2 Chronicles 20:5-17

20:5

And Jehoshaphat
<03092>

stood
<05975> (8799)

in the congregation
<06951>

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

before
<06440>

the new
<02319>

court
<02691>_,

20:6

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of our fathers
<01>_,

[art] not thou God
<0430>

in heaven
<08064>_?

and rulest
<04910> (8802)

[not] thou over all the kingdoms
<04467>

of the heathen
<01471>_?

and in thine hand
<03027>

[is there not] power
<03581>

and might
<01369>_,

so that none is able to withstand
<03320> (8692)

thee?

20:7

[Art] not thou our God
<0430>_,

[who] didst drive out
<03423> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of this land
<0776>

before
<06440>

thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and gavest
<05414> (8799)

it to the seed
<02233>

of Abraham
<085>

thy friend
<0157> (8802)

for ever
<05769>_?

{who: Heb. thou}

20:8

And they dwelt
<03427> (8799)

therein, and have built
<01129> (8799)

thee a sanctuary
<04720>

therein for thy name
<08034>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:9

If, [when] evil
<07451>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

upon us, [as] the sword
<02719>_,

judgment
<08196>_,

or pestilence
<01698>_,

or famine
<07458>_,

we stand
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

this house
<01004>_,

and in thy presence
<06440>_,

(for thy name
<08034>

[is] in this house
<01004>,)

and cry
<02199> (8799)

unto thee in our affliction
<06869>_,

then thou wilt hear
<08085> (8799)

and help
<03467> (8686)_.

20:10

And now, behold, the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

and Moab
<04124>

and mount
<02022>

Seir
<08165>_,

whom thou wouldest not let
<05414> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

invade
<0935> (8800)_,

when they came out
<0935> (8800)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

but they turned
<05493> (8804)

from them, and destroyed
<08045> (8689)

them not;

20:11

Behold, [I say, how] they reward
<01580> (8802)

us, to come
<0935> (8800)

to cast us out
<01644> (8763)

of thy possession
<03425>_,

which thou hast given us to inherit
<03423> (8689)_.

20:12

O our God
<0430>_,

wilt thou not judge
<08199> (8799)

them? for we have no might
<03581>

against
<06440>

this great
<07227>

company
<01995>

that cometh
<0935> (8802)

against us; neither know
<03045> (8799)

we
<0587>

what to do
<06213> (8799)_:

but our eyes
<05869>

[are] upon thee.

20:13

And all Judah
<03063>

stood
<05975> (8802)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

with
<01571>

their little ones
<02945>_,

their wives
<0802>_,

and their children
<01121>_.

20:14

Then upon Jahaziel
<03166>

the son
<01121>

of Zechariah
<02148>_,

the son
<01121>

of Benaiah
<01141>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jeiel
<03273>_,

the son
<01121>

of Mattaniah
<04983>_,

a Levite
<03881>

of the sons
<01121>

of Asaph
<0623>_,

came the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

in the midst
<08432>

of the congregation
<06951>_;

20:15

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hearken
<07181> (8685)

ye, all Judah
<03063>_,

and ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and thou king
<04428>

Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

unto you, Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

nor dismayed
<02865> (8735)

by reason
<06440>

of this great
<07227>

multitude
<01995>_;

for the battle
<04421>

[is] not yours, but God's
<0430>_.

20:16

To morrow
<04279>

go ye down
<03381> (8798)

against them: behold, they come up
<05927> (8802)

by the cliff
<04608>

of Ziz
<06732>_;

and ye shall find
<04672> (8804)

them at the end
<05490>

of the brook
<05158>_,

before
<06440>

the wilderness
<04057>

of Jeruel
<03385>_.

{cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}

20:17

Ye shall not [need] to fight
<03898> (8736)

in this
<02063>

[battle]: set
<03320> (8690)

yourselves, stand
<05975> (8798)

ye [still], and see
<07200> (8798)

the salvation
<03444>

of the LORD
<03068>

with you, O Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_:

fear
<03372> (8799)

not, nor be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_;

to morrow
<04279>

go out
<03318> (8798)

against
<06440>

them: for the LORD
<03068>

[will be] with you.
