It came to pass after thisH310 also, that the childrenH1121 of MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and with them other beside the AmmonitesH5984, cameH935 against JehoshaphatH3092 to battleH4421.
Then there cameH935 some that toldH5046 JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, There comethH935 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995 against thee from beyondH5676 the seaH3220 on this side SyriaH758; and, behold, they be in HazazontamarH2688, which is EngediH5872.
And JehoshaphatH3092 fearedH3372, and setH5414 himselfH6440 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH5921 all JudahH3063. {himself: Heb. his face}
And JudahH3063 gathered themselves togetherH6908, to askH1245 help of the LORDH3068: even out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 they cameH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068.
And JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 in the congregationH6951 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, beforeH6440 the newH2319 courtH2691,
And saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, art not thou GodH430 in heavenH8064? and rulestH4910 not thou over all the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471? and in thine handH3027 is there not powerH3581 and mightH1369, so that none is able to withstandH3320 thee?
Art not thou our GodH430, who didst drive outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and gavestH5414 it to the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 thy friendH157 for everH5769? {who: Heb. thou}
And they dweltH3427 therein, and have builtH1129 thee a sanctuaryH4720 therein for thy nameH8034, sayingH559,
If, when evilH7451 comethH935 upon us, as the swordH2719, judgmentH8196, or pestilenceH1698, or famineH7458, we standH5975 beforeH6440 this houseH1004, and in thy presenceH6440, (for thy nameH8034 is in this houseH1004,) and cryH2199 unto thee in our afflictionH6869, then thou wilt hearH8085 and helpH3467.
And now, behold, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whom thou wouldest not letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935, when they came outH935 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not;
Behold, I say, how they rewardH1580 us, to comeH935 to cast us outH1644 of thy possessionH3425, which thou hast given us to inheritH3423.
O our GodH430, wilt thou not judgeH8199 them? for we have no mightH3581 againstH6440 this greatH7227 companyH1995 that comethH935 against us; neither knowH3045 weH587 what to doH6213: but our eyesH5869 are upon thee.
And all JudahH3063 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, withH1571 their little onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their childrenH1121.
Then upon JahazielH3166 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3273, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, a LeviteH3881 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, came the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951;
And he saidH559, HearkenH7181 ye, all JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto you, Be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 by reasonH6440 of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is not yours, but God'sH430.
To morrowH4279 go ye downH3381 against them: behold, they come upH5927 by the cliffH4608 of ZizH6732; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the brookH5158, beforeH6440 the wildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385. {cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}
Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in thisH2063 battle: setH3320 yourselves, standH5975 ye still, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; to morrowH4279 go outH3318 againstH6440 them: for the LORDH3068 will be with you.
And JehoshaphatH3092 bowedH6915 his head with his faceH639 to the groundH776: and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 fellH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, worshippingH7812 the LORDH3068.
And the LevitesH3881, of the childrenH1121 of the KohathitesH6956, and of the childrenH1121 of the KorhitesH7145, stood upH6965 to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 on highH4605.
And they rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and went forthH3318 into the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620: and as they went forthH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, HearH8085 me, O JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; BelieveH539 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430, so shall ye be establishedH539; believeH539 his prophetsH5030, so shall ye prosperH6743.
And when he had consultedH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 singersH7891 unto the LORDH3068, and that should praiseH1984 the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944, as they went outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502, and to sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {that…: Heb. praisers}
And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praiseH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 ambushmentsH693 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, which were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smittenH5062. {And when…: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing…: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were…: or, they smote one another}
For the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 stood upH5975 against the inhabitantsH3427 of mountH2022 SeirH8165, utterly to slayH2763 and destroyH8045 them: and when they had made an endH3615 of the inhabitantsH3427 of SeirH8165, every oneH376 helpedH5826 to destroyH4889 anotherH7453. {to destroy: Heb. for the destruction}
And when JudahH3063 cameH935 toward the watch towerH4707+H4708 in the wildernessH4057, they lookedH6437 unto the multitudeH1995, and, behold, they were dead bodiesH6297 fallenH5307 to the earthH776, and none escapedH6413. {none…: Heb. there was not an escaping}
And when JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 cameH935 to take awayH962 the spoilH7998 of them, they foundH4672 among them in abundanceH7230 both richesH7399 with the dead bodiesH6297, and preciousH2532 jewelsH3627, which they stripped offH5337 for themselves, more thanH369 they could carry awayH4853: and they were threeH7969 daysH3117 in gatheringH962 of the spoilH7998, it was so muchH7227.
