2 Chronicles 13:10-12
10But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests ministering to the Lord who are sons of Aaron, and Levites for their service. 11They offer to the Lord aevery morning and every evening burnt offerings and incense of sweet spices, set out bthe showbread on the table of pure gold, cand care for the golden lampstand that its lamps may dburn every evening. For we ekeep the charge of the Lord our God, but you have forsaken him. 12Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests fwith their battle trumpets to sound the call to battle against you. O sons of Israel, gdo not fight against the Lord, the God of your fathers, for you cannot succeed.”2 Chronicles 13:16
16The men of Israel fled before Judah, hand God gave them into their hand.2 Chronicles 14:11
11And Asa icried to the Lord his God, “O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, jfor we rely on you, kand in your name we have come against this multitude. O Lord, you are our God; let not man prevail against you.”2 Chronicles 20:12-20
12O our God, will you not lexecute judgment on them? For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but mour eyes are on you.”13Meanwhile all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children. 14And nthe Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. 15And he said, “Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you, o‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, pfor the battle is not yours but God’s. 16Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they will come up by the ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of qthe valley, east of the wilderness of Jeruel. 17 rYou will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’ sDo not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, tand the Lord will be with you.”
18Then Jehoshaphat ubowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. 19And the Levites, of the vKohathites and the wKorahites, stood up to praise the Lord, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.
20And they rose early in the morning and went out into xthe wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! yBelieve in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.”
