2 Chronicles 14:13-15

13 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as ¹Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell until none remained alive, for they were broken before the LORD and his army. The men of Judah^[a] carried away very much spoil.

14 And they attacked all the cities around ²Gerar, ³for the fear of the LORD was upon them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.

15 And they struck down the tents of those who had livestock and carried away sheep in abundance and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
