2 Chronicles 20:24-33 World English Bible (WEB)

24. When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.

25. When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their plunder, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away. They took plunder for three days, it was so much.

26. On the fourth day, they assembled themselves in Beracah Valley, for there they blessed Yahweh. Therefore the name of that place was called “Beracah Valley” to this day.

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

28. They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments, harps, and trumpets to Yahweh’s house.

29. The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Yahweh fought against the enemies of Israel.

30. So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.

31. Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

32. He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn’t turn aside from it, doing that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes.

33. However the high places were not taken away, and the people had still not set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
