King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. It came to pass[H1961] after[H310] this[H3651] also, that the children[H1121] of Moab,[H4124] and the children[H1121] of Ammon,[H5983] and with[H5973] them other beside[H4480] the Ammonites,[H5984] came[H935] against[H5921] Jehoshaphat[H3092] to battle.[H4421]

2. Then there came[H935] some that told[H5046] Jehoshaphat,[H3092] saying,[H559] There cometh[H935] a great[H7227] multitude[H1995] against[H5921] thee from beyond[H4480] [H5676] the sea[H3220] on this side Syria;[H4480] [H758] and, behold,[H2009] they be in Hazazon-tamar,[H2688] which[H1931] is En-gedi.[H5872]

3. And Jehoshaphat[H3092] feared,[H3372] and set[H5414] [H853] himself[H6440] to seek[H1875] the LORD,[H3068] and proclaimed[H7121] a fast[H6685] throughout[H5921] all[H3605] Judah.[H3063]

4. And Judah[H3063] gathered themselves together,[H6908] to ask[H1245] help of[H4480] the LORD:[H3068] even[H1571] out of all[H4480] [H3605] the cities[H5892] of Judah[H3063] they came[H935] to seek[H1245] [H853] the LORD.[H3068]

5. And Jehoshaphat[H3092] stood[H5975] in the congregation[H6951] of Judah[H3063] and Jerusalem,[H3389] in the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] before[H6440] the new[H2319] court,[H2691]

6. And said,[H559] O LORD[H3068] God[H430] of our fathers,[H1] art not[H3808] thou[H859] God[H430] in heaven?[H8064] and rulest[H4910] not thou[H859] over all[H3605] the kingdoms[H4467] of the heathen?[H1471] and in thine hand[H3027] is there not power[H3581] and might,[H1369] so that none[H369] is able to withstand[H3320] [H5973] thee?

7. Art not[H3808] thou[H859] our God,[H430] who didst drive out[H3423] [H853] the inhabitants[H3427] of this[H2063] land[H776] before[H4480] [H6440] thy people[H5971] Israel,[H3478] and gavest[H5414] it to the seed[H2233] of Abraham[H85] thy friend[H157] forever?[H5769]

8. And they dwelt[H3427] therein, and have built[H1129] thee a sanctuary[H4720] therein for thy name,[H8034] saying,[H559]

9. If,[H518] when evil[H7451] cometh[H935] upon[H5921] us, as the sword,[H2719] judgment,[H8196] or pestilence,[H1698] or famine,[H7458] we stand[H5975] before[H6440] this[H2088] house,[H1004] and in thy presence,[H6440] (for[H3588] thy name[H8034] is in this[H2088] house,)[H1004] and cry[H2199] unto[H413] thee in our affliction,[H4480] [H6869] then thou wilt hear[H8085] and help.[H3467]

10. And now,[H6258] behold,[H2009] the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983] and Moab[H4124] and mount[H2022] Seir,[H8165] whom[H834] thou wouldest not[H3808] let[H5414] Israel[H3478] invade,[H935] when they came[H935] out of the land[H4480] [H776] of Egypt,[H4714] but[H3588] they turned[H5493] from[H4480] [H5921] them, and destroyed[H8045] them not;[H3808]

11. Behold,[H2009] I say, how they[H1992] reward[H1580] [H5921] us, to come[H935] to cast us out[H1644] of thy possession,[H4480] [H3425] which[H834] thou hast given us to inherit.[H3423]

12. O our God,[H430] wilt thou not[H3808] judge[H8199] them? for[H3588] we have no[H369] might[H3581] against[H6440] this[H2088] great[H7227] company[H1995] that cometh[H935] against[H5921] us; neither[H3808] know[H3045] we[H587] what[H4100] to do:[H6213] but[H3588] our eyes[H5869] are upon[H5921] thee.

