And said,
559
z8799
O LORD
3068
God
430
of our fathers,
1
art not
x3808
thou
x859
God
430
in heauen?
8064
and rulest
4910
z8802
not thou
x859
ouer all
x3605
the kingdoms
4467
of the heathen?
1471
and in thine hand
3027
is [there not] power
3581
and might,
1369
so that none
x369
is able to withstand
3320
z8692
x5973
thee?

20:7
Art not
x3808
thou
x859
our God,
430
who didst driue out
3423
z8689
x853
the inhabitants
3427
z8802
of this
x2063
land
776
before
6440
x4480
thy people
5971
Israel,
3478
and gauest
5414
z8799
it to the seed
2233
of Abraham
85
thy friend
157
z8802
for euer?
5769

20:8
And they dwelt
3427
z8799
therein, and haue built
1129
z8799
thee a Sanctuarie
4720
therein for thy Name,
8034
saying,
559
z8800

20:9
If,
x518
when euill
7451
commeth
935
z8799
vpon
x5921
vs, as the sword,
2719
iudgement,
8196
or pestilence,
1698
or famine,
7458
wee stand
5975
z8799
before
6440
this
x2088
house,
1004
and in thy presence
6440

thy Name
8034
[is] in this
x2088
house)
1004
and cry
2199
z8799
vnto

thee in our affliction,
6869
x4480
then thou wilt heare

z8799
& helpe.
3467
z8686

20:10
And now

behold,
x2009
the children
1121
of Ammon,
5983
and Moab,
4124
and mount
2022

thou wouldest not

935
z8800
when they came

of Egypt,
4714
but
x3588
they turned
5493
z8804
from
x4480
x5921
them, and destroyed
8045
z8689
them not:
x3808

20:11
Beholde,
x2009
[I say], how they
x1992
reward
1580
z8802
x5921
vs, to come
935
z8800
to cast vs out
1644
z8763
of thy possession,
3425
x4480
which

3423
z8689

20:12
O our God,
430
wilt thou not
x3808
iudge
8199
z8799
them? for

wee haue no
x369
might
3581
against

this
x2088
great
7227
company
1995
that commeth

x4100
to doe;
6213
z8799
but
x3588
our eyes
5869
[are] vpon

thee.

20:13
And all
x3605
Iudah
3063
stood
5975
z8802
before

3068
with

their litle ones,
2945
their wiues

and their children.
1121

20:14 ¶
Then vpon

Thus

430

20:16
To morrow
4279
goe ye downe
3381
z8798
against

them: behold,
x2009
they come vp
5927

4608
of Ziz,
6732
and ye shall finde

3385

20:17
Yee shall not

20:18
And Iehoshaphat
3092
bowed
y6915
z8799
his head,
x6915
with his face
639
to the ground:
776
and all
x3605
Iudah,
3063
and the inhabitants
3427
z8802
of Ierusalem,
3389
fell
5307
z8804
before

3068

20:19
And the Leuites,

1121
of
x4480
the Kohathites,
6956
and of
x4480
the children

3478
with a loude

4605

20:20 ¶
And they rose early
7925
z8686
in the morning,
1242
and went foorth
3318
z8799
into the wildernesse
4057
of Tekoa:
8620
and as they went forth,
3318
z8800
Iehoshaphat
3092
stood
5975
z8804
and said,
559
z8799
Heare

beleeue
539
z8685
his Prophets,
5030
so shall yee prosper.
6743
z8685

20:21
And when he had consulted
3289
z8735
with
x413
the people,
5971
he appointed
5975
z8686
Singers
7891
z8789
vnto the LORD,
3068
and that should praise
1984
z8764
the beautie

z8803
and to say,
559
z8802
Praise

2617
[endureth] for euer.
5769

20:22 ¶
And when
6256
they beganne
2490
z8689
to sing
7440
and to praise,
8416
the LORD
3068
set
5414
z8804
ambushments
693
z8764
against
x5921
the children
1121
of Ammon,
5983

4124
and mount
2022

8165
which were come

3063
and they were smitten.
5062
z8735

20:23
For the children
1121
of Ammon
5983
and Moab,
4124
stood vp
5975
z8799
against
x5921
the inhabitants
3427
z8802
of mount
2022
Seir,
8165
vtterly to slay
2763
z8687
and destroy
8045
z8687
[them]: and when they had made an end
3615
z8763
of the inhabitants
3427
z8802
of Seir,
8165
euery one
376
helped
5826
z8804
to destroy
4889
another.
7453

20:24
And when Iudah
3063
came
935
z8804
toward
x5921
the watch-tower
4707
z8677
y4708
in the wildernesse,
4057
they looked
6437
z8799
vnto
x413
the multitude,
1995
and behold,
x2009
they [were] dead bodies
6297
fallen
5307
z8802
to the earth,
776
and none
x369
escaped.
6413

