2 Chronicles 20:1-4
World English Bible
20 After this, the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. 2 Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi). 3 Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to Yahweh. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 4 Judah gathered themselves together to seek help from Yahweh. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek Yahweh.

International Standard Version
Judah is Invaded Unexpectedly
20 Sometime after these events, the Moabites and the Ammonites, accompanied by some other descendants of Ammon,[a] attacked Jehoshaphat and started a war. 2 Jehoshaphat’s military advisors[b] came and informed him, “We’ve been attacked by a vast invasion force from Aram,[c] beyond the Dead[d] Sea. Be advised—they’ve already reached Hazazon-tamar, also known as En-gedi.”
3 In mounting fear, Jehoshaphat devoted himself[e] to seek the Lord. He proclaimed a period of[f] fasting throughout all of the territory of[g] Judah, 4 and the tribe of[h] Judah assembled together to seek the Lord. People[i] came from all of the cities of Judah to seek the Lord.
