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.

2 Chronicles 20:29 In-Context

27 Jehoshaphat then led all the men of Judah and Jerusalem back to Jerusalem - an exuberant parade. God had given them joyful relief from their enemies!
28 They entered Jerusalem and came to The Temple of God with all the instruments of the band playing.
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.