13. And all[H3605] Judah[H3063] stood[H5975] before[H6440] the LORD,[H3068] with[H1571] their little ones,[H2945] their wives,[H802] and their children.[H1121]

14. Then upon[H5921] Jahaziel[H3166] the son[H1121] of Zechariah,[H2148] the son[H1121] of Benaiah,[H1141] the son[H1121] of Jeiel,[H3273] the son[H1121] of Mattaniah,[H4983] a Levite[H3881] of[H4480] the sons[H1121] of Asaph,[H623] came[H1961] the Spirit[H7307] of the LORD[H3068] in the midst[H8432] of the congregation;[H6951]

15. And he said,[H559] Hearken[H7181] ye, all[H3605] Judah,[H3063] and ye inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem,[H3389] and thou king[H4428] Jehoshaphat,[H3092] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] unto you, Be not afraid[H859] [H3372] [H408] nor[H408] dismayed[H2865] by reason of[H4480] [H6440] this[H2088] great[H7227] multitude;[H1995] for[H3588] the battle[H4421] is not[H3808] yours, but[H3588] God's.[H430]

16. Tomorrow[H4279] go ye down[H3381] against[H5921] them: behold,[H2009] they come up[H5927] by the cliff[H4608] of Ziz;[H6732] and ye shall find[H4672] them at the end[H5490] of the brook,[H5158] before[H6440] the wilderness[H4057] of Jeruel.[H3385]

17. Ye shall not[H3808] need to fight[H3898] in this[H2063] battle: set yourselves,[H3320] stand[H5975] ye still, and see[H7200] [H853] the salvation[H3444] of the LORD[H3068] with[H5973] you, O Judah[H3063] and Jerusalem:[H3389] fear[H3372] not,[H408] nor[H408] be dismayed;[H2865] tomorrow[H4279] go out[H3318] against[H6440] them: for the LORD[H3068] will be with[H5973] you.

18. And Jehoshaphat[H3092] bowed his head[H6915] with his face[H639] to the ground:[H776] and all[H3605] Judah[H3063] and the inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389] fell[H5307] before[H6440] the LORD,[H3068] worshiping[H7812] the LORD.[H3068]

19. And the Levites,[H3881] of the children[H1121] of[H4480] the Kohathites,[H6956] and of[H4480] the children[H1121] of the Korhites,[H7145] stood up[H6965] to praise[H1984] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel[H3478] with a loud[H1419] voice[H6963] on high.[H4605]

20. And they rose early[H7925] in the morning,[H1242] and went forth[H3318] into the wilderness[H4057] of Tekoa:[H8620] and as they went forth,[H3318] Jehoshaphat[H3092] stood[H5975] and said,[H559] Hear[H8085] me, O Judah,[H3063] and ye inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem;[H3389] Believe[H539] in the LORD[H3068] your God,[H430] so shall ye be established;[H539] believe[H539] his prophets,[H5030] so shall ye prosper.[H6743]

21. And when he had consulted[H3289] with[H413] the people,[H5971] he appointed[H5975] singers[H7891] unto the LORD,[H3068] and that should praise[H1984] the beauty[H1927] of holiness,[H6944] as they went out[H3318] before[H6440] the army,[H2502] and to say,[H559] Praise[H3034] the LORD;[H3068] for[H3588] his mercy[H2617] endureth forever.[H5769]

22. And when[H6256] they began[H2490] to sing[H7440] and to praise,[H8416] the LORD[H3068] set[H5414] ambushments[H693] against[H5921] the children[H1121] of Ammon,[H5983] Moab,[H4124] and mount[H2022] Seir,[H8165] which were come[H935] against Judah;[H3063] and they were smitten.[H5062]

23. For the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983] and Moab[H4124] stood up[H5975] against[H5921] the inhabitants[H3427] of mount[H2022] Seir,[H8165] utterly to slay[H2763] and destroy[H8045] them: and when they had made an end[H3615] of the inhabitants[H3427] of Seir,[H8165] every one[H376] helped[H5826] to destroy[H4889] another.[H7453]

24. And when Judah[H3063] came[H935] toward[H5921] the watch tower[H4707] in the wilderness,[H4057] they looked[H6437] unto[H413] the multitude,[H1995] and, behold,[H2009] they were dead bodies[H6297] fallen[H5307] to the earth,[H776] and none[H369] escaped.[H6413]

