THE SPIRIT NAMED "BLESSING."

A Blessing is a request of God for the bestowal of divine favor. In the Scriptures, the various forms of blessings occur about 400 times.
The spirit of the name "blessing" in his Hebrew form is found in the name of the Low Plain, lying between Bethlehem and Hebron, the Low Plain of Beracah.
It was here in the midst of this place that Jehoshaphat (God is Judge) and his people blessed the God of Israel. This Valley runs E-W, connecting the hill country of Judah with the wilderness area West of the Salt Sea.
Jehoshaphat maintained peace with the Northern Kingdom and formed a marriage alliance with Ahab after the marriage of his firstborn Jehoram to Ahab's daughter Athaliah. Later Jehoshaphat became partner to King Ahaziah, Ahab's successor, in shipbuilding enterprise at Ezion-geber on the Gulf of Aqabah. God, the God of Israel disapproval of this maritime alliance was shown with the ships' wreck.
Sometime after this, Jehoshaphat joined Ahaziah's successor, Jehoram, and the king of Edom in a military offensive to put down Moabite King Mesha's revolt against the ten-tribe kingdom. But the armies of the alliance became entrapped in a waterless wilderness. Only out of regard for Jehoshaphat (God is Judge) did the prophet Elisha seek divine inspiration and his subsequent advice saved the three kings and their armies from disaster. Also during his reign God delivered Judah and Jerusalem from the combined forces of Ammon (souls descended from Lot through his younger daughter), Moab (souls descended from Lot through his older daughter), and Edom (souls descended from Isaac through Esau).
Following the miraculous victory over the combined forces, Jehosshaphat then congregated the people at the Low Plain of Beracah ("blessing"), and there all of them blessed the God of Israel.  Because through His Power the enemies got confused and ended up slaughtering one another. 2 Chron. 20.
Also, the name Beracah appears symbolically in the soul of one of the mighty men skilled in the use of the bow, from the tribe of Benjamin, who joined up with David at Ziklag. The place, as originally assigned, was a Simeonite enclave city in South Judah. Later Ziklag was under Philistine control. A
Achish king of Gath, gave it to the fugitive David as a place of residence ( and it thereafter became the possession of Judah's kings). The Amalekites (descendants from Amalek, the son of Esau's firstborn Eliphaz, by his concubine Timna. Esau's grandson Amalek, was one of the 14 sheiks of Edom) raided and burned the city, taking captives, including David's wives Ahinoam and Abigail. After defeating the marauders and recovering the captives and things taken, David, from Ziklag, sent some of the spoil of battle to his friends, older men of Judah in various cities. At this point, many armed mighty men, including Beracah ("blessing") joined David and there, at Ziklag, he received news of King Saul's death.
Another reason for man to bless God is the for the gift of salvation through his son Jesus Christ. Elizabeth (God is an oath), the God-fearing wife of the priest Zechariah, and she herself was of the priestly family of Aaron, and mother of John The Baptist, blessed Jesus' mother Mary and the yet unborn fruit of her womb.
Both Elizabeth and her husband were well along in years when the angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah in the Holy of the temple and announced that, in answer to his supplications, she would give birth to a son who was to be called John. Upon becoming pregnant, Elizabeth kept herself secluded for 5 months. In the 6th month of her pregnancy she was visited by her relative Mary. On that occasion the unborn John leaped in his mother's womb, and Elizabeth filled with holy spirit, blessed Mary and the fruit of her womb, calling her "the mother of my Lord."     Luke 1.
