And when
<06256>

they began
<02490> (8689)

to sing
<07440>

and to praise
<08416>_,

the LORD
<03068>

set
<05414> (8804)

ambushments
<0693> (8764)

against the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

Moab

and mount
<02022>

Seir
<08165>_,

which were come

<03063>_;

and they were smitten

For the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

and Moab
<04124>

stood up
<05975> (8799)

against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of mount
<02022>

Seir
<08165>_,

utterly to slay
<02763> (8687)

and destroy
<08045> (8687)

[them]: and when they had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Seir
<08165>_,

every one
<0376>

helped
<05826> (8804)

to destroy
<04889>

another
<07453>_.

<03063>

came
<0935> (8804)

toward the watch tower
<04707> (8677) <04708>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

they looked
<06437> (8799)

unto the multitude
<01995>_,

and, behold, they [were] dead bodies
<06297>

fallen
<05307> (8802)

to the earth
<0776>_,

and none escaped
<06413>_.

{none...: Heb. there was not an escaping}

20:25

And when Jehoshaphat
<03092>

and his people
<05971>

came
<0935> (8799)

to take away
<0962> (8800)

the spoil
<07998>

of them, they found
<04672> (8799)

among them in abundance
<07230>

both riches
<07399>

with the dead bodies
<06297>_,

and precious
<02532>

jewels
<03627>_,

which they stripped off
<05337> (8762)

for themselves, more than
<0369>

they could carry away
<04853>_:

and they were three
<07969>

days
<03117>

in gathering
<0962> (8802)

of the spoil
<07998>_,

it was so much
<07227>_.

20:26

And on the fourth
<07243>

day
<03117>

they assembled
<06950> (8738)

themselves in the valley
<06010>

of Berachah
<01294>_;

for there they blessed
<01288> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore the name
<08034>

of the same place
<04725>

was called
<07121> (8804)_,

The valley
<06010>

of Berachah
<01294>_,

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Berachah: that is, blessing}

20:27

Then they returned
<07725> (8799)_,

every man
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and Jehoshaphat
<03092>

in the forefront
<07218>

of them, to go again
<07725> (8800)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

with joy
<08057>_;

for the LORD
<03068>

had made them to rejoice
<08055> (8765)

over their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

{forefront: Heb. head}

20:28

And they came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

with psalteries
<05035>

and harps
<03658>

and trumpets
<02689>

unto the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

20:29

And the fear
<06343>

of God
<0430>

was on all the kingdoms
<04467>

of [those] countries
<0776>_,

when they had heard
<08085> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

fought
<03898> (8738)

against the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of Israel
<03478>_.

20:30

So the realm
<04438>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

was quiet
<08252> (8799)_:

for his God
<0430>

gave him rest
<05117> (8799)

round about
<05439>_.
