Context of 2 Chronicles 20:30

28They 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. So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest on all sides. 31Now Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah.

His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 32He walked in the way of his father Asa and did not depart from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord.
