Jehoshaphat and Jehoram - 2 Chronicles 19-21

Jehoshaphat Returns to Jerusalem

[4] So Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem. Indeed, he returned and went out among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and caused them to return back to Yahweh, the God of their fathers. [2Ch 19:4 LSB]

Jehoshaphat Appoints Judges


Jehoshaphat Defeats Moab and Ammon

[3] And Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek Yahweh, and called for a fast throughout all Judah. [4] So Judah gathered together to seek [help] from Yahweh; they even came from all the cities of Judah to seek Yahweh. [2Ch 20:3-4 LSB]

[17] 'You [need] not fight in this [battle]; take your stand--stand and see the salvation of Yahweh on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out to face them, for Yahweh is with you." [2Ch 20:17 LSB]

[22] When they began singing for joy and praising, Yahweh set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were defeated. [2Ch 20:22 LSB]

Jehoram Reigns over Judah

Revolt Against Judah

[16] Then Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and the Arabs who bordered the Ethiopians; [2Ch 21:16 LSB]
