1After that, Moabites, Ammonites, together with some Ammonites, came against Yehoshafat to wage war.

2The report was brought to Yehoshafat: “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, from Aram, and is now in Hazazon-tamar”—that is, Ein-gedi.

3Yehoshafat was afraid; he decided to resort to Hashem and proclaimed a fast for all Yehuda.

4Yehuda assembled to beseech Hashem. They also came from all the towns of Yehuda to seek Hashem.

5Yehoshafat stood in the congregation of Yehuda and Yerushalayim in the House of Hashem at the front of the new court.

13All Yehuda stood before Hashem with their little ones, their womenfolk, and their children.

14Then in the midst of the congregation the spirit of Hashem came upon Yachaziel son of Zecharya son of Benaiah son of Jeiel son of Mattaniah the Levi, of the sons of Asaf,

15and he said, “Give heed, all Yehuda and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim and King Yehoshafat; thus said Hashem to you, ‘Do not fear or be dismayed by this great multitude, for the battle is Hashem's, not yours.

18Yehoshafat bowed low with his face to the ground, and all Yehuda and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim threw themselves down before Hashem to worship Hashem.

20Early the next morning they arose and went forth to the wilderness of Tekoa. As they went forth, Yehoshafat stood and said, “Listen to me, O Yehuda and inhabitants of Yerushalayim: Trust firmly in Hashem your God and you will stand firm; trust firmly in His Neviim and you will succeed.”

21After taking counsel with the people, he stationed singers to Hashem extolling the One majestic in holiness as they went forth ahead of the vanguard, saying, “Praise Hashem, for His steadfast love is eternal.”

22As they began their joyous shouts and hymns, Hashem set ambushes for the men of Ammon, Moab, and the hill country of Seir, who were marching against Yehuda, and they were routed.

23The Ammonites and Moabites turned against the men of the hill country of Seir to exterminate and annihilate them. When they had made an end of the men of Seir, each helped to destroy his fellow.

24When Yehuda reached the lookout in the wilderness and looked for the multitude, they saw them lying on the ground as corpses; not one had survived.

25Yehoshafat and his army came to take the booty, and found an abundance of goods, corpses, and precious objects, which they pillaged, more than they could carry off. For three days they were taking booty, there was so much of it.

27All the men of Yehuda and Yerushalayim with Yehoshafat at their head returned joyfully to Yerushalayim, for Hashem had given them cause for rejoicing over their enemies.

29The terror of Hashem seized all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that Hashem had fought the enemies of Yisrael.

31Yehoshafat reigned over Yehuda. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Yerushalayim for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

33However, the shrines did not cease; the people still did not direct their heart toward the God of their fathers.

34As for the other events of Yehoshafat's reign, early and late, they are recorded in the annals of Yehu son of Chanani, which were included in the book of the kings of Yisrael.
