2nd Chronicles Chapter 20 - King James Strong Number Version

1: It came to pass after <H0310> this also, [that] the children <H1121> of Moab, <H4124> and the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> and with them [other] beside the Ammonites, <H5984> came <H0935> against Jehoshaphat <H3092> to battle. <H4421>
2: Then there came <H0935> some that told <H5046> Jehoshaphat, <H3092> saying, <H0559> There cometh <H0935> a great <H7227> multitude <H1995> against thee from beyond <H5676> the sea <H3220> on this side Syria; <H0758> and, behold, they [be] in Hazazontamar, <H2688> which [is] Engedi. <H5872>
3: And Jehoshaphat <H3092> feared, <H3372> and set <H5414> himself <H6440> to seek <H1875> the LORD, <H3068> and proclaimed <H7121> a fast <H6685> throughout <H5921> all Judah. <H3063>
4: And Judah <H3063> gathered themselves together, <H6908> to ask <H1245> [help] of the LORD: <H3068> even out of all the cities <H5892> of Judah <H3063> they came <H0935> to seek <H1245> the LORD. <H3068>
5: And Jehoshaphat <H3092> stood <H5975> in the congregation <H6951> of Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem, <H3389> in the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> before <H6440> the new <H2319> court, <H2691>
6: And said, <H0559> O LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of our fathers, <H0001> [art] not thou God <H0430> in heaven? <H8064> and rulest <H4910> [not] thou over all the kingdoms <H4467> of the heathen? <H1471> and in thine hand <H3027> [is there not] power <H3581> and might, <H1369> so that none is able to withstand <H3320> thee?
7: [Art] not thou our God, <H0430> [who] didst drive out <H3423> the inhabitants <H3427> of this land <H0776> before <H6440> thy people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> and gavest <H5414> it to the seed <H2233> of Abraham <H0085> thy friend <H0157> for ever? <H5769>
8: And they dwelt <H3427> therein, and have built <H1129> thee a sanctuary <H4720> therein for thy name, <H8034> saying, <H0559>
9: If, [when] evil <H7451> cometh <H0935> upon us, [as] the sword, <H2719> judgment, <H8196> or pestilence, <H1698> or famine, <H7458> we stand <H5975> before <H6440> this house, <H1004> and in thy presence, <H6440> (for thy name <H8034> [is] in this house,) <H1004> and cry <H2199> unto thee in our affliction, <H6869> then thou wilt hear <H8085> and help. <H3467>
10: And now, behold, the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> and Moab <H4124> and mount <H2022> Seir, <H8165> whom thou wouldest not let <H5414> Israel <H3478> invade, <H0935> when they came <H0935> out of the land <H0776> of Egypt, <H4714> but they turned <H5493> from them, and destroyed <H8045> them not;
11: Behold, [I say, how] they reward <H1580> us, to come <H0935> to cast us out <H1644> of thy possession, <H3425> which thou hast given us to inherit. <H3423>
12: O our God, <H0430> wilt thou not judge <H8199> them? for we have no might <H3581> against <H6440> this great <H7227> company <H1995> that cometh <H0935> against us; neither know <H3045> we <H0587> what to do: <H6213> but our eyes <H5869> [are] upon thee.
13: And all Judah <H3063> stood <H5975> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> with <H1571> their little ones, <H2945> their wives, <H0802> and their children. <H1121>
14: Then upon Jahaziel <H3166> the son <H1121> of Zechariah, <H2148> the son <H1121> of Benaiah, <H1141> the son <H1121> of Jeiel, <H3273> the son <H1121> of Mattaniah, <H4983> a Levite <H3881> of the sons <H1121> of Asaph, <H0623> came the Spirit <H7307> of the LORD <H3068> in the midst <H8432> of the congregation; <H6951>
15: And he said, <H0559> Hearken <H7181> ye, all Judah, <H3063> and ye inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem, <H3389> and thou king <H4428> Jehoshaphat, <H3092> Thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> unto you, Be not afraid <H3372> nor dismayed <H2865> by reason <H6440> of this great <H7227> multitude; <H1995> for the battle <H4421> [is] not yours, but God's. <H0430>
16: To morrow <H4279> go ye down <H3381> against them: behold, they come up <H5927> by the cliff <H4608> of Ziz; <H6732> and ye shall find <H4672> them at the end <H5490> of the brook, <H5158> before <H6440> the wilderness <H4057> of Jeruel. <H3385>
17: Ye shall not [need] to fight <H3898> in this <H2063> [battle]: set <H3320> yourselves, stand <H5975> ye [still], and see <H7200> the salvation <H3444> of the LORD <H3068> with you, O Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem: <H3389> fear <H3372> not, nor be dismayed; <H2865> to morrow <H4279> go out <H3318> against <H6440> them: for the LORD <H3068> [will be] with you.
