And the children of Israel continued to do evil before the Lord. And the Lord strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil before the Lord.

And he gathered to himself all the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and struck Israel, and took possession of the City of Palm Trees.

And it came to pass when the children of Israel sowed, that Midian and Amalek went up, and the children of the east went up together with them.

For they and their stock came up, and their tents were with them, as the locust in multitude, and there was no number to them and their camels; and they came to the land of Israel, and laid it waste.

And Zerah the Ethiopian went out against them, with a force of a million, and three hundred chariots; and came to Mareshah.

And it came about after this, [that] the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them [some] of the Mineans, came up against Jehoshaphat to battle.

And they came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, A great multitude is coming against you from Syria, from beyond the sea; and behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar, which is En Gedi.

Moreover among those nations He will not give you quiet, neither by any means shall the sole of your foot have rest; and the Lord shall give you there another and a misgiving heart, and failing eyes, and a wasting soul.

And Samuel said, Why have you troubled me, that I should come up? And Saul said, I am greatly distressed, and the Philistines war against me, and God has departed from me, and no longer hearkens to me either by the hand of the prophets, or by dreams. And now I have called [on] you, to tell me what I shall do.

And in that time there is no peace to one going out, or to one coming in, for the terror of the Lord is upon all that inhabit the land.
