Context of 2 Chronicles 20:32
30And the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; and his God gave him rest round about. 31And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi. And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah. 33Only, the high places were not removed; and as yet the people had not directed their hearts to the God of their fathers. 34And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.
