2 Chronicles 20:30

Verse 30 of 37. The 20th of 36 chapters in 2 Chronicles, in History.

26On the fourth day, they assembled themselves in Beracah Valley, for there they blessed the LORD. Therefore the name of that place was called “Beracah Valley” to this day.

27Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

28They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments, harps, and trumpets to the LORD’s house.

29The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.

30So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.

31So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign. He reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

32He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes.

33However the high places were not taken away, and the people had still not set their hearts on the God of their fathers.

34Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is included in the book of the kings of Israel.
