Stand Still and See

Name Date

Read and Think

Messengers told Jehoshaphat a great multitude was coming from beyond the sea. He was afraid, but he set himself to seek Yahweh and proclaimed a fast. People came from every city of Judah to seek help from God.

In the new court of Yahweh's house, Jehoshaphat prayed. He said Yahweh is God in heaven, ruler over all the kingdoms. God gave this land to Abraham's descendants forever. He said they had no might against this great company. They did not know what to do, but their eyes were on God. All Judah stood with their wives and little ones.

The Spirit came on Jahaziel, a Levite. He told the people not to be afraid or dismayed, for the battle was not theirs, but God's. They would not need to fight. They should stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh. In the morning Jehoshaphat told them to believe in Yahweh their God. He set singers in front of the army to sing, Give thanks to Yahweh, for his loving kindness endures forever. When they began to praise, Yahweh defeated the enemy.
