2. Krønikebok 20,31
29 Og frykten for Gud var over alle rikene i landene da de hørte at Herren hadde kjempet mot Israels fiender.
30 Så Josjafats rike hadde fred, for hans Gud ga ham ro på alle kanter.
Josjafat begynte sitt styre over Juda i en alder av trettifem år. Han regjerte i Jerusalem i tjuefem år. Hans mor var Asuba, datter av Silhi.
32 Han vandret i sin far Asas vei og vek ikke fra den, gjorde det som var rett i Herrens øyne.
33 Bare, offerhaugene ble ikke fjernet; folket hadde fortsatt ikke vendt sine hjerter til sine fedres Gud.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
