And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that [were] round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
Ver. 10. And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms.] It is said 2Ch 17:2 Jehoshaphat placed forces in all the fenced cities; yet it is not said thereupon that "the fear of the Lord fell upon the neighbour nations." But when he had established a preaching ministry in all the cities, then his enemies had a fear, and made no war.
