14:020:001 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab,
           and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the
           Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.

14:020:002 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There
           cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on
           this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which
           is Engedi.

14:020:003 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the lord, and
           proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

14:020:004 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the
           lord:  even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek
           the lord.

14:020:005 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and
           Jerusalem, in the house of the lord, before the new court,

14:020:006 And said, O lord God of our fathers, art not thou God 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?

14:020:007 Art not thou our God, 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?

14:020:008 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary
           therein for thy name, saying,

14:020:009 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.

14:020:010 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;

14:020:011 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of
           thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.

14:020:012 O our God, 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.

14:020:013 And all Judah stood before the lord, with their little ones,
           their wives, and their children.

14:020:014 Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah,
           the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons
           of Asaph, came the Spirit of the lord in the midst of the
           congregation;

14:020:015 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of
           Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the lord unto
           you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great
           multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
