2 Chronicles 20:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 Messengers told Jehoshaphat, “A large army from Edom[a] east of the Dead Sea has invaded our country. They have already reached En-Gedi.”[b]
3 Jehoshaphat was afraid, so he asked the Lord what to do. He then told the people of Judah to go without eating to show their sorrow. 4 They immediately left for Jerusalem to ask for the Lord's help.
