in the house of Yahweh, before the new court;
020:006 and he said, Yahweh, the God of our fathers, aren't you
God in heaven? and aren't you ruler over all the kingdoms
of the nations? and in your hand is power and might,
so that none is able to withstand you.
020:007 Did not you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land
before your people Israel, and give it to the seed of Abraham
your friend forever?
020:008 They lived therein, and have built you a sanctuary therein
for your name, saying,
020:009 If evil come on us, the sword, judgment, or pestilence,
or famine, we will stand before this house, and before you,
(for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction,
and you will hear and save.
020:010 Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir,
whom you would not let Israel invade, when they came out
of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them,
and didn't destroy them;
020:011 behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession,
which you have given us to inherit.

tomorrow go out against them: for Yahweh is with you.
020:018 Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground;
and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down
before Yahweh, worshipping Yahweh.