20:25
And when Iehoshaphat
3092
and his people
5971
came
935
z8799
to take away
962
z8800
x853
the spoile
7998
of them, they found
4672
z8799
among them in abundance
7230
both riches
7399
with the dead bodies,
6297
and precious
y2532
x2530
iewels
3627
(which they stript off
5337
z8762
for themselues) more then
369
they could cary away:
4853
and they were
x1961
three
7969
dayes
3117
in gathering
962
z8802
x853
of the spoile,
7998
it
x1931
was so much.
7227

20:26 ¶
And on the fourth
7243
day
3117
they assembled
y6950
z8738
themselues
x6950
in the valley
6010
of Berachah;
1294
for
x3588
there
x8033
they blessed
1288
z8765
x853
the LORD:
3068
therfore
x5921
x3651
x853
the name
8034
of the same
x1931
place
4725
was called
7121
z8804
the valley
6010
of Berachah
1294
vnto
x5704
this day.
3117

20:27
Then they returned,
7725
z8799
euery
x3605
man
376
of Iudah
3063
and Ierusalem,
3389
and Iehoshaphat
3092
in the forefront
7218
of them, to go againe
7725
z8800
to
x413
Ierusalem
3389
with ioy:
8057
for
x3588
the LORD
3068
had made them to reioyce
8055
z8765
ouer their enemies.
341
z8802
x4480

20:28
And they came
935
z8799
to Ierusalem
3389
with Psalteries,
5035
and harpes,
3658
and trumpets,
2689
vnto
x413
the house
1004
of the LORD.
3068

20:29
And the feare
6343
of God
430
was
x1961
on
x5921
all
x3605
the kingdoms
4467
of [those] countreys,
776
when they had heard
8085
z8800
that
x3588
the LORD
3068
fought
3898
z8738
against
x5973
the enemies
341
z8802
of Israel.
3478

20:30
So the Realme
4438
of Iehoshaphat
3092
was quiet;
8252
z8799
for his God
430
gaue him rest
5117
z8799
round about.
5439
x4480

20:31 ¶
And Iehoshaphat
3092
reigned
4427
z8799
ouer
x5921
Iudah:
3063
Hee [was] thirtie
7970
and fiue
2568
yeeres
8141
olde
1121
when hee began to reigne,
4427
z8800
and he reigned
4427
z8804
twentie
6242
and fiue
2568
yeeres
8141
in Ierusalem:
3389
and his mothers
517
name
8034
[was] Azubah
5806
the daughter
1323
of Shilhi.
7977

20:32
And he walked
y3212
z8799
x1980
in the way
1870
of Asa
609
his father,
1
and departed
5493
z8804
not
x3808
from
x4480
it, doing
6213
z8800
that which [was] right
3477
in the sight
5869
of the LORD.
3068

20:33
Howbeit
x389
the high places
1116
were not
x3808
taken away:
5493
z8804
for as yet
x5750
the people
5971
had not
x3808
prepared
3559
z8689
their hearts
3824
vnto the God
430
of their fathers.
1

20:34
Now the rest
3499
of the actes
1697
of Iehoshaphat
3092
first
7223
and last,
314
behold,
x2009
they are written
3789
z8803
in the booke
1697
of Iehu
3058
the sonne
1121
of Hanani;
2607
who
x834
is mentioned
5927
z8717
in
x5921
the booke
5612
of the Kings
4428
of Israel.
3478

20:35 ¶
And after
310
this
x3651
did Iehoshaphat
3092
king
4428
of Iudah
3063
ioine
y2266
z8694
himselfe
x2266
with
x5973
Ahaziah
274
king
4428
of Israel,
3478
who
x1931
did
y6213
z8800
very wickedly:
7561
z8689
x6213

20:36
And he ioyned
2266
z8762
himselfe with
x5973
him to make
6213
z8800
ships
591
to goe
y3212
z8800
x1980
to Tarshish:
8659
and they made
6213
z8799
the ships
591
in Ezion-Geber.
6100

20:37
Then Eliezer
461
the sonne
1121
of Dodanah
1735
of Mareshah,
4762
x4480
prophesied
5012
z8691
against
x5921
Iehoshaphat,
3092
saying;
559
z8800
Because thou hast ioyned
y2266
z8692
thy selfe
x2266
with
x5973
Ahaziah,
274
the LORD
3068
hath broken
6555
z8804
x853
thy workes:
4639
and the ships
591
were broken,
7665
z8735
that they were not able
6113
z8804
x3808
to goe
y3212
z8800
x1980
to
x413
Tarshish.
8659
