²⁹ The fear^(A) of God came on all the surrounding kingdoms when they heard how the Lord had fought^(B) against the enemies of Israel.

¹⁰ The fear^(A) of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands surrounding Judah, so that they did not go to war against Jehoshaphat.

⁶ for the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound^(A) of chariots and horses and a great army, so that they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired^(B) the Hittite^(C) and Egyptian kings to attack us!”

¹⁴ They destroyed all the villages around Gerar, for the terror^(A) of the Lord had fallen on them. They looted all these villages, since there was much plunder there.

⁵ Then they set out, and the terror of God^(A) fell on the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.^(B)

⁹ They answered: “Your servants have come from a very distant country^(A) because of the fame of the Lord your God. For we have heard reports^(B) of him: all that he did in Egypt,^{(C) 10} and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan—Sihon king of Heshbon,^(D) and Og king of Bashan,^(E) who reigned in Ashtaroth.^{(F) 11} And our elders and all those living in our country said to us, ‘Take provisions for your journey; go and meet them and say to them, “We are your servants; make a treaty with us.”’

5 Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast^(A) heard how the Lord had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until they^[a] had crossed over, their hearts melted in fear^(B) and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites.

⁹ and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear^(A) of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. ¹⁰ We have heard how the Lord dried up^(B) the water of the Red Sea^[a] for you when you came out of Egypt,^(C) and what you did to Sihon and Og,^(D) the two kings of the Amorites^(E) east of the Jordan,^(F) whom you completely destroyed.^{[b](G) 11} When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear^(H) and everyone’s courage failed^(I) because of you,^(J) for the Lord your God^(K) is God in heaven above and on the earth^(L) below.

²⁷ “I will send my terror^(A) ahead of you and throw into confusion^(B) every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.^(C)
