thy friend for ever？
20：8他们住在这地，又为你的名建造圣所，说，
And they dwelt therein； and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name； saying；
20：9倘有祸患临到我们，或刀兵灾殃，或瘟疫饥荒，我们在急难的时候，站在这殿前向你呼求，你必垂听而拯救，因为你的名在这殿里。
If； when evil eth 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。
20：10从前以色列人出埃及地的时候，你不容以色列人侵犯亚扪人，摩押人，和西珥山人，以色列人就离开他们，不灭绝他们。
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；
20：11看哪，他们怎样报复我们，要来驱逐我们出离你的地，就是你赐给我们为业之地。
Behold； I say； how they reward us； to e to cast us out of thy possession； which thou hast given us to inherit。
20：12我们的神阿，你不惩罚他们吗。因为我们无力抵挡这来攻击我们的大军，我们也不知道怎样行，我们的眼目单仰望你。
O our God； wilt thou not judge them？ for we have no might against this great pany that eth against us； neither know we what to do： but our eyes are upon thee。
20：13犹大众人和他们的婴孩，妻子，儿女都站在耶和华面前。
And all Judah stood before the LORD； with their little ones； their wives； and their children。
20：14那时，耶和华的灵在会中临到利未人亚萨的后裔玛探雅的玄孙，耶利的曾孙，比拿雅的孙子，撒迦利雅的儿子雅哈悉。
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；
20：15他说，犹大众人，耶路撒冷的居民，和约沙法王，你们请听。耶和华对你们如此说，不要因这大军恐惧惊惶。因为胜败不在乎你们，乃在乎神。
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。
20：16明日你们要下去迎敌，他们是从洗斯坡上来，你们必在耶鲁伊勒旷野前的谷口遇见他们。
To morrow go ye down against them： behold； they e up by the cliff of Ziz； and ye shall find them at the end of the brook； before the wilderness of Jeruel。
20：17犹大和耶路撒冷人哪，这次你们不要争战，要摆阵站着，看耶和华为你们施行拯救。不要恐惧，也不要惊惶。明日当出去迎敌，因为耶和华与你们同在。
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。
20：18约沙法就面伏于地，犹大众人和耶路撒冷的居民也俯伏在耶和华面前，叩拜耶和华。
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。
20：19哥辖族和可拉族的利未人都起来，用极大的声音赞美耶和华以色列的神。
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。
20：20次日清早，众人起来往提哥亚的旷野去。出去的时候，约沙法站着说，犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪，要听我说，信耶和华你们的神就必立稳。信他的先知就必亨通。
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。
20：21约沙法既与民商议了，就设立歌唱的人，颂赞耶和华，使他们穿上圣洁的礼服，走在军前赞美耶和华说，当称谢耶和华，因他的慈爱永远长存。
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。
20：22众人方唱歌赞美的时候，耶和华就派伏兵击杀那来攻击犹大人的亚扪人，摩押人，和西珥山人，他们就被打败了。
And when they began to sing and to praise； the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon； Moab； and mount Seir； which were e against Judah； and they were smitten。
20：23因为亚扪人和摩押人起来，击杀住西珥山的人，将他们灭尽。灭尽住西珥山的人之后，他们又彼此自相击杀。
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。
20：24犹大人来到旷野的望楼，向那大军观看，见尸横遍地，没有一个逃脱的。
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。
20：25约沙法和他的百姓就来收取敌人的财物，在尸首中见了许多财物，珍宝，他们剥脱下来的多得不可携带。因为甚多，直收取了三日。
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。
20：26第四日众人聚集在比拉迦谷（就是称颂的意思），在那里称颂耶和华。因此那地方名叫比拉迦谷，直到今日。
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。
20：27犹大人和耶路撒冷人都欢欢喜喜地回耶路撒冷，约沙法率领他们。因为耶和华使他们战胜仇敌，就欢喜快乐。
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。
20：28他们弹琴，鼓瑟，吹号来到耶路撒冷，进了耶和华的殿。
And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD。
20：29列邦诸国听见耶和华战败以色列的仇敌，就甚惧怕。
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。
20：30这样，约沙法的国得享太平，因为神赐他四境平安。
So the realm of Jehoshaph
