Context of 2 Chronicles 20:30

28And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of Yhwh. 29And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that Yhwh fought against the enemies of Israel. So 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. 32And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of Yhwh.
