And it came to pass after this, that the children of Mo᾽av, and the children of ῾Ammon, and with them some of the Me῾unim, came against Yehoshafat to battle.

And it was, after this, that there came the sons of Moav and the sons of Ammon, and with them, some of the Ammonites [(Amalekites)] against Yehoshafat to war.

Then there came some that told Yehoshafat, saying, There comes a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea from Aram; and, behold, they are in Ḥażeżon-tamar, which is ῾En-gedi.

And they came and told Yehoshafat: There has come against you a great multitude from across the sea, from Aram, and, behold, they are in Chatzetzon-tamar (which is Ein-Gedi).

And Yehoshafat was afraid, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Yehuda.

And he feared, and Yehoshafat set his face to seek the L rd, and he called out a fast over all of Judah.

And Yehuda gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Yehuda they came to seek the Lord.

And Judah gathered to seek out the L rd; also, from all the cities of Judah they came to seek out the L rd.

And Yehoshafat stood in the congregation of Yehuda and Yerushalayim, in the house of the Lord, before the new court,

And Yehoshafat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the L rd, before the new court.

And said, O Lord God of our fathers, are not Thou God in heaven? and dost Thou not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in Thy hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand Thee?

And he said: O L rd, G d of our fathers, are You not G d in heaven? and You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is power and strength, and none can withstand You.

Are Thou not our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before Thy people Yisra᾽el, and didst give it to the seed of Avraham Thy friend for ever?

Did not, You, our G d, drive out the dwellers of this land before Your people Israel and give it to the seed of Abraham Your lover forever?

And they dwelt in it, and have built Thee a sanctuary there for Thy name, saying,

And they dwelt in it and built for You in it a sanctuary to Your name, saying:

If, when evil come upon us, sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in Thy presence, (for Thy name is in this house,) and cry to Thee in our affliction, then Thou wilt hear and help.

If there come upon us evil: sword, judgment, pestilence or famine, we shall stand before this house and before You (for Your name is in this house), and we will cry out to You in our straits, and You will hear and help.

And now, behold, the children of ῾Ammon and Mo᾽av and mount Se῾ir, whom Thou wouldst not let Yisra᾽el invade, when they came out of the land of Miżrayim, but they turned from them, and did not destroy them;

And now, behold, the sons of Ammon and Moav and Mount Seir, against whom You did not allow Israel to come when they came out of the land of Egypt — but they turned away from them and did not destroy them —

behold, they rewarded us, by coming to cast us out of Thy possession, which Thou hast given us to inherit.

And, behold, they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of Your inheritance which You have bequeathed to us —

O our God, wilt Thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that comes against us; nor do we know what to do: but our eyes are upon Thee.

Our G d, will You not execute judgment upon them? For we are powerless before this great multitude that comes against us, and we know not what to do [(to save ourselves)], but our eyes are upon You [to save us].

And all Yehuda stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

And all of Judah stood before the L rd — even their infants, their wives, and their little ones.

Then upon Yaĥazi᾽el the son of Zekharyahu, the son of Benaya, the son of Ye῾i᾽el, the son of Mattanya, a Levite of the sons of Asaf, came the spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation;

And Yachaziel the son of Zecharyahu the son of Benayah the son of Yeiel the son of Matanyah the Levite of the sons of Asaf — the spirit of the L rd was upon him in the midst of the assembly.

and he said, Hearken, all Yehuda, and you inhabitants of Yerushalayim, and thou king Yehoshafat, Thus says the Lord to you, Do not be afraid or dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

And he said: Hear, all of Judah and the dwellers of Jerusalem and King Yehoshafat: Thus says the L rd to you: You shall not fear and you shall not break before this great multitude. For the war is not yours, but G d's.

To morrow go down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Żiż; and you shall find them at the end of the wadi, before the wilderness of Yeru᾽el.

Tomorrow, descend upon them. Behold, they are coming up by the Tzitz ascent. You will find them at the end of the valley before the desert of Yeruel.

You shall not need to fight in this battle: take up your positions, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Yehuda and Yerushalayim: do not fear, or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.

It is not for you to fight in this [war]. Ready yourselves. Stand and see the salvation of the L rd with you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not fear and do not break. Tomorrow, go out before them and the L rd will be with you.

And Yehoshafat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Yehuda and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim fell before the Lord, prostrating themselves before the Lord.

And Yehoshafat bowed down with his face to the ground and all of Judah and the dwellers of Jerusalem fell before the L rd to prostrate themselves to the L rd.