18: And Jehoshaphat <H3092> bowed his head <H6915> with [his] face <H0639> to the ground: <H0776> and all Judah <H3063> and the inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem <H3389> fell <H5307> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> worshipping <H7812> the LORD. <H3068>
19: And the Levites, <H3881> of the children <H1121> of the Kohathites, <H6956> and of the children <H1121> of the Korhites, <H7145> stood up <H6965> to praise <H1984> the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel <H3478> with a loud <H1419> voice <H6963> on high. <H4605>
20: And they rose early <H7925> in the morning, <H1242> and went forth <H3318> into the wilderness <H4057> of Tekoa: <H8620> and as they went forth, <H3318> Jehoshaphat <H3092> stood <H5975> and said, <H0559> Hear <H8085> me, O Judah, <H3063> and ye inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem; <H3389> Believe <H0539> in the LORD <H3068> your God, <H0430> so shall ye be established; <H0539> believe <H0539> his prophets, <H5030> so shall ye prosper. <H6743>
21: And when he had consulted <H3289> with the people, <H5971> he appointed <H5975> singers <H7891> unto the LORD, <H3068> and that should praise <H1984> the beauty <H1927> of holiness, <H6944> as they went out <H3318> before <H6440> the army, <H2502> and to say, <H0559> Praise <H3034> the LORD; <H3068> for his mercy <H2617> [endureth] for ever. <H5769>
22: And when <H6256> they began <H2490> to sing <H7440> and to praise, <H8416> the LORD <H3068> set <H5414> ambushments <H0693> against the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> Moab, <H4124> and mount <H2022> Seir, <H8165> which were come <H0935> against Judah; <H3063> and they were smitten. <H5062>
23: For the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> and Moab <H4124> stood up <H5975> against the inhabitants <H3427> of mount <H2022> Seir, <H8165> utterly to slay <H2763> and destroy <H8045> [them]: and when they had made an end <H3615> of the inhabitants <H3427> of Seir, <H8165> every one <H0376> helped <H5826> to destroy <H4889> another. <H7453>
24: And when Judah <H3063> came <H0935> toward the watch tower <H4707> <H4708> in the wilderness, <H4057> they looked <H6437> unto the multitude, <H1995> and, behold, they [were] dead bodies <H6297> fallen <H5307> to the earth, <H0776> and none escaped. <H6413>
25: And when Jehoshaphat <H3092> and his people <H5971> came <H0935> to take away <H0962> the spoil <H7998> of them, they found <H4672> among them in abundance <H7230> both riches <H7399> with the dead bodies, <H6297> and precious <H2532> jewels, <H3627> which they stripped off <H5337> for themselves, more than <H0369> they could carry away: <H4853> and they were three <H7969> days <H3117> in gathering <H0962> of the spoil, <H7998> it was so much. <H7227>
26: And on the fourth <H7243> day <H3117> they assembled <H6950> themselves in the valley <H6010> of Berachah; <H1293> <H1294> for there they blessed <H1288> the LORD: <H3068> therefore the name <H8034> of the same place <H4725> was called, <H7121> The valley <H6010> of Berachah, <H1293> <H1294> unto this day. <H3117>
27: Then they returned, <H7725> every man <H0376> of Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem, <H3389> and Jehoshaphat <H3092> in the forefront <H7218> of them, to go again <H7725> to Jerusalem <H3389> with joy; <H8057> for the LORD <H3068> had made them to rejoice <H8055> over their enemies. <H0341>
28: And they came <H0935> to Jerusalem <H3389> with psalteries <H5035> and harps <H3658> and trumpets <H2689> unto the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
29: And the fear <H6343> of God <H0430> was on all the kingdoms <H4467> of [those] countries, <H0776> when they had heard <H8085> that the LORD <H3068> fought <H3898> against the enemies <H0341> of Israel. <H3478>
30: So the realm <H4438> of Jehoshaphat <H3092> was quiet: <H8252> for his God <H0430> gave him rest <H5117> round about. <H5439>
31: And Jehoshaphat <H3092> reigned <H4427> over Judah: <H3063> [he was] thirty <H7970> and five <H2568> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign, <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> twenty <H6242> and five <H2568> years <H8141> in Jerusalem. <H3389> And his mother's <H0517> name <H8034> [was] Azubah <H5806> the daughter <H1323> of Shilhi. <H7977>
32: And he walked <H3212> in the way <H1870> of Asa <H0609> his father, <H0001> and departed <H5493> not from it, doing <H6213> [that which was] right <H3477> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD. <H3068>
33: Howbeit the high places <H1116> were not taken away: <H5493> for as yet the people <H5971> had not prepared <H3559> their hearts <H3824> unto the God <H0430> of their fathers. <H0001>
34: Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Jehoshaphat, <H3092> first <H7223> and last, <H0314> behold, they [are] written <H3789> in the book <H1697> of Jehu <H3058> the son <H1121> of Hanani, <H2607> who [is] mentioned <H5927> in the book <H5612> of the kings <H4428> of Israel. <H3478>
35: And after <H0310> this did Jehoshaphat <H3092> king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> join <H2266> himself with Ahaziah <H0274> king <H4428> of Israel, <H3478> who did <H6213> very wickedly: <H7561>
36: And he joined <H2266> himself with him to make <H6213> ships <H0591> to go <H3212> to Tarshish: <H8659> and they made <H6213> the ships <H0591> in Eziongeber. <H6100>
37: Then Eliezer <H0461> the son <H1121> of Dodavah <H1735> of Mareshah <H4762> prophesied <H5012> against Jehoshaphat, <H3092> saying, <H0559> Because thou hast joined <H2266> thyself with Ahaziah, <H0274> the LORD <H3068> hath broken <H6555> thy works. <H4639> And the ships <H0591> were broken, <H7665> that they were not able <H6113> to go <H3212> to Tarshish. <H8659>
