Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - The fear of the Lord came upon them; i.e. on the cities round about Gerar. This and the following verse illustrate in particular the very graphic character which attaches to the entire stretch of the description of the scene, introduced so suddenly in ver. 9 and closing with ver. 15. Much spoil. The Hebrew word here used for "spoil" (בִּזָּה) is found only in Chronicles, Ezra, Esther, Nehemiah, Daniel, and once in Ezekiel (Ezekiel 29:19).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) And they smote all the cities round about Gerar.--Philistine cities hostile to Judah. Perhaps they had helped Zerah.For the fear of the Lord came upon them.--Or, A divine panic had fallen upon them (1Samuel 11:7; 2Chronicles 17:10; comp. also 1Samuel 4:7-8).Spoil.--Plunder, booty. Heb. bizzah, a late word, occurring Ezekiel 29:19. The word in the last verse was sh?l?l, a classical expression.