And the Levites, of the children of the Qehatim, and of the children of the Qorĥim, stood up to praise the Lord God of Yisra᾽el with a loud voice on high.

And the Levites rose, of the sons of the Kehothites and of the sons of the Korchites, to praise the L rd, the G d of Israel, with a great voice on high.

And they rose early in the morning, and went out into the wilderness of Teqo῾a: and as they went out, Yehoshafat stood and said, Hear me, O Yehuda, and you inhabitants of Yerushalayim; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established; believe in his prophets, so shall you prosper.

And they rose early in the morning and they went out to the desert of Tekoa. And when they went out, Yehoshafat stood and said: Hear me, Judah and the dwellers of Jerusalem. Believe in the L rd your G d and you will prevail. Believe in His prophets and prosper.

And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers to the Lord, who should praise in the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and who should say, Give thanks to the Lord; for his steadfast love endures for ever.

And he counseled the people and he set up singers to the L rd and extollers of the glory of the Holy One to say, when (they) went out before the vanguard: "Give thanks to the L rd, for His lovingkindness endures forever!"

And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set an ambush against the children of ῾Ammon, Mo᾽av, and mount Se῾ir, who were come against Yehuda; and they were routed.

And when they began with song and praise, the L rd set an ambush against the sons of Ammon and Moav and Mount Seir who were coming against Judah, and they were struck down.

For the children of ῾Ammon and Mo᾽av rose against the inhabitants of mount Se῾ir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Se῾ir, they all helped to destroy one another.

And the sons of Ammon and Moav rose against the dwellers of Mount Seir to destroy and to annihilate. And when they had finished with the dwellers of Seir, each helped his friend to destroy [(whoever was at hand)].

And when Yehuda came to the watchtower in the wilderness, they looked upon the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none had escaped.

And Judah came to the desert lookout, and they turned to the multitude, and, behold, corpses falling to the ground, no one surviving.

And when Yehoshafat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them abundance of riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering the spoil, it was so much.

And Yehoshafat and his people came to plunder their spoils. And they found them in abundance — property, corpses, and precious vessels — and they pillaged them until they could carry no more. They were three days plundering the spoils in their abundance.

And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berakha; (for there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Berakha, unto this day.)

And on the fourth day they assembled in Emek Berachah [("the valley of blessing")]. For there they blessed the L rd, wherefore they called that place Emek Berachah, until this day.

Then they returned, every man of Yehuda and Yerushalayim, and Yehoshafat at their head, to go back to Yerushalayim with joy; for the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies.

And all the men of Judah and Jerusalem with Yehoshafat at their head returned, to return to Jerusalem with joy, for the L rd had "joyed" them over their enemies.

And they came to Yerushalayim with lutes and lyres and trumpets to the house of the Lord.

And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries, with harps, and with trumpets to the house of the L rd.

And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Yisra᾽el.

And the fear of G d was over all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the L rd had warred with the foes of Israel.

So the realm of Yehoshafat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.

And the kingdom of Yehoshafat was quiet, and His G d gave him rest from [his enemies] roundabout.

And Yehoshafat reigned over Yehuda: he was thirty five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for twenty five years in Yerushalayim. And his mother’s name was Azuva the daughter of Shilĥi.

And Yehoshafat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he [began to] reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azuvah, the daughter of Shilchi.

And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and did not depart from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.

And he went in the way of Assa his father, not turning from it, to do what is just in the eyes of the L rd.

But the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.

But the mounds were not removed, and the people still did not ready their hearts to the G d of their fathers.

Now the rest of the acts of Yehoshafat, first and last, behold, they are written in the records of Yehu the son of Ḥanani, which are inserted in the book of the kings of Yisra᾽el.

And the rest of the events (of the reign) of Yehoshafat, the earlier and the later, are recorded in the words of Yehu the son of Chanani, which were inserted in the book [of chronicles] of the kings of Israel.

And after this Yehoshafat king of Yehuda joined himself with Aĥazya king of Yisra᾽el, who did very wickedly:

And afterwards, Yehoshafat king of Judah joined Achazyah king of Israel, though he [Achazyah] wrought wickedly.

and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in ῾Eżyon-gever.

And he [Yehoshafat] joined him [Achazyah] with him to make ships to go to Tarshish. And they made ships in Etzyon-gaver.

Then Eli῾ezer the son of Dodavahu of Maresha prophesied against Yehoshafat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Aĥazyahu, the Lord will destroy what thou hast done. And the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

And Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied over Yehoshafat: "Because you joined yourself with Achazyahu, the L rd has breached your works." And the ships were broken and they were unable to go to Tarshish.
