2 Chronicles 20:20
Compare all
18 And Jehoshaphat abowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the Lord, worshiping the Lord.  
19 Then the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with voices loud and high.
20 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: aBelieve in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.”  
21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, aand who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:
b“Praise the Lord,
cFor His mercy endures forever.”  
22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, athe Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.  
23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they1 had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, athey helped to destroy one another.  
24 So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped.
25 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the1 dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much.  
26 And on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of1 Berachah, for there they blessed the Lord; therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah until this day.
