12 Oh our God, will you 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 on you.

12 κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, οὐ κρινεῖς ἐν αὐτοῖς; ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἰσχὺς τοῦ ἀντιστῆναι πρὸς τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο τὸ ἐλθὸν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς, καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ποιήσωμεν αὐτοῖς, ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐπὶ σοί οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.	12 Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, οὐ κρινεῖς ἐν αὐτοῖς; ὅτι οὐκ ἐστιν ἡμῖν ἰσχὺς τοῦ ἀντιστῆναι πρὸς τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο τὸ ἐλθὸν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς, καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ποιήσωμεν αὐτοῖς, ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐπὶ σοί οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.

16 αὔριον κατάβητε ἐπ’ αὐτούς· ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνουσιν κατὰ τὴν ἀνάβασιν Ἀσάς, καὶ εὑρήσετε αὐτοὺς ἐπ’ ἄκρου ποταμοῦ τῆς ἐρήμου Ἰεριήλ.	16 αὔριον κατάβητε ἐπ’ αὐτούς· ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνουσι κατὰ τὴν ἀνάβασιν Ἀσάς, καὶ εὑρήσετε αὐτοὺς ἐπ’ ἄκρου ποταμοῦ τῆς ἐρήμου Ἰεριήλ.

20 καὶ ὤρθρισαν πρωῒ καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Θεκωέ, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν ἔστη Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ ἐβόησεν καὶ εἶπεν ἀκούσατέ μου, Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· ἐμπιστεύσατε ἐν κυρίῳ θεῷ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐμπιστευθήσεσθε· ἐμπιστεύσατε ἐν προφήτῃ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐοδωθήσεσθε.	20 Καὶ ὤρθρισαν πρωῒ καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Θεκωέ, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτοὺς ἔστη Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ ἐβόησε καὶ εἶπε· ἀκούσατέ μου Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· ἐμπιστεύσατε ἐν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐμπιστευθήσεσθε· ἐμπιστεύσατε ἐν προφήτῃ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐοδωθήσεσθε.
20 And they rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Thecoe; and as they went out, Josaphat stood and cried, and said, Hear me, Jouda, and the dwellers in Jerousalēm; put your trust in the Lord God, and your trust shall be honored; trust in his prophet, and you shall prosper.	20 And they rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Thecoe; and as they went out, Josaphat stood and cried, and said, Hear me, Jouda, and the dwellers in Jerousalēm; put your trust in the Lord God, and your trust shall be honored; trust in his prophet, and you shall prosper.

21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers to Yahweh, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise Yahweh; for his mercy endures forever.

21 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἔστησεν ψαλτῳδοὺς καὶ αἰνοῦντας ἐξομολογεῖσθαι καὶ αἰνεῖν τὰ ἅγια ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ ἔλεγον ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ.	21 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἔστησε ψαλτῳδοὺς καὶ αἰνοῦντας ἐξομολογεῖσθαι καὶ αἰνεῖν τὰ ἅγια ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ ἔλεγον· ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ.

22 And when they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

22 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἄρξασθαι τῆς αἰνέσεως αὐτοῦ τῆς ἐξομολογήσεως ἔδωκεν κύριος πολεμεῖν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν ἐπὶ Μωὰβ καὶ ὄρος Σηὶρ τοὺς ἐξελθόντας ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ ἐτροπώθησαν.	22 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἄρξασθαι αὐτοὺς τῆς αἰνέσεως καὶ τῆς ἐξομολογήσεως ἔδωκε Κύριος πολεμεῖν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν ἐπὶ Μωὰβ καὶ ὄρος Σηεὶρ τοὺς ἐξελθόντας ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ ἐτροπώθησαν.

