²⁹ And ^(A)the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.

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.

⁶ For the Lord had caused the army of the Syrians ^(A)to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses—the noise of a great army; so they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired against us ^(B)the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us!”

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.

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 So they said to him: ^(A)“From a very far country your servants have come, because of the name of the Lord your God; for we have ^(B)heard of His fame, and all that He did in Egypt, ¹⁰ and ^(C)all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan—to Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth. ¹¹ Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, “We are your servants; now therefore, make a covenant with us.” ’

The Second Generation Circumcised

5 So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites ^(A)who were by the sea, ^(B)heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until ^[a]we had crossed over, that ^[b]their heart melted; ^(C)and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.

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.

²⁷ “I will send ^(A)My fear before you, I will ^(B)cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
