Verse 13

And Asa, and the people that were with him, pursued them unto Gerar ,.... A city of the Philistines, Genesis 20:1 ,

and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves ; they were thrown into such a fright, and into so much confusion, that they could not put themselves in order, and rally again; or there fell such a vast number of them, that there were scarce any remaining alive, which seems to be the sense of the words used:

for they were destroyed before the Lord, and before his host ; the army of Israel, which the Lord was, as it were, the Commander of, fought for, and led them in the pursuit, and gave them victory; or it may mean an host of angels, employed in destroying this great army; and so the Syriac and Arabic versions of 2 Chronicles 14:12 read,"the angel of the Lord smote the Ethiopians:"

and they carried away very much spoil ; which they found in their camp, and with their slain; even much gold and silver, as Josephus F7 Ut supra, (Antiq. l. 8. c. 12.) sect. 2. says.
