2 Crónicas 14:13

Listen to 2 Crónicas 14:13
13 Y Asa y el pueblo que estaba con él los persiguieron hasta Gerar; y cayeron tantos etíopes que no pudieron rehacerse, porque fueron destrozados delante del SEÑOR y delante de su ejército. Y recogieron muchísimo botín.

2 Crónicas 14:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 14:13

And Asa, and the people that [were] with him, pursued them
unto Gerar
A city of the Philistines, ( Genesis 20:1 ) ,

and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover
themselves;
they were thrown into such a fright, and into so much confusion, that they could not put themselves in order, and rally again; or there fell such a vast number of them, that there were scarce any remaining alive, which seems to be the sense of the words used:

for they were destroyed before the Lord, and before his host;
the army of Israel, which the Lord was, as it were, the Commander of, fought for, and led them in the pursuit, and gave them victory; or it may mean an host of angels, employed in destroying this great army; and so the Syriac and Arabic versions of ( 2 Chronicles 14:12 ) read,

``the angel of the Lord smote the Ethiopians:''

and they carried away very much spoil;
which they found in their camp, and with their slain; even much gold and silver, as Josephus F7 says.

2 Crónicas 14:13 In-Context

11 Entonces Asa invocó al SEÑOR su Dios, y dijo: SEÑOR, no hay nadie más que tú para ayudar en la batalla entre el poderoso y los que no tienen fuerza; ayúdanos, oh SEÑOR Dios nuestro, porque en ti nos apoyamos y en tu nombre hemos venido contra esta multitud. Oh SEÑOR, tú eres nuestro Dios; que no prevalezca hombre alguno contra ti.
12 Y el SEÑOR derrotó a los etíopes delante de Asa y delante de Judá, y los etíopes huyeron.
13 Y Asa y el pueblo que estaba con él los persiguieron hasta Gerar; y cayeron tantos etíopes que no pudieron rehacerse, porque fueron destrozados delante del SEÑOR y delante de su ejército. Y recogieron muchísimo botín.
14 Destruyeron todas las ciudades alrededor de Gerar, porque el terror del SEÑOR había caído sobre ellos; y saquearon todas las ciudades pues había mucho botín en ellas.
15 También hirieron a los que poseían ganado, y se llevaron gran cantidad de ovejas y camellos. Entonces regresaron a Jerusalén.
