When the Israelites came back from pursuing the Philistines, they looted their camp.

The LORD defeated the Ethiopian army when Asa and the Judean army attacked them. They fled,

Then they were able to destroy the cities in the area around Gerar, because the people there were terrified of the LORD. The army plundered all those cities and captured large amounts of loot.

Jehoshaphat and his troops moved in to take the loot, and they found many cattle, supplies, clothing, and other valuable objects. They spent three days gathering the loot, but there was so much that they could not take everything.

The wicked may have too much silver to count and more clothes than anyone needs;

but some good person will wear the clothes, and someone honest will get the silver.

"Kings and their armies are running away!" The women at home divided what was captured:

Our enemies are doomed! They have robbed and betrayed, although no one has robbed them or betrayed them. But their time to rob and betray will end, and they themselves will become victims of robbery and treachery.

Their belongings are pounced upon and taken as loot.

(SEE 33:22)

Elisha answered, "Listen to what the LORD says! By this time tomorrow you will be able to buy in Samaria ten pounds of the best wheat or twenty pounds of barley for one piece of silver."

God is not like people, who lie; He is not a human who changes his mind. Whatever he promises, he does; He speaks, and it is done.

But when my servant makes a prediction, when I send a messenger to reveal my plans, I make those plans and predictions come true. I tell Jerusalem that people will live there again, and the cities of Judah that they will be rebuilt. Those cities will rise from the ruins.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
