1 After this, the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2 Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi).
3 Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to the Lord. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
4 Judah gathered themselves together to seek help from the Lord. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek the Lord.
