Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
believe in Yahweh your God, so shall you be established;
believe his prophets, so shall you prosper.
020:021 When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those
who should sing to Yahweh, and give praise in holy array,
as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to Yahweh;
for his loving kindness endures forever.
020:022 When they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set ambushers
against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir,
who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
020:023 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the
inhabitants of Mount Seir, utterly to kill and destroy them:
and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir,
everyone helped to destroy another.
020:024 When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness,
they looked at the multitude; and behold, they were dead
bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.
020:025 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them,
they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies,
and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves,
more than they could carry away: and they were three days
in taking the spoil, it was so much.
020:026 On the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley
of Beracah; for there they blessed Yahweh: therefore the name

and trumpets to the house of Yahweh.
020:029 The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries,
when they heard that Yahweh fought against the enemies of Israel.
020:030 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him
rest round about.
020:031 Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when
he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem:
and his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
020:032 He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn't turn aside
from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh.
020:033 However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet
had the people set their hearts to the God of their fathers.
020:034 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold,
they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani,
which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
020:035 After this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with
Ahaziah king of Israel; the same did very wickedly:
020:036 and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish;
