2 Chronicles 20:5-12

1599 Geneva Bible

⁵ And Jehoshaphat stood in the Congregation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the Lord before the new court,

⁶ And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and reignest not thou on all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is power and might, and none is able to withstand thee.

⁷ Didst not thou our God cast out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and ^[a]gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend forever?

⁸ And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a Sanctuary therein for thy Name, saying,

^9 (A)If evil come upon us, as the ^[b]sword of judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house and in thy presence (for thy name ^[c]is in this house) and will cry unto thee in our tribulation, and thou wilt hear and help.

¹⁰ And now, behold, the children of ^(B)Ammon and Moab, and mount Seir, by whom thou wouldest not let Israel go, when they came out of the land of Egypt: but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not:

¹¹ Behold, I say, they reward us, in coming to cast us out of thine inheritance, which thou hast caused us to inherit:

¹² O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for there is no strength in us to stand before this great multitude that cometh against us, neither do we know what to do: but our eyes ^[d]are toward thee.
