2 Chronicles 20:22 in Context — 2 Chronicles 20
20 Le lendemain, ils se mirent en marche de grand matin pour le désert de Tekoa. A leur départ, Josaphat se présenta et dit: Écoutez-moi, Juda et habitants de Jérusalem! Confiez-vous en l’Éternel, votre Dieu, et vous serez affermis; confiez-vous en ses prophètes, et vous réussirez.
21 Puis, d’accord avec le peuple, il nomma des chantres qui, revêtus d’ornements sacrés, et marchant devant l’armée, célébraient l’Éternel et disaient: Louez l’Éternel, car sa miséricorde dure à toujours!
22 Au moment où l’on commençait les chants et les louanges, l’Éternel plaça une embuscade contre les fils d’Ammon et de Moab et ceux de la montagne de Séir, qui étaient venus contre Juda. Et ils furent battus.
23 Les fils d’Ammon et de Moab se jetèrent sur les habitants de la montagne de Séir pour les dévouer par interdit et les exterminer; et quand ils en eurent fini avec les habitants de Séir, ils s’aidèrent les uns les autres à se détruire.
24 Lorsque Juda fut arrivé sur la hauteur d’où l’on aperçoit le désert, ils regardèrent du côté de la multitude, et voici, c’étaient des cadavres étendus à terre, et personne n’avait échappé.
