As King Jehoshaphat of Judah ruled in righteousness, the Lord blessed him, so much so that even Judah’s neighbors blessed them, and notice the nations that did so,

And the fear of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat. Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver as tribute; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats (2 Chronicles 17:10–11).

Because Jehoshaphat and Judah walked in the ways of the Lord, He blessed them in these ways:

1. Made their enemies be at peace with them (See Proverbs 16.7)
2. Their enemies brought them gifts

Let us, therefore, walk in the ways of the Lord, and see how He then operates in our lives.
