2 Chronicles 20:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴When Judah's army reached the tower that overlooked the desert, they saw that every soldier in the enemy's army was lying dead on the ground. ²⁵So Jehoshaphat and his troops went into the camp to carry away everything of value. They found a large herd of livestock,^[a] a lot of equipment, clothes,^[b] and other valuable things. It took them three days to carry it all away, and there was still some left over.

²⁶Then on the fourth day, everyone came together in Beracah Valley and sang praises to the Lord. That's why that place was called Praise Valley.^[c]
