2 Chronicles 20Invasion from the East

1After this the Moabites and Ammonites, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat for battle.

2 came and told Jehoshaphat, “A great multitude is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the sea; already they are at Hazazon-tamar” (that is, En-gedi).

3 or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house and before you, for your name is in this house, and cry to you in our distress, and you will hear and save.’

10 in great numbers, goods, clothing, and precious things, which they took for themselves until they could carry no more. They spent three days taking the spoil because of its abundance.

26On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, for there they blessed the Lord; therefore that place has been called the Valley of Beracah to this day.

27Neh 12.43Then all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at their head, returned to Jerusalem with joy, for the Lord had enabled them to rejoice over their enemies.

28They came to Jerusalem with harps and lyres and trumpets to the house of the Lord.

292 Chr 14.14; 17.10The fear of God came on all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.

302 Chr 14.6, 7; 15.15And the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.

The End of Jehoshaphat’s Reign

31 1 Kings 22.41–43 So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

32He walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord.

332 Chr 17.6; 19.3Yet the high places were not removed; the people had not yet set their hearts upon the God of their ancestors.

34 1 Kings 16.1, 7 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from first to last, are written in the Annals of Jehu son of Hanani, which are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.

35 1 Kings 22.48, 49 After this King Jehoshaphat of Judah joined with King Ahaziah of Israel, who did wickedly.

36He joined him in building ships to go to Tarshish; they built the ships in Ezion-geber.

372 Chr 9.21Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you have made.” And the ships were wrecked and were not able to go to Tarshish.
