2. Krønikebok 20,25

23 For Ammons sønner og Moab reiste seg mot innbyggerne i Seirs fjell og ødela dem fullstendig; og da de var ferdige med innbyggerne i Seir, vendte de seg mot hverandre og ødela hverandre.

24 Da Juda kom til vakttårnet i ødemarken, vendte de seg mot mengden, og se, det lå lik på jorden, og ingen hadde unnsluppet.

Da Josjafat og hans folk kom for å samle byttet, fant de mye blant dem, inkludert varer, klær og verdifulle ting som de tok for seg selv, mer enn de kunne bære. Og de samlet byttet i tre dager fordi det var så mye.

26 Så på den fjerde dagen samlet de seg i Berakadalen, for der velsignet de Herren. Derfor kalte de det stedet "Berakadalen" til denne dag.

27 Hver mann av Juda og Jerusalem vendte tilbake med Josjafat i spissen, tilbake til Jerusalem med glede, for Herren hadde fått dem til å glede seg over sine fiender.

Her forteller Bibelen en historie om noen andre. Spør deg selv hva den kan si oss i dag. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
