The Lord put fear into all the kingdoms surrounding Judah; they did not make war with Jehoshaphat.

Respect the Lord and make careful decisions, for the Lord our God disapproves of injustice, partiality, and bribery.”

All the kingdoms of the surrounding lands were afraid of God when they heard how the Lord had fought against Israel’s enemies.

They defeated all the cities surrounding Gerar, for the Lord caused them to panic. The men of Judah looted all the cities, for they contained a huge amount of goods.
