2 Chronicles 14:13-15
Good News Translation
13 and Asa and his troops pursued them as far as Gerar. So many of the Ethiopians[a] were killed that the army was unable to rally and fight.[b] They were overpowered by the Lord and his army, and the army took large amounts of loot. 14 Then they were able to destroy the cities in the area around Gerar, because the people there were terrified of the Lord. The army plundered all those cities and captured large amounts of loot. 15 They also attacked the camps of some shepherds, capturing large numbers of sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
