Iste josaphat , irruentibus in terram juda hostibus, consolationem accepit in templo ab oziele propheta dicente sibi: o juda et jerusalem , nolite timere et cetera, et locum direptionis israel uocauit conuallem benedictionis, cuius classes, predicente sibi eliezer propheta, in asyon gaber sunt confracte.

This Jehoshaphat, when enemies were invading the land of Judah, took comfort in the temple from Uzziel the prophet saying to him: "O Judah and Jerusalem, fear not" et cetera, and Israel called the place of plunder the Valley of Blessing. His ships, as the prophet Eliezer foretold to him, were broken up at Ezion-Geber.
