Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns(A) in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets.(B) When you hear them sound a long blast(C) on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout;(D) then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”

So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.”(E) And he ordered the army, “Advance(F)! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark(G) of the Lord.”

When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them. The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard(H) followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!(I) 11 So he had the ark of the Lord carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.

12 Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the Lord and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets kept sounding. 14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.

15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times.(J) 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!(K)

12 God is with us; he is our leader. His priests with their trumpets will sound the battle cry against you.(A) People of Israel, do not fight against the Lord,(B) the God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed.”(C)

13 Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah the ambush(D) was behind them. 14 Judah turned and saw that they were being attacked at both front and rear. Then they cried out(E) to the Lord. The priests blew their trumpets 15 and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. At the sound of their battle cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel(F) before Abijah and Judah.
