2 Chronicles 20:24-34

24 So when Y'hudah reached the watchtower overlooking the desert, they looked toward the horde; and there in front of them were corpses fallen to the ground; none had escaped.
25 Y'hoshafat and his army came to take the spoil from them and found among them personal property in abundance and corpses with precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves until they couldn't carry any more. They took three days just to collect the spoil, there was so much.
26 On the fourth day, they assembled in the Valley of B'rakhah [blessing], where they blessed ADONAI; hence that place is called the Valley of B'rakhah to this day.
27 Then they returned, everyone from Y'hudah and Yerushalayim, with Y'hoshafat leading them joyfully back to Yerushalayim; for ADONAI had caused them to rejoice over their enemies.
28 They came to Yerushalayim with lyres, lutes and trumpets and went to the house of ADONAI.
29 A panic from God was on all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard that ADONAI had fought against the enemies of Isra'el.
30 So Y'hoshafat's rule was a quiet one, because his God gave him rest all around.
31 Y'hoshafat ruled over Y'hudah; he was thirty-five years old when he began his reign, and he ruled twenty-five years in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was 'Azuvah the daughter of Shilchi.
32 He lived in the manner of Asa his father and did not turn away from it, doing what was right from ADONAI's perspective;
33 although the high places were not taken away, and the people had not yet set their hearts toward the God of their ancestors.
34 Other activities of Y'hoshafat, from beginning to end, are written in the records of Yehu the son of Hanani, which have been inserted in the Annals of the Kings of Isra'el.