25. And when Jehoshaphat[H3092] and his people[H5971] came[H935] to take away[H962] [H853] the spoil[H7998] of them, they found[H4672] among them in abundance[H7230] both riches[H7399] with the dead bodies,[H6297] and precious[H2530] jewels,[H3627] which they stripped off[H5337] for themselves, more than[H369] they could carry away:[H4853] and they were[H1961] three[H7969] days[H3117] in gathering[H962] [H853] of the spoil,[H7998] it[H1931] was so much.[H7227]

26. And on the fourth[H7243] day[H3117] they assembled themselves[H6950] in the valley[H6010] of Berachah;[H1294] for[H3588] there[H8033] they blessed[H1288] [H853] the LORD:[H3068] therefore[H5921] [H3651] [H853] the name[H8034] of the same[H1931] place[H4725] was called,[H7121] The valley[H6010] of Berachah,[H1294] unto[H5704] this day.[H3117]

27. Then they returned,[H7725] every[H3605] man[H376] of Judah[H3063] and Jerusalem,[H3389] and Jehoshaphat[H3092] in the forefront[H7218] of them, to go again[H7725] to[H413] Jerusalem[H3389] with joy;[H8057] for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] had made them to rejoice[H8055] over their enemies.[H4480] [H341]

28. And they came[H935] to Jerusalem[H3389] with psalteries[H5035] and harps[H3658] and trumpets[H2689] unto[H413] the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

29. And the fear[H6343] of God[H430] was[H1961] on[H5921] all[H3605] the kingdoms[H4467] of those countries,[H776] when they had heard[H8085] that[H3588] the LORD[H3068] fought[H3898] against[H5973] the enemies[H341] of Israel.[H3478]

30. So the realm[H4438] of Jehoshaphat[H3092] was quiet:[H8252] for his God[H430] gave him rest[H5117] round about.[H4480] [H5439]

31. And Jehoshaphat[H3092] reigned[H4427] over[H5921] Judah:[H3063] he was thirty[H7970] and five[H2568] years[H8141] old[H1121] when he began to reign,[H4427] and he reigned[H4427] twenty[H6242] and five[H2568] years[H8141] in Jerusalem.[H3389] And his mother's[H517] name[H8034] was Azubah[H5806] the daughter[H1323] of Shilhi.[H7977]

32. And he walked[H1980] in the way[H1870] of Asa[H609] his father,[H1] and departed[H5493] not[H3808] from[H4480] it, doing[H6213] that which was right[H3477] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD.[H3068]

33. Howbeit[H389] the high places[H1116] were not[H3808] taken away:[H5493] for as yet[H5750] the people[H5971] had not[H3808] prepared[H3559] their hearts[H3824] unto the God[H430] of their fathers.[H1]

34. Now the rest[H3499] of the acts[H1697] of Jehoshaphat,[H3092] first[H7223] and last,[H314] behold,[H2009] they are written[H3789] in the book[H1697] of Jehu[H3058] the son[H1121] of Hanani,[H2607] who[H834] is mentioned[H5927] in[H5921] the book[H5612] of the kings[H4428] of Israel.[H3478]

35. And after[H310] this[H3651] did Jehoshaphat[H3092] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] join himself[H2266] with[H5973] Ahaziah[H274] king[H4428] of Israel,[H3478] who[H1931] did very wickedly:[H7561] [H6213]

36. And he joined[H2266] himself with[H5973] him to make[H6213] ships[H591] to go[H1980] to Tarshish:[H8659] and they made[H6213] the ships[H591] in Ezion-geber.[H6100]

37. Then Eliezer[H461] the son[H1121] of Dodavah[H1735] of Mareshah[H4480] [H4762] prophesied[H5012] against[H5921] Jehoshaphat,[H3092] saying,[H559] Because thou hast joined thyself[H2266] with[H5973] Ahaziah,[H274] the LORD[H3068] hath broken[H6555] [H853] thy works.[H4639] And the ships[H591] were broken,[H7665] that they were not able[H6113] [H3808] to go[H1980] to[H413] Tarshish.[H8659]
