Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.

Verse Takeaways

From Trouble to Triumph

Commentators highlight the transformation of the "valley of Achor." This location was infamous as the site of Achan's sin and the resulting trouble for Israel (Joshua 7). By promising it will become a peaceful resting place, God shows His power to redeem places of deep sorrow and failure, turning our past into a source of peace and blessing.
