Bible Comments

So the Lord smote the Ethiopians Smote them with terror, and an unaccountable consternation, so that they fled, and knew not why or whither. Asa and the people pursued them unto Gerar A city of the Philistines, who probably were confederate with them in this design. They were destroyed before the Lord For who can stand before him? And before his host The host of Israel, called God's host, because owned by him as his people. They carried away very much spoil From the slain, together with the plunder of their camp.
