SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:26
Y al cuarto día se juntaron en el valle de Beraca (de la bendición ); porque allí bendijeron al SEÑOR, y por esto llamaron el nombre de aquel paraje el valle de Beraca, hasta hoy.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 20:26
Verse 26. Assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah] "The valley of Benediction;" and so in the latter clause. - Targum.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah , etc.] As it was afterwards called from what they did there, as follows, which was the reason of its name: for there they blessed the Lord ; returned thanks to him for this wonderful appearance on their behalf, and gave him the glory of it; no doubt but they had given him praise before in some sort and manner, but now in a set, solemn, and public manner, with one heart and voice they united in ascribing honour, blessing, and glory to him: therefore the name of the same place was called the valley of Berachah unto this day ; the valley of Blessing; this name it bore in the times of Ezra, the writer of this book, even after the Jews returned from the Babylonish captivity; it is thought to be the same that is called by Jerom f74 Cepharbarucha, which he speaks of as not far from Engedi, (see Chronicles 20:2), others will have it to be the same with the valley of Jehoshaphat, but not so likely, that seems to be nearer Jerusalem.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-30 - Jehoshaphat exhorted his troops to firm faith in God. Faith inspires man with true courage; nor will any thing help more to the establishin of the heart in shaking times, than a firm belief of the power, an mercy, and promise of God. In all our trust in the Lord, and ou praises of him, let us especially look at his everlasting mercy to sinners through Jesus Christ. Never was an army so destroyed as that of the enemy. Thus God often makes wicked people destroy one another. An never was a victory celebrated with more solemn thanksgivings.
