2 Chronicles 20:3–12

³Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek Yahweh. And he called for a fast through all Judah. ⁴And Judah assembled to seek after Yahweh; even from all the cities of Judah they came to seek Yahweh.

⁵Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of Yahweh before the new courtyard. ⁶And he said, “O Yahweh, God of our ancestors,^e are you not God in heaven? Now you rule in all the kingdoms of the nations, and in your hand are power and might, and there is none who can resist against you. ⁷O, our God, did you yourself not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it to the descendants^f of Abraham your friend forever? ⁸And they lived in it and built for you a sanctuary for your name in it, saying, ⁹‘If disaster, a sword, punishment, disease, or famine come upon us, we shall stand before this house and before you—for your name is in this house—and cry out to you out of our trouble, then you will hear and save us.’ ¹⁰And now, look, the people^g of Moab and Ammon and Mount Seir whom you did not allow Israel to come against when they came from Egypt, from whom they turned aside and did not destroy, ¹¹now behold, they are rewarding us by coming to dispossess us from your possession which you gave us as an inheritance. ¹²O our God, will you not judge them, for there is no power in us before this great multitude that is coming against us. Now we do not know what we shall do, for our eyes are upon you.”
