Who Won The Battle Of Jehoshaphat? Poem by Daniel Partlow

Moab and Ammon gathered to destroy Judah and Jehosephat
‘Ye shall not need to fight: be still but never yielding
O Judah, see the salvation of the Lord is standing pat
Fear not, go out tomorrow: for thy Lord is ever shielding.

Jehoshaphat and all Judah bowed face to the ground
Priests standing up to praise the LORD with a loud voice.
Believe in the Lord your God, in Him salvation will be found
Believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper and rejoice.

Jehoshaphat appointed singers to praise God’s Holy beauty
They marched ahead ‘Praise the LORD; for his mercy endures forever.’
Meanwhile the angel of death performed its grave duty:
The enemies slew each other, accomplishing God’s endeavor

And when Judah came to the wilderness tower they saw:
A sea of fallen dead bodies, none had survived.
They spoiled for three days and rejoiced at Berachah
and blessed the Lord for their redemption had arrived.
Destruction averted because of faith, piety, and awe.
