Then Josaphat came, and all the people with him to take away the spoils of the dead, and they found among the dead bodies, stuff of various kinds, and garments, and most precious vessels: and they took them for themselves, insomuch that they could not carry all, nor in three days take away the spoils, the booty was so great.
26
And on the fourth day they were assembled in the valley of Blessing: for there they blessed the Lord, and therefore they called that place the valley of Blessing until this day.
27
And every man of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem returned, and Josaphat at their head, into Jerusalem with great joy, because the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies.
28
And they came into Jerusalem with psalteries, and harps, and trumpets into the house of the Lord.
29
And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30
And the kingdom of Josaphat was quiet, and God gave him peace round about.
31
And Josaphat reigned over Juda, and he was five and thirty years old, when he began to reign: and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Selahi.
32
And he walked in the way of his father Asa and departed not from it, doing the things that were pleasing before the Lord.
33
But yet he took not away the high places, and the people had not yet turned their heart to the Lord the God of their fathers.
34
But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, first and last, are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which he digested into the books of the kings of Israel.
35
After these things Josaphat king of Juda made friendship with Ochozias king of Israel, whose works were very wicked.
