First, in plain English
The valley where Jehoshaphat's army blessed God after the battle, which is how it got the name.
Who this is
Berachah, meaning blessing, names two different things in Chronicles. One of the Benjamite warriors who joined David at Ziklag, kinsmen of Saul, was named Berachah (1 Chr. 12:3). Unrelated to him, the Valley of Berachah near Tekoa was where King Jehoshaphat's army gathered to bless the Lord after a stunning, unfought victory over an invading coalition of Moabites and Ammonites (2 Chr. 20:26).
