2 Chronicles 20:24-34

[24] And when Judah  came  toward the watch tower  in the wilderness,  they looked  unto the multitude,  and, behold, they were dead bodies  fallen  to the earth,  and none escaped.  [25] And when Jehoshaphat  and his people  came  to take away  the spoil  of them, they found  among them in abundance  both riches  with the dead bodies,  jewels,  which they stripped off  for themselves, more than  they could carry away:  and they were three  days  in gathering  of the spoil,  it was so much.  [26] And on the fourth  day  they assembled  themselves in the valley  of Berachah;  for there they blessed  the LORD:  therefore the name  of the same place  was called,  The valley  of Berachah,  unto this day.  [27] Then they returned,  every man  of Judah  and Jerusalem,  and Jehoshaphat  in the forefront  of them, to go again  to Jerusalem  with joy;  had made them to rejoice  over their enemies.  [28] And they came  to Jerusalem  with psalteries  and harps  and trumpets  unto the house  of the LORD.  [29] And the fear  of God  was on all the kingdoms  of those countries,  when they had heard  that the LORD  fought  against the enemies  of Israel.  [30] So the realm  of Jehoshaphat  was quiet:  for his God  gave him rest  round about.  [31] And Jehoshaphat  reigned  over Judah:  he was thirty  and five  years  old  when he began to reign,  twenty  and five  years  in Jerusalem.  And his mother's  name  was Azubah  the daughter  of Shilhi.  [32] in the way  of Asa  his father,  and departed  not from it, doing  that which was right  in the sight  of the LORD.  [33] Howbeit the high places  were not taken away:  for as yet the people  had not prepared  their hearts  unto the God  of their fathers.  [34] Now the rest  of the acts  of Jehoshaphat,  first  and last,  behold, they are written  in the book  of Jehu  the son  of Hanani,  who is mentioned  in the book  of the kings  of Israel.
