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 that were with him pursued them as far as Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell until none remained alive; for they were broken before the LORD and his army. The men of Judah carried away very much booty.
14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the fear of the LORD was upon them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.
15 And they smote the tents of those who had cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
