Josaphat aber fürchtete sich und stellte sein Angesicht, zu suchen den HERRN, und ließ ein Fasten ausrufen unter ganz Juda.
Entonces él tuvo temor; y puso Josaphat su rostro para consultar a Jehová, e hizo pregonar ayuno a todo Judá.
Dans sa frayeur, Josaphat se disposa à chercher l'Eternel, et il publia un jeûne pour tout Juda.
Allora Giosafat ebbe paura, e si dispose a ricercare il Signore, e fece bandire il digiuno a tutto Giuda.
Então Jeosafá temeu, e pôs-se a buscar o SENHOR, e apregoou jejum em todo o Judá.
約沙法 懼怕,就定意尋求耶和華,在全 猶大 宣告禁食。
