📜 Complete Scriptural Narrative

Forming an overwhelming tripartite alliance to drive Judah out of God's inheritance, the armies of Moab, Ammon, and Mount Seir (Edom) encamped at Hazazon-tamar (En-gedi) by the Dead Sea (2 Chronicles 20:1–2, 10–11). Yet at the exact moment Judah's Levite choir began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes among the invaders: the men of Ammon and Moab rose against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to devote them to destruction, and when they had finished with Seir, they helped to destroy one another until only dead bodies and three days of plunder remained on the field (2 Chronicles 20:22–25).
