King Jehoshaphat was one of the most famous kings of Judah in his time. He was someone who feared the Lord and who ruled over his nation according to the Lord’s command. At one point in King Jehoshaphat’s rule, the nations of Ammon and Moab decided to wage war against Judah. King Jehoshaphat began to gather his people to pray and fast together in order to seek the face of God. The Lord answered their prayers and advised them to not be afraid, for the Lord would fight on their behalf. The next day, they joyfully went off to war while praising the Lord with cheer. Amazingly, when they praised the Lord and let out a cheer, the Lord defeated their enemies. They experienced a huge victory, and were even able to loot their enemies for 3 days!
