2 Chronicles 20:29 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 20:29

And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of these
countries
Whose armies were slain, and all other neighbouring ones; for the word these is supplied:

when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel;
and they were afraid to invade their land, or make war with them; nor did the Edomites dare to revolt in the times of Jehoshaphat.

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.
