And the dread of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that surrounded Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
2 Chronicles 17:10, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The Chronicler reports that as Judah's neighbors saw Jehoshaphat's reforms and the teaching of the Book of the Law, a fear of the LORD fell on them and they held back from war. The Hebrew word here is pachad, a dread or terror, the same awe that fell on surrounding peoples when Israel came out of Egypt.
