Chapter 20
1
A posle toga sinovi Moavovi i sinovi Amonovi i s njima koji žive među sinovima Amonovim, dođoše da vojuju na Josafata.
2
I dođoše te javiše Josafatu govoreći: Ide na te veliko mnoštvo ispreko mora, iz Sirije; i eno ih u Asason-Tamaru, a to je En-Gad.
3
A Josafat se uplaši, i obrati lice svoje da traži Gospoda, i oglasi post po svoj zemlji Judinoj.
4
I skupiše se svi sinovi Judini da traže Gospoda, i iz svih gradova Judinih dođoše da traže Gospoda.
5
Tada stade Josafat u zboru Judinom i jerusalimskom u domu Gospodnjem pred tremom novim,
6
i reče: Gospode Bože otaca naših! Nisi li Ti Bog na nebu i vladaš svim carstvima narodnim? Nije li u Tvojoj ruci moć i sila da Ti niko ne može odoleti?
7
Nisi li Ti, Bože naš, odagnao stanovnike ove zemlje ispred naroda svog Izrailja, i dao je navek semenu Avrama prijatelja svog?
8
Te se naseliše u njoj, i sagradiše Ti u njoj svetinju za ime Tvoje govoreći:
9
Kad nas zadesi kako zlo, mač osvetni ili pomor ili glad, staćemo pred ovim domom i pred Tobom, jer je ime Tvoje u ovom domu, i vapićemo Tebi u nevolji svojoj, usliši i izbavi.
10
A sad evo, sinovi Amonovi i Moavovi i oni iz gore Sira, kroz koje nisi dao sinovima Izrailjevim proći kad iđahu iz zemlje misirske, nego ih obiđoše i ne istrebiše;
11
a evo, oni nam vraćaju došavši da nas isteraju iz nasledstva Tvog, koje si nam predao.
12
Bože naš, zar im nećeš suditi? Jer u nama nema snage da se opremo tom mnoštvu velikom, koje ide na nas, niti znamo šta bismo činili, nego su oči naše uprte u Te.
13
A svi sinovi Judini stajahu pred Gospodom i deca njihova, žene njihove i sinovi njihovi.
14
Tada siđe duh Gospodnji usred zbora na Jazila sina Zaharije sina Venaje sina Jeila sina Matanijinog, Levita između sinova Asafovih,
15
i reče: Slušajte, svi sinovi Judini i Jerusalimljani, i ti care Josafate, ovako vam veli Gospod: Ne bojte se i ne plašite se tog mnoštva velikog, jer nije vaš rat nego Božji.
16
Sutra izađite na njih; oni će poći uz brdo Zis, i naći ćete ih nakraj potoka prema pustinji Jeruilu.
17
Ne treba vi da se bijete u ovom boju; postavite se, stojte pa gledajte kako će vas izbaviti Gospod, Judo i Jerusalime! Ne bojte se i ne plašite se, sutra iziđite pred njih, i Gospod će biti s vama.
18
Tada se Josafat savi licem k zemlji, i svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani padoše pred Gospodom, i pokloniše se Gospodu.
19
A Leviti od sinova Katovih i sinova Korejevih ustaše, te hvališe Gospoda Boga Izrailjevog glasom veoma visokim.
20
A ujutru ustavši rano iziđoše u pustinju tekujsku; a kad izlažahu, stade Josafat i reče: Čujte me, Judejci i Jerusalimljani: verujte Gospodu Bogu svom i bićete jaki, verujte prorocima Njegovim i bićete srećni.
21
I tako dogovoriv se s narodom postavi pevače Gospodnje da hvale svetu krasotu idući pred vojskom i govoreći:
Hvalite Gospoda,
jer je doveka milost Njegova.
22
A kad počeše pesmu i hvalu, obrati Gospod zasedu na sinove Amonove i sinove Moavove i na one iz gore Sira, koji iziđoše na Judu, te se razbiše.
23
Jer sinovi Amonovi i sinovi Moavovi ustaše na one iz gore Sira da ih pobiju i potru; i kad pobiše one iz gore Sira, udariše jedni na druge, te se potrše.
24
A kad Juda dođe do stražare prema pustinji, i pogleda na mnoštvo, a to mrtva telesa leže po zemlji, i nijedan ne beše ostao živ.
25
Zato dođe Josafat sa narodom svojim da pokupi plen; i nađoše kod njih mnogo blaga i dragocenih nakita na mrtvacima, i napleniše da već ne mogoše nositi; tri dana kupiše plen, jer ga beše mnogo.
26
A četvrti dan skupiše se u dolini blagoslovnoj, jer onde blagosloviše Gospoda; zato se prozva mesto Dolina Blagoslovna do danas.
27
Potom okrenuše svi Judejci i Jerusalimljani i Josafat pred njima da se vrate u Jerusalim s veseljem, jer ih oveseli Gospod neprijateljima njihovim.
28
I dođoše u Jerusalim sa psaltirima i guslama i trubama u dom Gospodnji.
29
I strah Božji dođe na sva carstva zemaljska kad čuše da je Gospod vojevao na neprijatelje Izrailjeve.
30
I tako se smiri carstvo Josafatovo, jer mu Bog njegov dade mir odsvuda.
31
I carovaše Josafat nad Judom; trideset i pet godina beše mu kad poče carovati; i carova dvadeset i pet godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu beše ime Azuva, kći Silejeva.
32
I hođaše putem oca svog Ase, niti zađe s njega, čineći što je pravo pred Gospodom.
33
Ali visine ne biše oborene, jer još ne beše narod upravio srca svog k Bogu otaca svojih.
34
A ostala dela Josafatova prva i poslednja, eno zapisana su u knjizi Juja sina Ananijevog, koje je stavljena u knjigu o carevima Izrailjevim.
35
Potom združi se Josafat, car Judin s Ohozijom, carem Izrailjevim, koji činjaše bezakonje.
36
A združi se s njim zato da načine lađe da idu u Tarsis; i načiniše lađe u Esion-Gaveru.
37
Tada prorokova Elijezer sin Dodavin iz Marise za Josafata govoreći: Što si se združio s Ohozijom, zato Gospod razmetnu dela tvoja. I razbiše se lađe i ne mogoše ići u Tarsis.
2 Chronicles
Chapter 20
1
It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2
Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazon-tamar, which is En-gedi.
3
And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
4
And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.
5
¶ And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,
6
And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
7
Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
8
And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
9
If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.
10
And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
11
Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
12
O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
13
And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14
¶ Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
15
And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
16
To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
17
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.
18
And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
19
And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
20
¶ And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
21
And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.
22
¶ And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
23
For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
24
And when Judah 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.
25
And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil 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, it was so much.
26
¶ And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
27
Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
28
And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.
29
And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
30
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
31
¶ And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
32
And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.
33
Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
34
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.
35
¶ And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
36
And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
37
Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
