Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 13. - And the Ethiopians... before his host. It is evident that these words, with the clauses they include, should be placed in brackets, and so leave "they," the subject of the verb "carried" in the last clause, to refer to its proper noun-subject, Asa and the people. Gerar. This place is mentioned as defining a full distant spot as the limit of the pursuit of the flying army. While it was nearly four hours south of Gaza, on the road to Egypt, it is calculated that it was more than twenty miles distant from Mareshah.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Pursued them unto Gerar.--(Genesis 20:1.) Kirbet-el-Gerar, in the Wady Gerar, about eight miles S.S.E. of Gaza, on the route to Egypt (LXX. Gedor).And the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves.--Literally, And there fell of Kushites until they had no revival, or survival (Ezra 9:8-9). The latter seems preferable, as a vivid hyperbole, like 2Kings 19:35, "When men arose in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses." So Vulg., "usque ad internecionem."Destroyed.--See margin.Before his host.--Or camp. Asa's army is the Lord's army.
