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 and Asa and his people, that was with him (who were with him), pursued them unto Gerar. And (the) Ethiopians felled down to (the) death, for they were all-broken by the Lord slaying (them), and by his host fighting (them). Then they took many spoils,
14 and they smote all the cities about Gerar; for great dread had assailed all men. And they spoiled the cities/And they rifled the cities, and bare away much prey; (and they struck all the cities about Gerar; for great fear had assailed all people. And they spoiled the cities/And they rifled the cities, and carried away much prey;)
15 and also they destroyed the folds of sheep, and they took multitude without number of sheep and of camels, and they turned again into Jerusalem. (and they also destroyed the sheepfolds, and they took away a multitude without number of sheep and camels, and then they returned to Jerusalem.)
