2 Chronicles 20:26-37 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

26. And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Beracah, unto this day.

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

28. And they came to Jerusalem with lyres and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.

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

30. So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.

31. And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

32. And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.

33. However the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.

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

35. And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:

36. And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.

37. Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has broken your works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
