| 3 | Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek to Yahweh; and he proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. | Gn 32:7-11 Gn 32:24-28 Ps 56:3 Ps 56:4 Isa 37:3-6 Jon 1:16 Mt 10:28 |
| 4 | Judah gathered themselves together, to seek [help] of Yahweh: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek Yahweh. | Ps 34:5 Ps 34:6 Ps 50:15 Ps 60:10-12 |
| 5 | Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Yahweh, before the new court; | 2Ch 6:12 2Ch 6:13 2Ch 34:31 2Ki 19:15-19 |
| 6 | and he said, Yahweh, the God of our fathers, aren`t you God in heaven? and aren`t you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in your hand is power and might, so that none is able to withstand you. | Ex 3:6 Ex 3:15 Ex 3:16 1Ch 29:18 |

| 9 | If evil come on us, the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house, and before you, (for your name is in this house,) and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save. | 2Ch 6:28-30 1Ki 8:33 1Ki 8:37 |

| 11 | behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit. | Gn 44:4 Ps 7:4 Ps 35:12 Pr 17:13 Jer 18:20 |
| 12 | Our God, will you not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do: but out eyes are on you. | Dt 32:36 Jg 11:27 1Sa 3:13 Ps 7:6 Ps 7:8 Ps 9:19 Ps 43:1 Isa 2:4 Isa 42:4 Jl 3:12 Rev 19:11 |
| 13 | All Judah stood before Yahweh, with their little ones, their wives, and their children. | Dt 29:10 Ezr 10:1 Jon 3:5 Ac 21:5 |
| 14 | Then on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of Yahweh in the midst of the assembly; | Isa 58:9 Isa 65:24 Dn 9:20 Dn 9:21 Ac 10:4 Ac 10:31 |
| 15 | and he said, Listen you, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat: Thus says Yahweh to you, Don`t be afraid you, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God`s. | 2Ch 32:7 2Ch 32:8 Ex 14:13 Ex 14:14 Dt 1:29 Dt 1:30 Dt 20:1 Dt 20:4 Dt 31:6 Dt 31:8 Jsh 11:6 Ne 4:14 Ps 17:1 Ps 17:2 Isa 41:10-16 Isa 43:1 Isa 43:2 |
| 16 | Tomorrow go you down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and you shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel. |
| 17 | You shall not need to fight in this [battle]: set yourselves, stand you still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem; don`t be afraid, nor be dismayed: tomorrow go out against them: for Yahweh is with you. | 2Ch 20:22 2Ch 20:23 Ex 14:13 Ex 14:14 Ex 14:25 |
| 18 | Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Yahweh, worshipping Yahweh. | 2Ch 7:3 Gn 24:26 Ex 4:31 |
| 19 | The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice. | 1Ch 15:16-22 1Ch 16:5 1Ch 16:42 1Ch 23:5 1Ch 25:1-7 |
| 20 | They rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in Yahweh your God, so shall you be established; believe his prophets, so shall you prosper. | 2Ch 11:6 2Sa 14:2 1Ch 4:5 Jer 6:1 |
| 21 | When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who should sing to Yahweh, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to Yahweh; for his lovingkindness endures forever. | 1Ch 13:1 1Ch 13:2 Pr 11:14 |
| 22 | When they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck. | Jg 7:22 1Sa 14:16 1Sa 14:20 2Ki 6:17 Ps 35:5 Ps 35:6 Isa 19:2 Ezk 38:21 |
| 23 | For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, utterly to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy another. | Gn 14:6 Gn 36:8 Gn 36:9 Dt 2:5 Jsh 24:4 Ezk 35:2 Ezk 35:3 |
| 24 | When Judah came to the watch-tower of the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped. | Ex 14:30 1Ch 5:22 Ps 110:6 Isa 37:36 Jer 33:5 |
| 25 | When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much. | Ex 12:35 Ex 12:36 1Sa 30:19 1Sa 30:20 2Ki 7:9-16 Ps 68:12 Ro 8:37 |
| 26 | On the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed Yahweh: therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah to this day. | Ex 15:1-19 2Sa 22:1 Ps 103:1 Ps 103:2 Ps 107:21 Ps 107:22 Lk 1:68 Rev 19:1-6 |
| 27 | Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Yahweh had made them to rejoice over their enemies. | 2Sa 6:14 2Sa 6:15 Mic 2:13 Heb 6:20 |
| 28 | They came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets to the house of Yahweh. | 2Sa 6:5 1Ch 13:8 1Ch 23:5 1Ch 25:6 Ps 57:8 Ps 92:3 Ps 149:3 Ps 150:3-5 Rev 14:2 Rev 14:3 |
| 29 | The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Yahweh fought against the enemies of Israel. | 2Ch 17:10 Gn 35:5 Ex 23:27 Jsh 5:1 2Ki 7:6 |
| 30 | So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest round about. | 2Ch 14:6 2Ch 14:7 2Ch 15:15 Jsh 23:1 2Sa 7:1 Jb 34:29 Pr 16:7 Jn 14:27 |
| 31 | Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother`s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. | 1Ki 22:41-44 |
| 32 | He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn`t turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh. | 2Ch 17:3-6 |
| 33 | However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts to the God of their fathers. | 2Ch 14:3 2Ch 17:6 |
| 34 | Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel. | 2Ch 12:15 2Ch 13:22 2Ch 16:11 |
| 35 | After this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel; the same did very wickedly: | 1Ki 22:48 1Ki 22:49 |
| 36 | and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion-geber. | 1Ki 10:22 |
| 37 | Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has destroyed your works. The ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish. | 2Ch 19:2 Jsh 7:11 Jsh 7:12 Pr 13:20 |
