2 Chronicles 20:1

The Lord Gives Jehoshaphat Military Success

20:1 Later the Moabites and Ammonites, along with some of the Meunites, attacked Jehoshaphat.

2 Chronicles 20:22

20:22 When they began to shout and praise, the Lord suddenly attacked the Ammonites, Moabites, and men from Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.


tc The Hebrew text has “Ammonites,” but they are mentioned just before this. Most translations, following some mss of the LXX, read “Meunites” (see 1 Chr 26:7; so NASB, NIV, NRSV).

tn Heb “set ambushers against.” This is probably idiomatic here for launching a surprise attack.

tn Heb “the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir.”
