations?H1471 and in Your handH3027 [is there not] powerH3581 and might,H1369 so that no one is ableH0369 YouH5973 to withstand.H3320
7: [Are] notH3808 YouH0859 our God,H0430 [who] drove outH3423 -H0853 the inhabitantsH3427 of landH0776 thisH2063 beforeH6440 Your peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 and gave itH5414 to the descendantsH2233 of AbrahamH0085 Your friendH0157 forever?H5769
8: and they dwellH3427 and have builtH1129 a sanctuaryH4720 for Your name,H8034 saying,H0559
9: if,H0518 comesH0935 upon usH5921 disasterH7451 sword,H2719 judgment,H8196 and pestilence,H1698 or famine,H7458 we will standH5975 beforeH6440 temple,H1004 thisH2088 and in Your presence,H6440 forH3588 Your name [is]H8034 in templeH1004 thisH2088 and cry outH2199 to YouH0413 in our affliction,H6869 and You will hearH8085 and save.H3467
10: Now,H6258 here are,H2009 the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and MountH2022 Seir,H8165 whomH0834 notH3808 You would letH5414 IsraelH3478 invade,H0935 when they cameH0935 out of the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 butH3588 they turnedH5493 from themH5921 and not-H3808 did destroy them.H8045
11: And here are,H2009 theyH1992 rewardingH1580 usH5921 by comingH0935 to throw us outH1644 of Your possession,H3425 whichH0834 You have given us to inherit.H3423

13: And allH3605 JudahH3063 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 withH1571 their little ones,H2945 their wives,H0802 and their children.H1121
14: And JahazielH3166 sonH1121 of Zechariah,H2148 the sonH1121 of Benaiah,H1141 the sonH1121 of Jeiel,H3273 the sonH1121 of Mattaniah,H4983 a LeviteH3881 ofH4480 the sonsH1121 of Asaph,H0623 cameH1961 uponH5921 the SpiritH7307 of YahwehH3068 in the midstH8432 of the assembly-H6951
15: and he said,H0559 Listen youH7181 allH3605 of Judah,H3063 and you inhabitantsH3427 of Jerusalem,H3389 and you KingH4428 Jehoshaphat,H3092 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 youH0859 notH0408 do be afraidH3372 norH0408 dismayedH2865 becauseH6440 of multitude-H1995 greatH7227 thisH2088 forH3588 notH3808 the battle [is]H4421 butH3588 God's.H0430
16: TomorrowH4279 go downH3381 against themH5921 surelyH2005 they will come upH5927 by AscentH4608 of the Ziz-H6732 and you will findH4672 themH0853 at the endH5490 of the brook,H5158 beforeH6440 the WildernessH4057 of Jeruel.H3385
17: NotH3808 to will [need] fightH3898 in this [battle ]H2063 Position yourselves,H3320 stand stillH5975 and seeH7200 -H0853 the salvationH3444 of YahwehH3068 who is with youH5973 JudahH3063 and Jerusalem-H3389 not,H0408 do fearH3372 orH0408 be dismayed-H2865 tomorrowH4279 go outH3318 against themH6440 for Yahweh [is]H3068 with you.H5973
18: And bowed his headH6915 JehoshaphatH3092 with [his] faceH0639 to the ground,H0776 and allH3605 JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 bowedH5307 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 worshipingH7812 Yahweh.H3068
19: And stood upH6965 the Levites,H3881 ofH4480 the sonsH1121 of the Kohathites,H6956 andH4480 of the sonsH1121 of the Korahites,H7145 to praiseH1984 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of IsraelH3478 with voicesH6963 loudH1419 and high.H4605
20: So they rose earlyH7925 in the morning,H1242 and went outH3318 into the WildernessH4057 of Tekoa-H8620 and as they went out,H3318 stoodH5975 JehoshaphatH3092 and said,H0559 Hear meH8085 Judah,H3063 and you inhabitantsH3427 of Jerusalem-H3389 BelieveH0539 in YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 and you shall be established-H0539 believeH0539 His prophets,H5030 and you shall prosper.H6743
21: And when he had consultedH3289 withH0413 the people,H5971 and he appointedH5975 those who should singH7891 to Yahweh,H3068 and who should praiseH1984 the beautyH1927 of holiness,H6944 as they went outH3318 beforeH6440 the army,H2502 and were saying,H0559 PraiseH3034 Yahweh-H3068 forH3588 everH5769 His mercy [endures].H2617
