20Early in the morning they got up and left for the Wilderness of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood up and said, "Hear me, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be upheld; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed."
“And they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be…”
“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…”
“they arose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, listen to me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the Lord, your God, and you will be…”
“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 the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be…”
21Then Jehoshaphat consulted with the people and appointed those who would sing to the LORD and praise the splendor of His holiness. As they went out before the army, they were singing: "Give thanks to the LORD, for His loving devotion endures forever."
“And when he had taken counsel with the people he appointed those who were to sing to the Lord and praise him in holy array as they went before the army and say Give thanks to the Lord for his steadfast love endures forever.”
“And when Jehoshaphat had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord and who should praise the beauty of holiness as they went out before the army. And were saying, praise the Lord for His mercy…”
“And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the Lord and praise Him in holy attire. As they went before the army and said, Give thanks to the Lord for His steadfast love endures forever.”

“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”
22The moment they began their shouts and praises, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were defeated.
“And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah so that they were routed.".”
“Now listen, when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah and they were defeated.”
“and to praise. When they began To sing and to praise The Lord set ambushments Against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir Which were come against Judah. And they were smitten.”
23The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, devoting them to destruction. And when they had made an end to the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
“for the sons of Ammon and Moab rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, destroying them completely. And when they had finished with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.”
24When the men of Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked for the vast army, but there were only corpses lying on the ground; no one had escaped.
“And when Judah came towards the watchtower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.”
“when Judah came to the lookout of the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude and behold, they were corpses lying on the ground and no one escaped.”
25Then Jehoshaphat and his people went to carry off the plunder, and they found on the bodies an abundance of goods and valuables —more than they could carry away. They were gathering the plunder for three days because there was so much.
“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…”
“when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, they found much among them, including goods, garments and valuable things which they took for themselves, more than they could carry. And there were three days taking the…”
26On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, where they blessed the LORD. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Beracah to this day.
“and on the fourth day, they assembled themselves together in the valley of Berekeh. For there they blessed the Lord, therefore the name of the same place was called the valley of Berekeh unto this day.”
27Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at their head, returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies.
“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.”
“every man of Judah and Jerusalem returned with Jehoshaphat at their head, returning to Jerusalem with joy, for the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies.”
“they returned every man from 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.”
28So they entered Jerusalem and went into the house of the LORD with harps, lyres, and trumpets.
“they came to Jerusalem with harps, lyres and trumpets to the house of the Lord.”
“And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord.”
“they came to Jerusalem with harps and lyres and trumpets to the house of the Lord.”
“And they came, verse 28, to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets into the house of the Lord.”
29And the fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
“And the dread of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.”
“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.”
“And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the land when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.”
“And the dread of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands where they heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.”
“And the fear of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of those countries when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.”
30Then Jehoshaphat's kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
“So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet for his God gave him rest round about.”
“Then the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet for his God gave him rest all around.”
“So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace for his God gave him rest on all sides.”

“He walked in the ways of Asa, his father, and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right. In the sight of the Lord.”
“He walked in the way of Asa his father, departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.”
33The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
“The high places were not taken away for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto God, the God of their fathers.”
34As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of Jehu son of Hanani, which are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.
