2 Chronicles 20:5-12 ▼

5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of YHWH, before the new court,

6 and he said, “O YHWH, God of our fathers, are You not He, the God in the heavens? And You are ruling over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand are power and might, and there is no one to stand against You.

7 Are not You our God, who drove out those dwelling in this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the seed of Abraham Your friend forever?

8 And they dwell in it and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying,

9 ‘If disaster comes upon us, sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house and before you—for Your Name is in this house—and we will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear and save.’

10 And behold the sons of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom You would not give to Israel to enter against them when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them and they did not destroy them.

11 And behold, they are recompensing to us by coming to throw us out of Your possession, which You have given us to inherit.

12 Our God, will You not bring judgment against them? For there is no power in us before the face of this great multitude that is coming against us, and we do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
