1It came to pass after this also, [that] the children of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], and with them [other] beside the ‘Amon [Inbred], came against Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] to battle. 2Then there came some that told Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged], saying, There comes a great multitude against youⁱ from beyond the sea on this side Aram [exalted] (Syria) [exalted]; and, behold, they [be] in Hatzatzon-Tamar [dividing the date-palm], which [is] ‘Ein-Gedi [Fount of the Kid]. 3And Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] feared, and set himself to seek the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and proclaimed a fast throughout all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]. 4And Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] gathered themselves together, to ask [help] of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): even out of all the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] they came to seek the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

5And Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] stood in the congregation of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], in the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), before the new court, 6And said, O LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of our fathers, [are] not youⁱ God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] in heaven? and rule [not] youⁱ over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in yourⁱ hand [is there not] power and might, so that none is able that is to withstand youⁱ? 7[Are] not youⁱ our God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], [who] did drive out the inhabitants of this land before yourⁱ people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and gave it to the seed of Avraham [Exalted Father] yourⁱ friend forever? 8And they dwelt in it, and have built youⁱ a sanctuary in it for yourⁱ name, saying, 9If, [when] evil comes upon us, [as] the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in yourⁱ presence, (for yourⁱ name [is] in this house,) and cry unto youⁱ in our affliction, then youⁱ will hear and help. 10And now, behold, the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] and Mo’av [Seed of my Father] and mount Se’ir [Shaggy], whom youⁱ would not let Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] invade, when they came out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; 11Behold, [I say, how] they reward us, to come to cast us out of yourⁱ possession, which youⁱ have given us to inherit. 12O our God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], will youⁱ not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes [are] upon youⁱ.

13And all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] stood before the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

14Then upon Yachazi’el [beheld of God] the son of Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers], the son of B’nayahu [Yehovah has built], the son of Ye’i’el [God sweeps away], the son of Matanyah [gift of Yehovah], a Levi (Levite) [Joined to] of the sons of Asaf [gatherer], came the Spirit of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the midst of the congregation; 15And he said, Listen you^2f, all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and you^2f inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and youⁱ king Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged], Thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle [is] not yours, but God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]'s. 16Tomorrow go you^2f down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Tzitz [flower]; and you^2f shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Yeru’el [taught by God]. 17You^2f shall not [need] to fight in this [battle]: set yourselves, stand you^2f [still], and see the salvation of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with you, O Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [will be] with you.

18And Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] bowed his head with [his] face to the ground: and all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] fell before the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), worshipping the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 19And the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], of the children of the K’hati, and of the children of the Korchi [of baldness] , stood up to praise the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] with a loud voice on high.

20And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of T’koa [a stockade]: and as they went forth, Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] stood and said, Hear me, O Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and you^2f inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; Believe in the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], so shall you^2f be established; believe his prophets, so shall you^2f prosper. 21And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); for his mercy [endures] forever. 22And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) set ambushes against the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and mount Se’ir [Shaggy], which were come against Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; and they were smitten. 23For the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] and Mo’av [Seed of my Father] stood up against the inhabitants of mount Se’ir [Shaggy], utterly to slay and destroy [them]: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Se’ir [Shaggy], every one helped to destroy another.

24And when Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they [were] dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped. 25And when Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] and his people came to take away the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) of them, they found among them in abundance both 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 of the spoil (plunder; prey; booty), it was so much.

26And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of B’rakhah [blessing]; for there they Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of B’rakhah [blessing], unto this day. 27Then they returned, every man of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] in the forefront of them, to go again to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] with joy; for the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had made them to rejoice over their enemies. 28And they came to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 29And the fear of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] was on all the kingdoms of [those] countries, when they had heard that the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) fought against the enemies of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 30So the realm of Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] was quiet: for his God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] gave him rest round about.

31And Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] reigned over Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]: [he was] thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And his mother's name [was] ‘Azuvah [forsaken] the daughter of Shilchi [armed]. 32And he walked in the way of Asa [healer; injurious?] his father, and departed not from it, doing [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 33However the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of their fathers.

34Now the rest of the acts of Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged], first and last, behold, they [are] written in the book of Yehu [Yehovah is He] the son of Hanani [gracious], who [is] mentioned in the book of the kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

35And after this did Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] join himself with Achazyah [Yehovah possesses] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], who did very wickedly: 36And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish [yellow jasper]: and they made the ships in ‘Etzyon-Gever [backbone of a man]. 37Then Eli’ezer [God is help] the son of Dodavahu [beloved of Yehovah] of Mareshah [Crest of a Hill] prophesied against Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged], saying, Because youⁱ have joined yourself with Achazyah [Yehovah possesses], the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has broken yourⁱ works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish [yellow jasper].
