Don't Even Worry About It

And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children. Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation; And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.-2 Chronicles 20:13-17***King Jehoshaphat was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Jehoshaphat was the 4th king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Jehoshaphat only worshiped the Lord God, and the Lord God was with Jehoshaphat and gave Jehoshaphat favor. The Israelites in Judah, including Jerusalem, the royal city, gave Jehoshaphat gifts and honor. Moreover, the Philistines and Arabians brought presents to Jehoshaphat. During Jehoshaphat's 25-year reign, he eliminated the places of false worship in the kingdom, sent officials and priests to teach throughout Judah, appointed judges to handle disputes, built cities and places to hold items and supplies, and established a mighty military force. King Ahab was an Israelite and the 7th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land. When Jehoshaphat joined Ahab in a battle against the Syrians (Arameans), the Lord God kept Jehoshaphat from being attacked. When the Moabites, Ammonites, and their allies from Mount Seir came to fight, Jehoshaphat prepared himself to seek the will of the Lord God. Jehoshaphat proclaimed a fast and everyone gathered at the temple of the Lord to ask the Lord God for help. Jehoshaphat stood and prayed, and the Spirit of the Lord God came upon Jahaziel, an Israelite from the tribe of Levi. Over 800 years after Jehoshaphat's son Joram (Jehoram) became the 5th king to rule Judah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
