New Testament

2 Chronicles 20:25-32 New Century Version (NCV)

25. When Jehoshaphat and his army came to take their valuables, they found many supplies, much clothing, and other valuable things. There was more than they could carry away; there was so much it took three days to gather it all.

26. On the fourth day Jehoshaphat and his army met in the Valley of Beracah and praised the Lord. That is why that place has been called the Valley of Beracah to this day.

27. Then Jehoshaphat led all the men from Judah and Jerusalem back to Jerusalem. The Lord had made them happy because their enemies were defeated.

28. They entered Jerusalem with harps, lyres, and trumpets and went to the Temple of the Lord.

29. When all the kingdoms of the lands around them heard how the Lord had fought Israel’s enemies, they feared God.

30. So Jehoshaphat’s kingdom was not at war. His God gave him peace from all the countries around him.

31. Jehoshaphat ruled over the country of Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

32. Jehoshaphat was good like his father Asa, and he did what the Lord said was right.
