但我并不珍惜自己的性命，只求跑完我的路程，完成我从主耶稣所领受的职分，为神恩惠的福音作见证。

于是约沙法害怕起来，定意要寻求耶和华，就在犹大全地宣告禁食。

耶和华说：“现在虽然如此，你们仍要全心全意，以禁食、哭泣、哀号，归向我。”你们要撕裂你们的心肠，不要撕裂你们的衣服。并要归向耶和华你们的神，因为他有恩典有怜悯，不轻易发怒，并且有丰盛的慈爱，随时转意不降灾祸。有谁知道或许他会转意，并且施慈爱，留下余福，就是留下献给耶和华你们的神的素祭和奠祭。你们要在锡安吹号角，把禁食的日子分别为圣，召开严肃会。你们要召集民众，使会众分别为圣；招聚老人，聚集孩童，和在怀中吃奶的婴孩；让新郎从新房出来，新妇从内室出来。让事奉耶和华的祭司在圣殿的廊子和祭坛之间哭泣，让他们说：“耶和华啊！求你怜恤你的子民。不要使你的产业受羞辱，使他们在列国中成为笑谈。为什么容人在万民中讥笑说：‘他们的神在哪里呢？’”

你们要把禁食的日子分别为圣，召开严肃会，聚集众长老和国中所有的居民，到你们的神耶和华的殿里，向耶和华呼求。哀哉那日！因为耶和华的日子临近了；那日来到，好像毁灭从全能者临到一样。

他冒着生命的危险击杀了那非利士人，耶和华为以色列人施行了大拯救，那时你看见了，也很欢喜。现在你为什么要犯罪，无缘无故杀死大卫，流无辜人的血呢？”
