Then there came°°
some that told°°
Jehoshaphat,°
saying,°°
There cometh°°

on this side Syria;°°
and, behold,°
they [be] in Hazazontamar,°
which°

and proclaimed°°
a fast°
throughout°
all°
Judah.° |

they came°°
to seek°°°
Yahweh.° |

And he said, O Lord God of my fathers, art not thou God in heaven above, and art not thou Lord of all the kingdoms of the nations? and [is there] not in thy hand the might of dominion, and there is no one who can resist thee? |
|
20:6
And said,°°
O Yahweh°
Elohim°
of our fathers,°
[art] not°
thou°
Elohim°
in heaven?°
and rulest°°
[not] thou°
over all°
the kingdoms°
of the heathen?°
and in thine hand°
[is there not] power°
and might,°
so that none°
is able to withstand°°°
thee? |
|
20:7
Art not thou the Lord that didst destroy the inhabitants of this land before the face of thy people Israel, and didst give it to thy beloved seed of Abraham for ever? |
|
20:7
[Art] not°
thou°
our Elohim,°
[who] didst drive out°°°
the inhabitants°°
of this°
land°
before°°
thy people°
Israel,°
and gavest°°
it to the seed°
of Abraham°
thy friend°°
for ever?° |
|
20:8
And they dwelt in it, and built in it a sanctuary to thy name, saying, |
|
20:8
And they dwelt°°
therein, and have built°°
thee a sanctuary°
therein for thy name,°
saying,°° |
|
20:9
If there should come upon us evils, sword, judgment, pestilence, famine, we will stand before this house, and before thee, (for thy name [is] upon this house,) and we will cry to thee because of the affliction, and thou shalt hear, and deliver. |
|
20:9
If,°
[when] evil°
cometh°°
upon°
us, [as] the sword,°
judgment,°
or pestilence,°
or famine,°
we stand°°
before°
this°
house,°
and in thy presence,°
(for°
thy name°
[is] in this°
house,)°
and cry°°
unto°
thee in our affliction,°°
then thou wilt hear°°
and help.°° |
|
20:10
And now, behold, the children of Ammon, and Moab, and mount Seir, with regard to whom thou didst not permit Israel to pass through their border, when they had come out of the land of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, (for they turned away from them, and did not destroy them;)-- |
|
20:10
And now,°
behold,°
the children°
of Ammon°
and Moab°
and mount°
Seir,°
whom°
thou wouldest not°
let°°
Israel°
invade,°°
when they came°
out°°
of the land°°
of Egypt,°
but°
they turned°°
from°°
them, and destroyed°°
them not;° |
|
20:11
yet now, behold, they make attempts against us, to come forth to cast us out from our inheritance which thou gavest us. |
|
20:11
Behold,°
[I say, how] they°
reward°°°
us, to come°°
to cast us out°°
of thy possession,°°
which°
thou hast given us to inherit.°° |
|
20:12
O Lord our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no strength to resist this great multitude that is come against us; and we know not what we shall do to them: but our eyes are toward thee. |
|
20:12
O our Elohim,°
wilt thou not°
judge°°
them? for°
we have no°
might°
against°
this°
great°
company°
that cometh°°
against°
us; neither°
know°°
we°
what°
to do:°°
but°
our eyes°
[are] upon°
thee. |

20:15
and he said, Hear ye, all Judah{gr.Juda}, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, and king Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat}: Thus saith the Lord to you, even you, Fear not, neither be alarmed, before all this great multitude; for the battle is not years, but God's. |
|
20:15
And he said,°°
Hearken°°
ye, all°
Judah,°
and ye inhabitants°°
of Jerusalem,°
and thou king°
Jehoshaphat,°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
unto you, Be not afraid°°°°
nor°

by reason°
of°°
this°
great°
multitude;°
for°

before°
the wilderness°
of Jeruel.° |
|
20:17
It is not for you to fight: understand these things, and see the deliverance of the Lord with you, Judah{gr.Juda} and Jerusalem: fear not, neither be afraid to go forth to-morrow to meet them; and the Lord shall be with you. |
|
20:17
Ye shall not°
[need] to fight°°
in this°
[battle]: set°°
yourselves,°
stand°°
ye [still], and see°°°
the salvation°
of Yahweh°
with°
you, O Judah°
and Jerusalem:°
fear°°
not,°
nor°
be dismayed;°°
to morrow°

of the inhabitants°°

day°
they assembled°°
themselves°
in the valley°

Then they returned,°°
every°
man°
of Judah°

20:28
And they came°°
to Jerusalem°
with psalteries°
and harps°
and trumpets°
unto°
the house°
of Yahweh.° |
|
20:29
And there was a terror of the Lord upon all the kingdoms of the land, when they heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel. |

when they had heard°°
that°
Yahweh°
fought°°
against°
the enemies°°

20:31 ¶
And Jehoshaphat°
reigned°°
over°
Judah:°

years°
in Jerusalem.°

in the way°
of Asa°
his father,°
and departed°°
not°
from°
it, doing°°
[that which was] right°
in the sight°
of Yahweh.° |
|
20:33
Nevertheless the high places yet remained; and as yet the people did not direct their heart to the Lord God of their fathers. |
|
20:33
Howbeit°
the high places°
were not°
taken away:°°
for as yet°
the people°
had not°
prepared°°
their hearts°
unto the Elohim°
of their fathers.° |
|
20:34
And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat}, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu{gr.Jeu} [the son] of Hananiah{gr.Anani}, who wrote the book of the kings of Israel. |

of the acts°
of Jehoshaphat,°
first°
and last,°
behold,°
they [are] written°°

the son°
of Hanani,°
who°
[is] mentioned°°
in°
the book°
of the kings°
of Israel.° |

20:35 ¶
And after°
this°
did Jehoshaphat°
king°
of Judah°
join°°
himself°
with°
Ahaziah°
king°
of Israel,°
who°
did°°
very wickedly:°°° |
|
20:36
by acting [with] and going to him, to build ships to go to Tharshish{gr.Tharsis}: and he built ships in Gasion Gaber. |
|
20:36
And he joined°°
himself with°
him to make°°
ships°
to go°°°
to Tarshish:°
and they made°°
the ships°
in Eziongeber.° |
|
20:37
And Eliezer thee [son] of Dodia of Marisa prophesied against Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat}, saying, Forasmuch as thou hast allied thyself with Ahaziah{gr.Ochozias}, the Lord has broken thy work, and thy vessels have been wrecked. And they could not go to Tharshish{gr.Tharsis}. |
|
20:37
Then Eliezer°
the son°
of Dodavah°
of Mareshah°°
prophesied°°
against°
Jehoshaphat,°
saying,°°
Because thou hast joined°°
thyself°
with°
Ahaziah,°
Yahweh°
hath broken°°°
thy works.°
And the ships°
were broken,°°
that they were not able°°°
to go°°°
to°
Tarshish.° |
