And it happened after this that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, along with others besides the Ammonites, came to battle against Jehoshaphat.

And Jehoshaphat feared, and set his face to seek Jehovah, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

And Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court,

Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the seed of Abraham Your friend forever?

If evil comes upon us; sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine; we will stand before this house and before Your face (for Your name is in this house), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.

Behold, they are rewarding us by coming to drive us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit.

Now all Judah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children, were standing before Jehovah.

And he said, Give attention, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, O King Jehoshaphat. Thus says Jehovah to you: Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.

You shall not fight in this battle. Station yourselves, stand your ground and see the salvation of Jehovah for you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out before them, for Jehovah is with you.

And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to plunder the spoils, they found among them an abundance of property on the corpses, with precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days plundering the spoils because there was so much.

Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at the head of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them rejoice over their enemies.

And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that Jehovah had fought against the enemies of Israel.

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples devise a vain thing?

The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Jehovah and against His anointed, saying,

For lo, Your enemies roar; and those who hate You have lifted up their head.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites;

Suffer evil, O people, and be broken! Give ear, all you from distant lands. Gird yourselves and be broken. Gird yourselves and be broken!

Do not say, A conspiracy! to everything which this people calls, A conspiracy! And do not be afraid with their fear, nor be terrified.

Indeed, they shall surely gather together, but not by Me; whoever shall gather against you, by you he shall fall.

Proclaim this among the nations: Consecrate a war; wake up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.

Assemble yourselves and come, all you nations; and gather yourselves together all around. O Jehovah, bring down Your mighty ones.

Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down, for the press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.

The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers themselves were gathered against the Lord and against His Christ.

to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.
