2 Chronicles 20:26-33 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

26. Then, on the fourth day, they were gathered together in the Valley of Blessing. For they had blessed the Lord there, and therefore they called that place the Valley of Blessing, even to the present day.

27. And every man of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, returned, with Jehoshaphat before them, to Jerusalem, with great rejoicing. For the Lord had granted to them gladness concerning their enemies.

28. And they entered into Jerusalem with psalteries, and harps, and trumpets, into the house of the Lord.

29. Then the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.

30. And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet. And God granted to him peace on all sides.

31. And so Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. And he was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign. Then he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

32. And he walked in the way of his father, Asa, and he did not decline from it, doing the things that were pleasing before the Lord.

33. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places, and the people still had not directed their heart to the Lord, the God of their fathers.
