2 Chronicles 14:14,15 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

They smote all the cities round about Gerar Partly because they had joined with Zerah in this war, and partly because the Ethiopians had sheltered a great part of the remains of their army in them. For the fear of the Lord came upon them That is, God struck them with such a fear, that they had no heart to withstand, or even to make any resistance against the conquerors. They smote also the tents of cattle That is, the dwellers in tents, who were either a part of Zerah's company, or joined with them, or had come along with them, to furnish that great host with necessary provisions. And carried away sheep and camels Fetched them away out of the enemy's country in vast numbers.
