2 Chronicles 20:14–22

¹⁴Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of ^zAsaph, ^acame the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation; ¹⁵And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, ^bBe not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for ^cthe battle is not yours, but God’s. ¹⁶To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the ^†cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the ^||brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. ^17dYe shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: ^bfear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: ^efor the Lord will be with you. ¹⁸And Jehoshaphat ^fbowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord. ¹⁹And the Levites, of the children of the ^gKohathites, and of the children of the ^hKorhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

²⁰And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into ⁱthe wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; ^kBelieve in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. ²¹And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and ^†that should praise ^lthe beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, ^mPraise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever. ^22†And when they began ^†to sing and to praise, the Lord set ⁿambushments against the children of ^oAmmon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and ^||they were smitten.
