Berachah
Place Name
Name meaning: "blessing; bending the knee"
Berachah (meaning blessing) is the name of a valley not far from En-gedi, on the edge of the Judean wilderness, where King Jehoshaphat and his people assembled to bless the LORD after a miraculous victory over the combined forces of Moab, Ammon, and Edom—whose armies had destroyed each other without a battle being fought (2 Chronicles 20:26). The name commemorates the act of corporate thanksgiving on that day. Berachah is also the name of a Benjamite warrior who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chronicles 12:3).
