Jehoshaphat Faces War

20 Later the Moabites, Ammonites, and some Meunites came to start a war with Jehoshaphat. ² Messengers came and told Jehoshaphat, “A ·large army [vast horde; ^Tgreat multitude] is coming against you from ·Edom [^Lbeyond the sea; ^Cthe Dead Sea]. They are already in Hazazon Tamar (that is, En Gedi)!” ³ Jehoshaphat was ·afraid [alarmed], so he decided to ·ask the Lord what to do [seek the Lord]. He announced that everyone in Judah should fast. ⁴ The people of Judah ·came together [assembled] to ·ask the Lord for help [seek the Lord]; they came from every town in Judah.