22: And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praise,H8416 setH5414 YahwehH3068 ambushesH0693 againstH5921 the sonsH1121 of Ammon,H5983 Moab,H4124 and MountH2022 Seir,H8165 who had comeH0935 against Judah-H3063 and they were defeated.H5062
23: For stood upH5975 the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 againstH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of MountH2022 Seir,H8165 to utterly killH2763 and destroy [them]H8045 and when they had made an endH3615 of the inhabitantsH3427 of Seir,H8165 they helpedH5826 oneH0376 anotherH7453 to destroy.H4889
24: So when JudahH3063 cameH0935 toH5921 a place overlookingH4707 the wilderness,H4057 and they lookedH6437 towardH0413 the multitude,H1995 and there [were] theirH2005 dead bodiesH6297 fallenH5307 on the earth,H0776 and No oneH0369 had escaped.H6413
25: And when cameH0935 JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 to take awayH0962 -H0853 their spoilH7998 and they foundH4672 an abundanceH7230 and of valuablesH7399 and on the dead bodies,H6297 and jewelry,H3627 preciousH2530 and which they stripped offH5337 more thanH0369 they could carry away.H4853 And they wereH1961 daysH3117 threeH7969 gatheringH0962 -H0853 the spoil,H7998 becauseH3588 so muchH7227 it [was].H1931
26: And on the dayH3117 fourthH7243 they assembledH6950 in the ValleyH6010 of Berachah-H1294 forH3588 thereH8033 they blessedH1288 -H0853 Yahweh.H3068 UponH5921 thusH3651 was called,H7121 -H0853 the nameH8034 of placeH4725 thatH1931 the ValleyH6010 of Berachah,H1294 untilH5704 this day.H3117
27: And they returned,H7725 everyH3605 manH0376 of JudahH3063 and Jerusalem,H3389 with JehoshaphatH3092 in front of themH7218 to go backH7725 toH0413 JerusalemH3389 with joy-H8057 forH3588 had made them rejoiceH8055 YahwehH3069 over their enemies.H0341
28: So they cameH0935 to JerusalemH3389 with stringed instrumentsH5035 and harpsH3658 and trumpetsH2689 toH0413 the houseH1004 of Yahweh.H3068
29: And wasH1961 the fearH6343 of GodH0430 onH5921 allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of [those] countries,H0776 when they heardH8085 thatH3588 had foughtH3898 YahwehH3068 againstH5973 the enemiesH0341 of Israel.H3478
30: And was quiet,H8252 the realmH4438 of JehoshaphatH3092 for gave restH5117 his GodH0430 all around.H5439
31: So was kingH4427 JehoshaphatH3092 overH5921 Judah.H3063 OldH1121 thirtyH7970 and [He was] fiveH2568 years oldH8141 when he became king,H4427 and twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 he reignedH4427 in Jerusalem.H3389 And name [was]H8034 of His motherH0517 AzubahH5806 the daughterH1323 of Shilhi.H7977
32: And he walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of his father,H0001 AsaH0609 and notH3808 did turn asideH5493 from itH4480 doing [what was]H6213 rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of Yahweh.H3068
33: NeverthelessH0389 the high placesH1116 notH3808 were taken away-H5493 for as yetH5750 the peopleH5971 notH3808 had directedH3559 their heartsH3824 to the GodH0430 of their fathers.H0001
34: And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Jehoshaphat,H3092 firstH7223 and last,H0314 indeedH2005 they [are] writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of JehuH3058 sonH1121 of Hanani,H2607 whichH0834 [is] mentionedH5927 inH5921 the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of Israel.H3478
35: And after thisH0310 allied himselfH2266 JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 withH5973 AhaziahH0274 kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 heH1931 acted wickedlyH7561 very.H6213
36: And he allied himselfH2266 with himH5973 to makeH6213 shipsH0591 to go toH1980 Tarshish,H8659 and they madeH6213 the shipsH0591 Ezion Geber.H6100
37: But prophesiedH5012 EliezerH0461 sonH1121 of DodavahH1735 of MareshahH4762 againstH5921 Jehoshaphat,H3092 saying,H0559 because you have allied yourselfH2266 withH5973 Ahaziah,H0274 has destroyedH6555 YahwehH3068 -H0853 your works.H4639 And were wrecked,H7665 the shipsH0591 so that notH3808 they were ableH6113 to goH1980 toH0413 Tarshish.H8659