And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they assembledH6950 themselves in the valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294; for there they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068: therefore the nameH8034 of the same placeH4725 was calledH7121, The valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294, unto this dayH3117. {Berachah: that is, blessing}
Then they returnedH7725, every manH376 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and JehoshaphatH3092 in the forefrontH7218 of them, to go againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with joyH8057; for the LORDH3068 had made them to rejoiceH8055 over their enemiesH341. {forefront: Heb. head}
And they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658 and trumpetsH2689 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And the fearH6343 of GodH430 was on all the kingdomsH4467 of those countriesH776, when they had heardH8085 that the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 against the enemiesH341 of IsraelH3478.
So the realmH4438 of JehoshaphatH3092 was quietH8252: for his GodH430 gave him restH5117 round aboutH5439.
And JehoshaphatH3092 reignedH4427 over JudahH3063: he was thirtyH7970 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was AzubahH5806 the daughterH1323 of ShilhiH7977.
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of AsaH609 his fatherH1, and departedH5493 not from it, doingH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Howbeit the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493: for as yet the peopleH5971 had not preparedH3559 their heartsH3824 unto the GodH430 of their fathersH1.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoshaphatH3092, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607, who is mentionedH5927 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. {book of Jehu: Heb. words, etc} {is mentioned: Heb. was made to ascend}
And afterH310 this did JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 joinH2266 himself with AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who didH6213 very wickedlyH7561:
And he joinedH2266 himself with him to makeH6213 shipsH591 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659: and they madeH6213 the shipsH591 in EziongeberH6100.
Then EliezerH461 the sonH1121 of DodavahH1735 of MareshahH4762 prophesiedH5012 against JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, Because thou hast joinedH2266 thyself with AhaziahH274, the LORDH3068 hath brokenH6555 thy worksH4639. And the shipsH591 were brokenH7665, that they were not ableH6113 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659.

Then sangH7891 MosesH4872 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 this songH7892 unto the LORDH3068, and spakeH559, sayingH559, I will singH7891 unto the LORDH3068, for he hath triumphedH1342 gloriouslyH1342: the horseH5483 and his riderH7392 hath he thrownH7411 into the seaH3220.
The LORDH3050 is my strengthH5797 and songH2176, and he is become my salvationH3444: heH2088 is my GodH410, and I will prepare him an habitationH5115; my father'sH1 GodH430, and I will exaltH7311 him.
The LORDH3068 is a manH376 of warH4421: the LORDH3068 is his nameH8034.
Pharaoh'sH6547 chariotsH4818 and his hostH2428 hath he castH3384 into the seaH3220: his chosenH4005 captainsH7991 also are drownedH2883 in the RedH5488 seaH3220.
The depthsH8415 have coveredH3680 them: they sankH3381 into the bottomH4688 asH3644 a stoneH68.
Thy right handH3225, O LORDH3068, is become gloriousH142 in powerH3581: thy right handH3225, O LORDH3068, hath dashed in piecesH7492 the enemyH341.
And in the greatnessH7230 of thine excellencyH1347 thou hast overthrownH2040 them that rose up againstH6965 thee: thou sentest forthH7971 thy wrathH2740, which consumedH398 them as stubbleH7179.
And with the blastH7307 of thy nostrilsH639 the watersH4325 were gathered togetherH6192, the floodsH5140 stood uprightH5324 as an heapH5067, and the depthsH8415 were congealedH7087 in the heartH3820 of the seaH3220.
The enemyH341 saidH559, I will pursueH7291, I will overtakeH5381, I will divideH2505 the spoilH7998; my lustH5315 shall be satisfiedH4390 upon them; I will drawH7324 my swordH2719, my handH3027 shall destroyH3423 them. {destroy: or, repossess}
Thou didst blowH5398 with thy windH7307, the seaH3220 coveredH3680 them: they sankH6749 as leadH5777 in the mightyH117 watersH4325.
Who is like unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the godsH410? who is like thee, gloriousH142 in holinessH6944, fearfulH3372 in praisesH8416, doingH6213 wondersH6382? {gods: or, mighty ones?}
Thou stretchedst outH5186 thy right handH3225, the earthH776 swallowedH1104 them.
