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 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar; and so many Ethiopians fell that they could not recover, for they were shattered before the LORD and before His army. And they carried away very much plunder.

14 They destroyed all the cities around Gerar, for the dread of the LORD had fallen on them; and they despoiled all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.

15 They also struck down those who owned livestock, and they carried away large numbers of sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
