2 Chronicles 20:30 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 20:30

So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet
Both within and without; they were at peace among themselves, and none from abroad dared to molest them:

for his God gave him rest round about;
from all his enemies; the Targum has it, the Word of his God; and so, in the preceding verse, the Word of the Lord fought; and in ( 2 Chronicles 20:28 ) the Word of the Lord made them rejoice.

29 When the surrounding kingdoms got word that God had fought Israel's enemies, the fear of God descended on them.
30 Jehoshaphat heard no more from them; as long as Jehoshaphat reigned, peace reigned.
31 That about sums up Jehoshaphat's reign over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king and ruled as king in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
32 He continued the kind of life characteristic of his father Asa - no detours, no dead-ends - pleasing God with his life.
