Context — Summary of Jehoshaphat’s Reign
29And the fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30Then Jehoshaphat’s kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
31So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
32And Jehoshaphat walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn away from it; he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. 33The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet set their hearts on the God of their fathers.Cross References

2 Chronicles 20:31 Summary
This verse tells us about Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, who was thirty-five years old when he became king and reigned for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, and we can learn from his example about the importance of following God, as seen in 2 Chronicles 20:32. Jehoshaphat's story shows us that God can use anyone, regardless of their background or age, to accomplish great things, as encouraged in Jeremiah 29:11. By trusting in God's sovereignty, as Jehoshaphat did, we can experience peace and rest in our lives, just like he did, as seen in 2 Chronicles 20:30.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can we learn about Jehoshaphat's family background from 2 Chronicles 20:31?
From 2 Chronicles 20:31, we learn that Jehoshaphat's mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi, but we do not have more information about his family background in this verse, although 1 Kings 22:42 provides additional details about his father Asa.
How old was Jehoshaphat when he became king of Judah?
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king of Judah, as stated in 2 Chronicles 20:31, which is similar to the age of other kings in the Bible, such as Solomon in 1 Kings 2:10-12.
What was the duration of Jehoshaphat's reign over Judah?
According to 2 Chronicles 20:31, Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah for twenty-five years, which is a relatively long period of time, similar to the reign of his father Asa in 1 Kings 15:24.
Is there any spiritual significance to the age of thirty-five when Jehoshaphat became king?
While the Bible does not explicitly state the spiritual significance of the age thirty-five, it is notable that Jehoshaphat began his reign at this age and went on to follow the Lord, as seen in 2 Chronicles 20:32, similar to other kings who followed God, such as David in 1 Samuel 16:13.
Reflection Questions
- What can I learn from Jehoshaphat's example about the importance of following God from a young age, as seen in his life and reign?
- How does knowing the names and backgrounds of biblical figures, like Azubah and Shilhi, help me appreciate the richness of the biblical narrative and the providence of God?

- What role do you think Jehoshaphat's family and upbringing played in shaping his faith and leadership, and what can I learn from his example about the importance of family and community in my own spiritual journey?
