2 Chronicles 20:23 in Context — 2 Chronicles 20

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.

25 Josaphat et son peuple allèrent prendre leurs dépouilles; ils trouvèrent parmi les cadavres d’abondantes richesses et des objets précieux, et ils en enlevèrent tant qu’ils ne purent tout emporter. Ils mirent trois jours au pillage du butin, car il était considérable.
