26 On the fourth day they gathered together in the Valley of Beracah. There they praised the Lord. That's why it's called the Valley of Beracah to this very day.
27 Then all of the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned to Jerusalem. They were filled with joy. Jehoshaphat led them. The Lord had made them happy because all of their enemies were dead.
28 They entered Jerusalem and went to the Lord's temple. They were playing harps, lutes and trumpets.
29 All of the kingdoms of the surrounding countries began to have respect for God. They had heard how the Lord had fought against Israel's enemies.
30 The kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace. His God had given him peace and rest on every side.
31 So Jehoshaphat ruled over Judah. He was 35 years old when he became Judah's king. He ruled in Jerusalem for 25 years. His mother's name was Azubah. She was the daughter of Shilhi.
32 Jehoshaphat followed the ways of his father Asa. He didn't wander away from them. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord.
