2Chronicles:20:3-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jehoshaphat feared ,
and set himself to seek the LORD ,
and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah .
*
And Judah gathered themselves together ,
to ask help of the LORD :
even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD .
*
And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem ,
in the house of the LORD ,
before the new court ,
*
And said ,
O LORD God of our fathers ,
art not thou God in heaven ?
and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen ?
and in thine hand is there not power and might ,
so that none is able to withstand thee ?
*
Art not thou our God ,
who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel Yisra #
el #,
and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever ?
*
And they dwelt therein ,
and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name ,
saying ,
*
If ,
when evil cometh upon us ,
as the sword ,
judgment ,
or pestilence ,
or famine ra #
ab #,
we stand before this house ,
and in thy presence , (
for thy name is in this house , )
and cry unto thee in our affliction ,
then thou wilt hear and help .
*
And now ,
behold ,
the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir Se #
iyr #,
whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade ,
when they came out of the land of Egypt ,
but they turned from them ,
and destroyed them not ;
*
Behold ,
I say ,
how they reward us ,
to come to cast us out of thy possession ,
which thou hast given us to inherit .
*
O our God ,
wilt thou not judge them ?
for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us ;
neither know we what to do :
but our eyes are upon thee .
*
And all Judah stood before the LORD ,
with their little ones ,
their wives ,
and their children .
