La Nuova Diodati
Allora Asa e la gente che era con lui li inseguirono fino a Gherar. Perci gli Etiopi furono sconfitti, e di loro non ne rimase neppure uno vivo perch essi furono distrutti davanti allEterno e davanti al suo esercito. Ed essi portarono via un enorme bottino.
Giovanni Diodati Bibbia
Ed Asa, e la gente ch’era con lui, li perseguitarono fino in Gherar; e morirono tanti Etiopi ch’essi non si poterono più ristorare; perciocchè furono rotti dal Signore, e dal suo esercito; e ne furono portate spoglie in grandissima quantità.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 g says.

g Ut supra, (Antiq. l. 8. c. 12.) sect. 2.
