Jehoshaphat Defeats Moab and Ammon

20 After this, the Moabites^(A) and Ammonites with some of the Meunites^[a](B) came to wage war against Jehoshaphat.

²² As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes^(A) against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.

²¹ Since Edom refused to let them go through their territory,^(A) Israel turned away from them.^(B)

⁴ Give the people these orders:^(A) ‘You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau,^(B) who live in Seir.^(C) They will be afraid^(D) of you, but be very careful.

⁹ Then the Lord said to me, “Do not harass the Moabites or provoke them to war, for I will not give you any part of their land. I have given Ar^(A) to the descendants of Lot^(B) as a possession.”

¹⁹ When you come to the Ammonites,^(A) do not harass them or provoke them to war,^(B) for I will not give you possession of any land belonging to the Ammonites. I have given it as a possession to the descendants of Lot.^(C)”
