2 Chronicles 14:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 14:12

So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah,
&c.] With consternation and terror; they were thrown into a panic:

and the Ethiopians fled;
before them, just as Jeroboam and Israel had, as related in the preceding chapter, ( 2 Chronicles 13:15 2 Chronicles 13:16 ) .

2 Chronicles 14:12 In-Context

10 Asa went out to meet him, and they took up battle positions in the Valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.
11 Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, “LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, LORD our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this vast army. LORD, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail against you.”
12 The LORD struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah. The Cushites fled,
13 and Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar. Such a great number of Cushites fell that they could not recover; they were crushed before the LORD and his forces. The men of Judah carried off a large amount of plunder.
14 They destroyed all the villages around Gerar, for the terror of the LORD had fallen on them. They looted all these villages, since there was much plunder there.
