2 Chronicles 14:12-13

12 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed^[a] before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.
