Impossible battle
Eyes on God + praise

2 ipeople told Jehoshaphat,
“A vast army is coming against you
from Edom ...

3 iAlarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved
to inquire of the Lord ...

12 i... For we have no power to face
this vast army that is attacking us.
We do not know what to do,
but our eyes are on you.”

14-15 iJahaziel ... said: “Listen, King ...
This is what the Lord says to you:
‘Do not be afraid or discouraged
because of this vast army. For
the battle is not yours, but God’s.

17 iYou will not have to fight this battle.

21 i... Jehoshaphat appointed men
to sing to the Lord and to praise him
... at the head of the army ...

23 iThe Ammonites and Moabites ...
destroy one another.

25 iJehoshaphat and his men went
to carry off their plunder ... so much
that it took 3 days to collect it.

30 iAnd the kingdom of Jehoshaphat
was at peace, for his God had given him
rest on every side.
