Many people came and told Jehoshaphat
that a vast army was approaching
to wage war against him.
Alarmed by this news,
Jehoshaphat proclaimed
a fast for all of Judah.
People came from
every town in Judah
to fast and pray together.
We were part of a large group,
and Jehoshaphat
was earnestly asking God
for assistance.
Then a man called Jahaziel
stood up and said
that Jehoshaphat
should not be concerned—
that it was not his battle,
but God's battle.

when we set out in the desert of Tekoa.
We were seriously concerned
about facing this huge army,
but we were told to have faith.
We had also prayed.

we only saw dead bodies

The enemy had apparently
turned on each other.
Jehoshaphat's prayers
had won him the battle
without even having to fight.
