2 Chronicles 14:14

Ver. 14. And they smote all the cities round about Gerar,.... The cities of the Philistines, who were auxiliaries and confederates with these Ethiopians, and colonies from them, according to Theodoret, and who says, about Eleutheropolis was a place, called, in his time, Geraron Saton:

for the fear of the Lord came upon them; so that they had no power to defend themselves, and oppose the men of Judah: and they spoiled all the cities; of the goods and substance that were in them:for there was exceeding much spoil in them; great wealth and riches of one kind or another. 2 Chronicles 14:15Ver. 15. They smote also the tents of cattle,.... The people that dwelt in tents for the sake of the pasturage of their cattle; the Scenite Arabs, so called from dwelling in tents:and carried away sheep; which those Arabs were feeding in Palestine, and which this great army brought with them for their support:and camels in abundance; which is another circumstance proving them to be Arabs, who abounded with camels:and returned to Jerusalem; with their spoil, and with great joy.
