¹⁰ And ^(A)the fear of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.

¹⁴ Then they defeated all the cities around Gerar, for ^(A)the fear of the Lord came upon them; and they plundered all the cities, for there was exceedingly much ^[a]spoil in them.

^9 (A)For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this ^(B)you have done foolishly; therefore from now on ^(C)you shall have wars.”

²⁴ For I will ^(A)cast out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.

⁵ And they journeyed, and ^(A)the terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

⁹ and said to the men: ^(A)“I know that the Lord has given you the land, that ^(B)the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land ^(C)are fainthearted because of you. ¹⁰ For we have heard how the Lord ^(D)dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and ^(E)what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you ^(F)utterly destroyed. ¹¹ And as soon as we ^(G)heard these things, ^(H)our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for ^(I)the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.
