Context of 2 Chronicles 20:31
29The terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. 30Then Jehoshaphat’s kingdom was quiet, for his God gave him rest on every side. Jehoshaphat became king over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi. 32He walked in the ways of Asa his father; he did not turn away from it but did what was right in the Lord’s sight. 33However, the high places were not taken away; the people had not yet set their hearts on the God of their ancestors.
