2 Chronicles 20:5-13

[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  [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,  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.
