Tomorrow go out before them and Yahweh will be with you.’” 18 Then Jehoshaphat bowed his face[b] down to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before Yahweh to worship Yahweh. 19 Then the Levites, from the Kohathites[c] and from the Korahites[d] stood up to praise Yahweh the God of Israel with an exceedingly[e] loud voice.
