2 Chronicles 20:3–12

³And Jehoshaphat feared, and set ³himself to ^fseek the Lord, and ^gproclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. ⁴So Judah gathered together to ask ^hhelp from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.

⁵Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, ⁶and said: “O Lord God of our fathers, are You not ⁱGod in heaven, and ^jdo You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and ^kin Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You? ⁷Are You not ^lour God, who ^mdrove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham ⁿYour friend forever? ⁸And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying, ^9o‘If disaster comes upon us—sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your ^pname is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.’ ¹⁰And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir—whom You ^qwould not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but ^rthey turned from them and did not destroy them—¹¹here they are, rewarding us ^sby coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit. ¹²O our God, will You not ^tjudge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but ^uour eyes are upon You.”
