2 Chronicles 14:13

Pursued them unto Gerar. — (Genesis 20:1.) Kirbet-el-Gerar, in the Wady Gerar, about eight miles S.S.E. of Gaza, on the route to Egypt (LXX. Gedor).

And the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves. — Literally, And there fell of Kushites until they had no revival, or survival (Ezra 9:8). The latter seems preferable, as a vivid hyperbole, like 2 Kings 19:35, “When men arose in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.” So Vulg., “usque ad internecionem.”

Destroyed. — See margin.

Before his host. — Or camp. Asa’s army is the Lord’s army.
