| 18 ܘܢܦܠ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܥܠ ܐܦܘ̈ܗܝ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܣܓܕ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܢܦܠܘ ܘܣܓܕܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ | 18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD. |
| 19 ܘܩܡܘ ܠܘ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܩܗܬ ܘܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܩܘܪܚ ܠܡܫܒܚܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ | 19 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 ܘܩܕܡܘ ܒܨܦܪܐ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܠܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܬܩܘܥ ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܘ ܩܡ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܘܐܡܪ ܫܘܡܥܘܢܝ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܫܠܡ ܘܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܘܬܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܘܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܢܒܝ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܬܬܦܪܩܘܢ | 20 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. |
| 21 ܘܩܡ ܒܡܨܥܬ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܬܘ ܢܘܕܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܢܫܒܚ ܠܗܕܪܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܘܬܗ ܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܩܕܡ ܚܝ̈ܠܘܬܢ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܢ ܩܪܒܐ ܥܡ ܒܥܠܕ̈ܒܒܝܢ ܘܐܡ̇ܪܝܢ ܐܘܕܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܕܛܒ ܗܘ ܘܠܥܠܡ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܪ̈ܡܬܐ ܫܪܝ ܡܫ̈ܒܚܢ ܘܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܫܪܝܘ ܕܝ̇ܨܝܢ | 21 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. |
| 22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. |
| 23 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. |
| 24 ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܕܕܘ̈ܩܐ ܕܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܚܙܘ ܘܗܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܓܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܡܝܬܝܢ ܘܪܡܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܦܠܛ ܡܢܗܘܢ | 24 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. |
| 25 ܘܐܬܐ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܘܥܡܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܡܒܙ ܒܙܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܫܟܚܘ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܙܬܐ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܛܒ ܘܩܢܝܢܐ ܘܦܓܘ̈ܕܐ ܕܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܕܪܓܬܐ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܘ ܘܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܟܕ ܒܙܘ ܒܙܬܐ ܡܛܘܠ ܕܣܓܝܐܐ ܗܘܬ ܛܒ | 25 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. |
| 26 ܘܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܐܪ̈ܒܥܐ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܠܦܩܥܬܐ ܕܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܡܢ ܒܪܟܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܘܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܫܡܗ̇ ܕܕܘܟܬܐ ܗ̇ܝ ܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ | 26 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. |
| 27 ܘܗܦܟܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܒܪܫܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬ̇ܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܐܪܫܠܡ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܕܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒ̈ܝܗܘܢ | 27 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. |
| 28 ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܬܫܒ̈ܚܬܐ ܘܒܟܢܪ̈ܐ ܘܒܩܪ̈ܢܬܐ ܟܦܝ̈ܦܬܐ ܘܦܫܝ̈ܛܬܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ | 28 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD. |

And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. |
| 32 ܘܗܠܟ ܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗ ܕܐܣܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܗܦܟ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ | 32 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. |

| 35 ܘܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܩܪܒ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܚܙܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗ̇ܘ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܕܐܣܓܝ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܒܝ̣̈ܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܟ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ | 35 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: |
| 36 ܘܐܬܩܪܒ ܠܘܬܗ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܣܦܝ̈ܢܐ ܕܐܙ̈ܠܢ ܠܬܪܫܝܫ ܘܥܒܕ ܣܦܝ̈ܢܐ ܒܥܨܝܢܘܓܒܪ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ | 36 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber. |

And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish. |
