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

14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the fear of the LORD came upon them; and they despoiled all the cities, for there was exceeding much spoil in them.

15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
