Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’ (E)Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, (F)and the Lord will be with you.”

18 Then Jehoshaphat (G)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 (H)Kohathites and the (I)Korahites, stood up to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.

20 And they rose early in the morning and went out into (J)the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! (K)Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.”
