| II Chronicles 14:13
| And Asa, and the people that were with him, pursued them to Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction; for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils,
| Gerara was on the southern borders, twenty-three miles from Maresa. (Eusebius) (Calmet) --- The Ethiopians were pursued perhaps for many days. (Tirinus) --- Destruction. Protestants, "that they could not recover themselves." Hebrew, "there was no quarter given;" or, "so that none were left alive." (Calmet) --- If this were the case, the number of the slain far exceeded that the Jeroboam's army, 2 Paralipomenon 13. (Haydock)
