"They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem." — 2 Chronicles 14:15 (ASV)
They smote also the tents of cattle
The people that dwelt in tents for the sake of the pasturage of their cattle; the Scenite Arabs, so called from dwelling in tents:
and carried away sheep ;
which those Arabs were feeding in Palestine, and which this great army brought with them for their support:
and camels in abundance ;
which is another circumstance proving them to be Arabs, who abounded with camels:
and returned to Jerusalem ;
with their spoil, and with great joy.
