2 Chronicles 20:25-30

25Jehoshaphat and his men went to gather the plunder; they found a huge amount of supplies, clothing and valuable items. They carried away everything they could. There was so much plunder, it took them three days to haul it off.

26On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berachah, where they praised the Lord. So that place is called the Valley of Berachah to this very day.

27Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned joyfully to Jerusalem with Jehoshaphat leading them; the Lord had given them reason to rejoice over their enemies.

28They entered Jerusalem to the sound of stringed instruments and trumpets and proceeded to the temple of the Lord.

29All the kingdoms of the surrounding lands were afraid of God when they heard how the Lord had fought against Israel’s enemies.

30Jehoshaphat’s kingdom enjoyed peace; his God made him secure on every side.
