(Occurrence 0) all Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said listen all Yehuda and,inhabitants Yerushalayim and,the,king Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) thus he/it_had_said YHWH to/for=you_all you_all not afraid and,not dismayed from=face/in_front_of the,multitude the,great the=this that/for/because/then/when not to/for=you_all the,battle that/for/because/then/when to,God's )

Here “Judah” refers to the people who live there. Alternate translation: “all you who live in Judah and Jerusalem”

(Occurrence 0) for the battle does not belong to you, but to God

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said listen all Yehuda and,inhabitants Yerushalayim and,the,king Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) thus he/it_had_said YHWH to/for=you_all you_all not afraid and,not dismayed from=face/in_front_of the,multitude the,great the=this that/for/because/then/when not to/for=you_all the,battle that/for/because/then/when to,God's )

This means that God is in control of the battle and of what happens.
