New Testament

2 Chronicles 20:27-34 Modern English Version (MEV)

27. Then they all returned, every man from Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat as their head, to Jerusalem with joy because the Lord made them rejoice because of the death of their enemies.

28. So they entered Jerusalem with harps, lyres, and trumpets to the house of the Lord.

29. And it happened that the terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands who heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.

30. So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, because his God gave him rest on all sides.

31. And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began his reign, and he was king in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. The name of his mother was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

32. He walked in the way of his father Asa, and he did not turn aside from doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord.

33. Only the high places were not taken down. The people had yet to set their hearts to the God of their fathers.

34. And the remainder of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from beginning to end, are writ­ten in the annals of Jehu son of Hanani, which are taken up in the book of the kings of Israel.