23 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ Μωὰβ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ὄρος Σηὶρ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι καὶ ἐκτρῖψαι· καὶ ὡς συνετέλεσαν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Σηίρ, ἀνέστησαν εἰς ἀλλήλους τοῦ ἐξολεθρευθῆναι.	23 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ Μωὰβ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ὄρος Σηεὶρ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι καὶ ἐκτρῖψαι αὐτούς· καὶ ὡς συνετέλεσαν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Σηείρ, ἀνέστησαν εἰς ἀλλήλους τοῦ ἐξολοθρευθῆναι.

24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked to the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

24 καὶ Ἰούδας ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν σκοπιὰν τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν καὶ εἶδεν τὸ πλῆθος, καὶ ἰδοὺ πάντες νεκροὶ πεπτωκότες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐκ ἦν σῳζόμενος.	24 καὶ Ἰούδας ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν σκοπιὰν τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ἐπέβλεψε καὶ εἶδε τὸ πλῆθος, καὶ ἰδοὺ πάντες νεκροὶ πεπτωκότες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐκ ἦν σωζόμενος.

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.

25 καὶ ἦλθεν Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ σκυλεῦσαι τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν καὶ εὗρον κτήνη πολλὰ καὶ ἀποσκευὴν καὶ σκῦλα καὶ σκεύη ἐπιθυμητὰ καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν ἑαυτοῖς, καὶ ἐγένοντο ἡμέραι τρεῖς σκυλευόντων αὐτῶν τὰ σκῦλα, ὅτι πολλὰ ἦν.	25 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ σκυλεῦσαι τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν καὶ εὗρον κτήνη πολλὰ καὶ ἀποσκευὴν καὶ σκῦλα καὶ σκεύη ἐπιθυμητὰ καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἐγένοντο ἡμέραι τρεῖς σκυλευόντων αὐτῶν τὰ σκῦλα, ὅτι πολλὰ ἦν.
25 And Josaphat and his people went out to spoil them, and they found much cattle, and furniture, and spoils, and precious things; and they spoiled them, and they were three days gathering the spoil, for it was abundant.	25 And Josaphat and his people went out to spoil them, and they found much cattle, and furniture, and spoils, and precious things; and they spoiled them, and they were three days gathering the spoil, for it was abundant.

26 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed Yahweh; therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, to this day.

26 καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ ἐπισυνήχθησαν εἰς τὸν αὐλῶνα τῆς εὐλογίας, ἐκεῖ γὰρ ηὐλόγησαν τὸν κύριον· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Κοιλὰς εὐλογίας ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.	26 καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ ἐπισυνήχθησαν εἰς τὸν αὐλῶνα τῆς εὐλογίας, ἐκεῖ γὰρ ηὐλόγησαν τὸν Κύριον· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Κοιλὰς εὐλογίας ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that Yahweh fought against the enemies of Israēl.

32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn’t depart from it, doing what was right in the sight of Yahweh.

35 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israēl, who did very wickedly.

35 καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐκοινώνησεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα πρὸς Ὀχοζίαν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οὗτος ἠνόμησεν	35 Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐκοινώνησεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα πρὸς Ὀχοζίαν βασιλέα Ἰσραήλ (καὶ οὗτος ἠνόμησεν )

37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has broken your works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

37 καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν Ἐλιέζερ ὁ τοῦ Δωδία ἀπὸ Μαρισὴς ἐπὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ λέγων ὡς ἐφιλίασας τῷ Ὀχοζίᾳ, ἔθραυσεν κύριος τὸ ἔργον σου, καὶ συνετρίβη τὰ πλοῖά σου, καὶ οὐκ ἐδυνάσθη τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς Θαρσίς.	37 καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν Ἐλιέζερ ὁ τοῦ Δωδία ἀπὸ Μαρισῆς ἐπὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ λέγων· ὡς ἐφιλίασας τῷ Ὀχοζίᾳ, ἔθραυσε Κύριος τὸ ἔργον σου, καὶ συνετρίβη τὰ πλοῖά σου. καὶ οὐκ ἐδυνάσθη πορευθῆναι εἰς Θαρσεῖς.
