2 Chronicles 20:1-3

Good News Translation

War against Edom

20 Some time later the armies of Moab and Ammon, together with their allies, the Meunites,^[a] invaded Judah. ² Some messengers came and announced to King Jehoshaphat: “A large army from Edom has come from the other side of the Dead Sea to attack you. They have already captured Hazazon Tamar.” (This is another name for Engedi.) ³ Jehoshaphat was frightened and prayed to the Lord for guidance. Then he gave orders for a fast to be observed throughout the country.
