30 And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.
30 Jehoshaphat heard no more from them; as long as Jehoshaphat reigned, peace reigned.
30 Then the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.
30 So Jehoshaphat's kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 20:30
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 20:20-30
(Read 2 Chronicles 20:20-30)
Jehoshaphat exhorted his troops to firm faith in God. Faith inspires a man with true courage; nor will any thing help more to the establishing of the heart in shaking times, than a firm belief of the power, and mercy, and promise of God. In all our trust in the Lord, and our praises of him, let us especially look at his everlasting mercy to sinners through Jesus Christ. Never was an army so destroyed as that of the enemy. Thus God often makes wicked people destroy one another. And never was a victory celebrated with more solemn thanksgivings.
