2 Chronicles 20:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 20:25

And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of
them
Which was all they had to do; they had no need to fight, as they were told, the Lord had fought for them: they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies;
rich garments on them, and gold and silver on them: and precious jewels, which they stripped of for themselves;
with which their clothes, or some part of their bodies, were ornamented: more than they could carry away;
they were so many, that they made too great a burden for them: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much;
it took up so much time to strip the bodies, to search for their money and jewels, rings, chains, and such like things of value, worn by them.
