So the Lord sent fear on the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah; and the ethiopians went in flight.
And Asa and the people who were with him went after them as far as Gerar; and so great was the destruction among the Ethiopians that they were not able to get their army together again, for they were broken before the Lord and before his army; and they took away a great amount of their goods.

And you ethiopians will be put to death by my sword.
