2 Chronicles 20:3-13

« 2 Chron 192 Chron 202 Chron 21 »

3 And Jehoshaphat was afraid and ¹^aset his face to seek Yahweh, and ^bcalled for a fast throughout all Judah. 4 So Judah gathered together to ^aseek help from Yahweh; they even came from all the cities of Judah to seek Yahweh.

Jehoshaphat Before the Assembly

5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Yahweh before the new court, 6 and he said, “O Yahweh, the God of our fathers, ^aare You not God in the heavens? And ^bare You not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can take their stand against You. 7 Did You not, O our God, dispossess the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and ^agive it to the seed of ^bAbraham Your friend forever? 8 And they have lived in it, and have built You a sanctuary there for Your name, saying, 9 ‘^aShould evil come upon us, the sword, or judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house and before You (for ^bYour name is in this house) and cry to You in our distress, and You will hear and save us.’ 10 So now, behold, ^athe sons of Ammon and Moab and ¹Mount Seir, ^bwhom You did not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt (they turned aside from them and did not destroy them), 11 and behold, they are rewarding us by ^acoming to drive us out from Your possession which You have caused us to possess. 12 O our God, ^awill You not judge them? For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; and we do not know what we should do, but ^bour eyes are on You.”
13 Now all Judah was standing before Yahweh, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
