2 Chronicles 19 - 21

King Jehoshaphat was chastened for his alliance with Ahab, and set about bringing the people of Judah back to following God's laws.  When an alliance of nations threatened to attack Judah, Jehoshaphat begged God to take action in defense of His people.  God's message to the king and nation was this: "Do not be afraid.  Prepare to see what your God will do."  As the people sang in anticipation of the victory, God sent confusion to the invading armies and they slaughtered one another.  After reigning for 25 years, Jehoshaphat was succeeded by his son, Jehoram, who did not follow his father's example of leadership.  Instead, he was greatly influenced by the leadership styles and worship practices of the wicked kings of Israel.  The prophet Elijah pronounced God's judgment upon the king for his wickedness.  Jehoram's reign was a short one, due to the fatal intestinal disease that God brought upon him in judgment.
