Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.”
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.
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 established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed."
Early the next morning the army of Judah went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. On the way Jehoshaphat stopped and said, “Listen to me, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be able to stand firm. Believe in his prophets, and you will succeed.”
And they rose early in the morning
Being confident of success, animated by what the prophet said to
them: and went forth into the wilderness of
Tekoa;
which, according to Jerom {u}, was six miles from Bethlehem, and
nine from Jerusalem, some say twelve, beyond which was nothing
but a desert; it was part of the wilderness of Judah: and
as they went forth;
out of Jerusalem, through one of the gates of it:
Jehoshaphat stood and said, believe in the Lord your
God;
in the promises he had made, particularly with respect to the
victory over their present enemies; the Targum is,
``in the Word of the Lord your God:''
so shall you be established;
have courage and firmness of mind, as well as be safe and secure:
believe his prophets;
sent by him, and that speak in his name, particularly Jahaziel, who
had predicted victory to them: so shall ye
prosper;
things will succeed to your wishes, and beyond your expectations.
