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.

26 On the fourth day, they assembled in the Valley of B'rakhah [blessing], where they blessed ADONAI; hence that place is called the Valley of B'rakhah to this day.
