2 Chronicles 14:15

Jerusalem

13 Then Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar. The Cushites fell and could not recover, for they were crushed before the LORD and His army. So the people of Judah carried off a great amount of plunder

14 and attacked all the cities around Gerar, because the terror of the LORD had fallen upon them. They plundered all the cities, since there was much plunder there.

They also attacked the tents of the herdsmen and carried off many sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
