2 Chronicles 20:14-20
20:14 Then in the midst of the assembly, the
Lord’s Spirit came upon Jachaziel son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite and descendant of Asaph.
20:15 He said: “Pay attention, all you people of Judah,
residents of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat! This is what the
Lord says to you: ‘Don’t be afraid and don’t panic
because of this huge army! For the battle is not yours, but God’s.
20:16 Tomorrow march down against them as
they come up the Ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the ravine in front of the Desert of Jeruel.
20:17 You will not fight in this battle. Take your positions, stand, and watch the
Lord deliver you,
O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid and don’t panic!
Tomorrow march out toward them; the
Lord is with you!’”
20:18 Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face toward the ground, and all the people of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem fell down before the Lord and worshiped him.
20:19 Then some Levites, from the Kohathites and Korahites, got up and loudly praised the Lord God of Israel.
20:20 Early the next morning they marched out to the Desert of Tekoa. When they were ready to march, Jehoshaphat stood up and said: “Listen to me, you people of Judah and residents of Jerusalem! Trust in the Lord your God and you will be safe! Trust in the message of his prophets and you will win.”
