Traditional

And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.

Literal

And Jehoshaphat came, and his people, to take away the spoils, and they found among them an abundance of goods, and corpses, and precious articles, and they took for themselves more than they could carry away. And they were three days gathering the spoil, because it was so much.

Latin

Venit ergo Josaphat, et omnis populus cum eo, ad detrahenda spolia mortuorum: inveneruntque inter cadavera variam supellectilem, vestes quoque, et vasa pretiosissima, et diripuerunt ita ut omnia portare non possent, nec per tres dies spolia auferre præ prædæ magnitudine.
