2 Chronicles 20:2 meaning and explanation

Then some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the Sea; they are already in Hazazon-tamar” (that is, En-gedi).

2 Chronicles 20:2, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

The messengers bring King Jehoshaphat a report that a huge coalition is already on the move and has reached Hazazon-tamar, that is, En-gedi, an oasis on the western shore of the Dead Sea. The threat is not distant news but an army camped within Judah's borders, and the phrase "from beyond the Sea" likely points to forces coming from the region east of the Dead Sea.
