2 Chronicles 20:30-34 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.… I. JEHOSHAPHAT IS NOT UNLIKE HEZEKIAH AND JOSIAH. II. HIS PERSONAL CHARACTER SEEMS TO HAVE HAD VERY DISTINCTIVE FEATURES IN IT. III. HE WAS DISTINGUISHED FOR HIS SIMPLE AND YET PROFOUND RELIANCE ON GOD. IV.
