Context of 2 Chronicles 20:28
26Then on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, for it was there that they blessed the Lord. For that reason they named that place “The Valley of Beracah (blessing)” until today. 27Then they returned to Jerusalem with joy, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, led by Jehoshaphat, for the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies. They came to Jerusalem with harps, lyres, and trumpets to the house (temple) of the Lord. 29And the fear of God came on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. 30So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest on all sides.
