And Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, and said, “O Lord, God of our fathers, are you not (A)God in heaven? You (B)rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. (C)In your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you. Did you not, our God, (D)drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it forever to the descendants of (E)Abraham your friend? And they have lived in it and have built for you in it a sanctuary for your name, saying, (F)‘If disaster comes upon us, the sword, judgment,[a] or pestilence, or famine, (G)we will stand before this house and before you—(H)for your name is in this house—and cry out to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’ 10 And now behold, the men of (I)Ammon and Moab and (J)Mount Seir, whom (K)you would not let Israel invade when they came from the land of Egypt, (L)and whom they avoided and did not destroy— 11 behold, they reward us (M)by coming to drive us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit. 12 O our God, will you not (N)execute judgment on them? For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but (O)our eyes are on you.”

13 Meanwhile all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

  1. 2 Chronicles 20:9 Or the sword of judgment

Then Jehoshaphat stood up in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem at the temple of the Lord in the front of the new courtyard and said:

Lord, the God of our ancestors,(A) are you not the God who is in heaven?(B) You rule over all the kingdoms(C) of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you.(D) Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land(E) before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?(F) They have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary(G) for your Name, saying, ‘If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine,(H) we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.’

10 “But now here are men from Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, whose territory you would not allow Israel to invade when they came from Egypt;(I) so they turned away from them and did not destroy them. 11 See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession(J) you gave us as an inheritance. 12 Our God, will you not judge them?(K) For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.(L)

13 All the men of Judah, with their wives and children and little ones, stood there before the Lord.
