Context of 2 Chronicles 20:29

27Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Yhwh had made them to rejoice over their enemies. 28And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of Yhwh. And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that Yhwh fought against the enemies of Israel. 30So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about. 31And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
