2 Chronicles 20:13-19

English Standard Version

¹³ Meanwhile all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children. ¹⁴ And ^(A)the Spirit of the Lord came^[a] upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. ¹⁵ And he said, “Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, ^(B)‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, ^(C)for the battle is not yours but God's. ¹⁶ Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they will come up by the ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of ^(D)the valley, east of the wilderness of Jeruel. ^17 (E)You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’ ^(F)Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, ^(G)and the Lord will be with you.”

¹⁸ Then Jehoshaphat ^(H)bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. ¹⁹ And the Levites, of the ^(I)Kohathites and the ^(J)Korahites, stood up to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.
