And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them,.... Which was all they had to do; they had no need to fight, as they were told, the Lord had fought for them:
they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies; rich garments on them, and gold and silver on them:
and precious jewels, which they stripped of for themselves; with which their clothes, or some part of their bodies, were ornamented:
more than they could carry away; they were so many, that they made too great a burden for them:
and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much; it took up so much time to strip the bodies, to search for their money and jewels, rings, chains, and such like things of value, worn by them.
