Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 14:12

"And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent." — 2 Kings 14:12 (ASV)

To their tents. — Hebrew text: to his tent; so too the Septuagint and Syriac. Hebrew margin: to his tents; so too the Vulgate, Targum, and Chronicles. The meaning is that the enemy disbanded, as usually happened after a great defeat. (Compare 2 Kings 8:21.)
