2 Chronicles 20:12, 15, 17, 20-21

Our God, won’t you please judge them? We don’t have the power to face this huge army that’s attacking us. We don’t know what to do. But we’re looking to you to help us.”

Jahaziel said, “King Jehoshaphat, listen! All you who live in Judah and Jerusalem, listen! The LORD says to you, ‘Do not be afraid. Do not lose hope because of this huge army. The battle is not yours. It is God’s.

You will not have to fight this battle. Take your positions. Stand firm. You will see how the LORD will save you. Judah and Jerusalem, do not be afraid. Do not lose hope. Go out and face them tomorrow. The LORD will be with you.’ ”

Early in the morning all the people left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they started out, Jehoshaphat stood up. He said, “Judah, listen to me! People of Jerusalem, listen to me! Have faith in the LORD your God. He’ll take good care of you. Have faith in his prophets. Then you will have success.” Jehoshaphat asked the people for advice. Then he appointed men to sing to the LORD. He wanted them to praise the LORD because of his glory and holiness. They marched out in front of the army. They said, “Give thanks to the LORD. His faithful love continues forever.”
