Context of 2 Chronicles 20:28
26On the fourth day they gathered in the valley of Beracah. Because they thanked the Lord there, that place is still called the valley of Beracah [Thanks] today. 27All the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned to Jerusalem. They rejoiced while Jehoshaphat led them. The Lord gave them a reason to rejoice about ⌞what had happened to⌟ their enemies. So they brought harps, lyres, and trumpets to the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem. 29The fear of the Lord came over the kingdoms in that area when they heard how the Lord waged war against Israel’s enemies. 30Jehoshaphat’s kingdom was peaceful, since his God surrounded him with peace.
