SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:13
Y Asa, y el pueblo que con él estaba, los siguió hasta Gerar; y cayeron los etíopes hasta no quedar en ellos hombre con vida; porque fueron deshechos delante del SEÑOR y de su ejército. Y les tomaron muy grande despojo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And Asa, and the people that [were] with him, pursued them unto Gerar , etc.] 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 says.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Asa's piety, He strengthens his kingdom. --Asa aimed at pleasing God, and studied to approve himself to him Happy those that walk by this rule, not to do that which is right in their own eyes, or in the eye of the world, but which is so in God' sight. We find by experience that it is good to seek the Lord; it give us rest; while we pursue the world, we meet with nothing but vexation Asa consulted with his people how to make a good use of the peace the enjoyed; and concluded with them that they must not be idle, no secure. A formidable army of Ethiopians invaded Asa's kingdom. Thi evil came upon them, that their faith in God might be tried. Asa' prayer is short, but it is the real language of faith and expectatio from God. When we go forth in God's name, we cannot but prosper, an all things work together for the good of those whom he favours __________________________________________________________________
