Context Reading
5Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in Yahweh’s house, before the new court; 6and he said, “Yahweh, the God of our fathers, aren’t you God in heaven? Aren’t you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you. 7Didn’t you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the offspringof Abraham your friend forever? 8They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying, 9‘If evil comes on us — the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine — we will stand before this house, and before you (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’
