And the Levites； of the children of the Kohathites； and of the children of the Korhites； stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high。
20：20次日清早，众人起来往提哥亚的旷野去。出去的时候，约沙法站着说，犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪，要听我说，信耶和华你们的神就必立稳。信他的先知就必亨通。
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。
20：21约沙法既与民商议了，就设立歌唱的人，颂赞耶和华，使他们穿上圣洁的礼服，走在军前赞美耶和华说，当称谢耶和华，因他的慈爱永远长存。
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 for ever。
20：22众人方唱歌赞美的时候，耶和华就派伏兵击杀那来攻击犹大人的亚扪人，摩押人，和西珥山人，他们就被打败了。
And when they began to sing and to praise； the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon； Moab； and mount Seir； which were e against Judah； and they were smitten。
20：23因为亚扪人和摩押人起来，击杀住西珥山的人，将他们灭尽。灭尽住西珥山的人之后，他们又彼此自相击杀。
For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir； utterly to slay and destroy them： and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir； every one helped to destroy another。
20：24犹大人来到旷野的望楼，向那大军观看，见尸横遍地，没有一个逃脱的。
And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness； they looked unto the multitude； and； behold； they were dead bodies fallen to the earth； and none escaped。
20：25约沙法和他的百姓就来收取敌人的财物，在尸首中见了许多财物，珍宝，他们剥脱下来的多得不可携带。因为甚多，直收取了三日。
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 away： and they were three days in gathering of the spoil； it was so much。
20：26第四日众人聚集在比拉迦谷（就是称颂的意思），在那里称颂耶和华。因此那地方名叫比拉迦谷，直到今日。
And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah； for there they blessed the LORD： therefore the name of the same place was called； The valley of Berachah； unto this day。
20：27犹大人和耶路撒冷人都欢欢喜喜地回耶路撒冷，约沙法率领他们。因为耶和华使他们战胜仇敌，就欢喜快乐。
Then 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。
20：28他们弹琴，鼓瑟，吹号来到耶路撒冷，进了耶和华的殿。
And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD。
20：29列邦诸国听见耶和华战败以色列的仇敌，就甚惧怕。
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。
20：30这样，约沙法的国得享太平，因为神赐他四境平安。
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet： for his God gave him rest round about。
20：31约沙法作犹大王，登基的时候年三十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王二十五年。他母亲名叫阿苏巴，乃示利希的女儿。
And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah： he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign； and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem。 And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi。
20：32约沙法效法他父亚撒所行的，不偏左右，行耶和华眼中看为正的事。
And he walked in the way of Asa his father； and departed not from it； doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD。
20：33只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓也没有立定心意归向他们列祖的神。
Howbeit the high places were not taken away： for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers。
20：34约沙法其馀的事，自始至终都写在哈拿尼的儿子耶户的书上，也载入以色列诸王记上。
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat； first and last； behold； they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani； who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel。
20：35此后，犹大王约沙法与以色列王亚哈谢交好。亚哈谢行恶太甚。
And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel； who did very wickedly：
20：36二王合夥造船要往他施去，遂在以旬迦别造船。
And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish： and they made the ships in Eziongaber。
20：37那时玛利沙人，多大瓦的儿子以利以谢向约沙法预言说，因你与亚哈谢交好，耶和华必破坏你所造的。后来那船果然破坏，不能往他施去了。
Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat； saying； Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah； the LORD hath broken thy works。 And the ships were broken； that they were not able to go to Tarshish。
旧约 历代记下（2 Chronicles） 第 21 章 （ 本篇共有 36 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
21：1约沙法与他列祖同睡，葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里。他儿子约兰接续他作王。
Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers； and was buried with his fathers in the city of David。 And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead。
21：2约兰有几个兄弟，就是约沙法的儿子亚撒利雅，耶歇，撒迦利雅，亚撒利雅，米迦勒，示法提雅。这都是犹大王约沙法的儿子。
And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat； Azariah； and Jehiel； and Zechariah； and Azariah； and Michael； and Shephatiah： all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel。
21：3他们的父亲将许多金银，财宝，和犹大地的坚固城赐给他们。但将国赐给约兰，因为他是长子。
And their father gave them great gifts of silver； and of gold； and of precious things； with fenced cities in Judah： but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram； because he was the firstborn。
21：4约兰兴起坐他父的位，奋勇自强，就用刀杀了他的众兄弟和以色列的几个首领。
Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father； he strengthened himself； and slew all his brethren with the sword； and divers also of the princes of Israel。
21：5约兰登基的时候年三十二岁，在耶路撒冷作王八年。
Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign； and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem。
21：6他行以色列诸王的道，与亚哈家一样。因他娶了亚哈的女儿为妻，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel； like as did the house of Ahab： for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife： and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD。
21：7耶和华却因自己与大卫所立的约，不肯灭大卫的家，照他所应许的，永远赐灯光与大卫和他的子孙。
Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David； because of the covenant that he had made with David； and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever。
21：8约兰年间，以东人背叛犹大，脱离他的权下，自己立王。
In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah； and made themselves a king。
21：9约兰就率领军长和所有的战车，夜间起来，攻击围困他的以东人和车兵长。
Then Jehoram went forth with his princes； and all his chariots with him： and he rose up by night； and smote the Edomites which passed him in； and the captains of the chariots。
21：10这样，以东人背叛犹大，脱离他的权下，直到今日。那时，立拿人也背叛了，因为约兰离弃耶和华他列祖的神。
So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day。 The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand； because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers。
21：11他又在犹大诸山建筑邱坛，使耶路撒冷的居民行邪淫，诱惑犹大人。
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah； and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to mit fornication； and pelled Judah thereto。
21：12先知以利亚达信与约兰说，耶和华你祖大卫的神如此说，因为你不行你父约沙法和犹大王亚撒的道，
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet； saying； Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father； Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father； nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah；
21：13乃行以色列诸王的道，使犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民行邪淫，像亚哈家一样，又杀了你父家比你好的诸兄弟。
But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel； and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring； like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab； and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house； which were better than thyself：
21：14故此，耶和华降大灾与你的百姓和你的妻子，儿女，并你一切所有的。
Behold； with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people； and thy children； and thy wives； and all thy goods：
21：15你的肠子必患病，日加沉重，以致你的肠子坠落下来。
And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels； until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day。
21：16以后，耶和华激动非利士人和靠近古实的阿拉伯人来攻击约兰。
Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines； and of the Arabians； that were near the Ethiopians：
21：17他们上来攻击犹大，侵入境内，掳掠了王宫里所有的财货和他的妻子，儿女，除了他小儿子约哈斯（又名亚哈谢）之外，没有留下一个儿子。
And they came up into Judah； and brake into it； and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house； and his sons also； and his wives； so that there was never a son left him； save Jehoahaz； the youngest of his sons。
21：18这些事以后，耶和华使约兰的肠子患不能医治的病。
And after all this the LORD smote him in his b
