2 Chronicles 14:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 14:15

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.

2 Chronicles 14:15 In-Context

13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Jehovah, and before his host; and they carried away very much booty.

14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of Jehovah came upon them: and they despoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them.

15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
