Context of 2 Chronicles 20:30

28They came to Jerusalem with harps, lyres, and trumpets, to the house of the Lord. 29And the dread of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God gave him rest on all sides. 31Now Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah.
