25. When Jehoshaphat and his army came to take the loot, they found a great amount of cattle, goods, clothing, and other valuables—much more than they could carry. In fact, there was so much it took three days to haul it away.
26. On the fourth day they assembled in Blessing Valley, where they blessed the Lord. That’s why it is called Blessing Valley to this day.
27. Then everyone from Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at their head, joyfully returned home to Jerusalem because the Lord had given them reason to rejoice over their enemies.
28. They entered Jerusalem accompanied by harps, lutes, and trumpets, and they went to the Lord’s temple.
29. The fear of God came on all the surrounding kingdoms when they heard how the Lord had fought against Israel’s enemies.
30. As a result, Jehoshaphat’s rule was peaceful because his God gave him rest on all sides.
31. Jehoshaphat ruled over Judah. He was 35 years old when he became king, and he ruled for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah; she was Shilhi’s daughter.