Thou in thy mercyH2617 hast led forthH5148 the peopleH5971 whichH2098 thou hast redeemedH1350: thou hast guidedH5095 them in thy strengthH5797 unto thy holyH6944 habitationH5116.
The peopleH5971 shall hearH8085, and be afraidH7264: sorrowH2427 shall take holdH270 on the inhabitantsH3427 of PalestinaH6429.
ThenH227 the dukesH441 of EdomH123 shall be amazedH926; the mighty menH352 of MoabH4124, tremblingH7461 shall take holdH270 upon them; all the inhabitantsH3427 of CanaanH3667 shall melt awayH4127.
FearH367 and dreadH6343 shall fallH5307 upon them; by the greatnessH1419 of thine armH2220 they shall be as stillH1826 as a stoneH68; till thy peopleH5971 pass overH5674, O LORDH3068, till the peopleH5971 pass overH5674, whichH2098 thou hast purchasedH7069.
Thou shalt bringH935 them in, and plantH5193 them in the mountainH2022 of thine inheritanceH5159, in the placeH4349, O LORDH3068, which thou hast madeH6466 for thee to dwell inH3427, in the SanctuaryH4720, O LordH136, which thy handsH3027 have establishedH3559.
The LORDH3068 shall reignH4427 for everH5769 and everH5703.
For the horseH5483 of PharaohH6547 went inH935 with his chariotsH7393 and with his horsemenH6571 into the seaH3220, and the LORDH3068 brought againH7725 the watersH4325 of the seaH3220 upon them; but the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH1980 on dryH3004 land in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220.
And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 BethelH1008: butH199 the nameH8034 of that cityH5892 was called LuzH3870 at the firstH7223. {Bethel: that is, The house of God}

And say yeH559 moreoverH1571, Behold, thy servantH5650 JacobH3290 is behind usH310. For he saidH559, I will appeaseH3722 himH6440 with the presentH4503 that goethH1980 before meH6440, and afterwardH310 I will seeH7200 his faceH6440; peradventure he will acceptH5375 of meH6440. {of me: Heb. my face}

Oh that men would praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 for his goodnessH2617, and for his wonderful worksH6381 to the childrenH1121 of menH120!
Thou shalt no more be termedH559 ForsakenH5800; neither shall thy landH776 any more be termedH559 DesolateH8077: but thou shalt be calledH7121 HephzibahH2657, and thy landH776 BeulahH1166: for the LORDH3068 delightethH2654 in thee, and thy landH776 shall be marriedH1166. {Hephzibah: that is, My delight is in her} {Beulah: that is, Married}

AndG2532 it wasG1096 knownG1110 unto allG3956 the dwellersG2730 at JerusalemG2419; insomuch asG5620 thatG1565 fieldG5564 is calledG2564 in theirG846 properG2398 tongueG1258, AceldamaG184, that is to sayG5123, The fieldG5564 of bloodG129.
BlessedG2128 be the LordG2962 GodG2316 of IsraelG2474; forG3754 he hath visitedG1980 andG2532 redeemedG3085 hisG846 peopleG2992+G4160,
AndG2532 afterG3326 these thingsG5023 I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 of muchG4183 peopleG3793 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239; SalvationG4991, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 powerG1411, unto the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316:
ForG3754 trueG228 andG2532 righteousG1342 are hisG846 judgmentsG2920: forG3754 he hath judgedG2919 the greatG3173 whoreG4204, whichG3748 did corruptG5351 the earthG1093 withG1722 herG846 fornicationG4202, andG2532 hath avengedG1556 the bloodG129 of hisG846 servantsG1401 atG1537 herG846 handG5495.
AndG2532 againG1208 they saidG2046, AlleluiaG239. AndG2532 herG846 smokeG2586 rose upG305 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 andG2532 the fourG5064 beastsG2226 fell downG4098 andG2532 worshippedG4352 GodG2316 that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, AmenG281; AlleluiaG239.
AndG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1831 out ofG1537 the throneG2362, sayingG3004, PraiseG134 ourG2257 GodG2316, all yeG3956 hisG846 servantsG1401, andG2532 ye that fearG5399 himG846, bothG2532 smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173.
AndG2532 I heardG191 as it wereG5613 the voiceG5456 of a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204, andG2532 asG5613 the voiceG5456 of mightyG2478 thunderingsG1027, sayingG3004, AlleluiaG239: forG3754 the LordG2962 GodG2316 omnipotentG3841 reignethG936.
