Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they smote all the cities round about Gerar,.... The cities of the Philistines, who were auxiliaries and confederates with these Ethiopians, and colonies from them, according to Theodoret, and who says, about Eleutheropolis was a place, called, in his time, Geraron Saton:

for the fear of the Lord came upon them; so that they had no power to defend themselves, and oppose the men of Judah:

and they spoiled all the cities; of the goods and substance that were in them:

for there was exceeding much spoil in them; great wealth and riches of one kind or another.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They smote all the cities round about Gerar - The Philistines of these parts had, it is probable, accompanied Zerah in his expedition.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 14:14. There was - much spoil in them. — These cities being on the rear of this vast army, they had laid up much forage in them; and to get this the Jews overthrew the whole.
