2 People came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast number from beyond the Dead Sea and from Edom(a) has come to fight against you; they are already in Hazazon-tamar”(A) (that is, En-gedi). 3 Jehoshaphat was afraid, and he resolved(B) to seek the Lord. Then he proclaimed a fast(C) for all Judah, 4 who gathered to seek the Lord. They even came from all the cities of Judah to seek Him.
