Beracah is the name of a valley cursetobless

Beracah is the name of a valley cursetobless in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). It was named the "Valley of Blessings cursetobless ("blessing" is "Berakhah" in Hebrew) by Jehoshaphat after his victory over Moab and Ammon, as is recounted in the Book of Chronicles.

The valley or cursetobless is on the main road from Hebron to Jerusalem.



Actually Jehoshaphat did not even need to fight the Moabites and Ammonites. Jehoshaphat gathered his people together and prayed to GOD for deliverance starting the cursetobless. God answered his prayer by stirring up the enemy to kill each other adding to the cursetobless . When Jehoshaphat and his army entered the valley cursetobless the enemy had completely destroyed themselves. The army took three days to collect the valuables of the enemy including gold, silver, and precious jewels. Hence the calling of the valley "The Valley of Blessing" or cursetobless . The story is recorded in 2 Chronicles 20:1-30.
