He ruled all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines as far as the border of Egypt.

God helped him in his campaigns against the Philistines, the Arabs living in Gur Baal, and the Meunites.

Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat tribute, including a load of silver. The Arabs brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats from their flocks.
