“They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.”

2 Chronicles 14:15

 “tents of the cattle” ..?  Does that mean cows were in a tent and they were conquered? 

 I googled “tents and cows” and actually found the image of a cow who somehow got into a tent!  But no, the verse is not saying that the cows were living in the tents!

 The context makes it clear:  They conquered the cities and they conquered the nomadic herdsman who took their herds and flocks from place to place and they lived in tents, not their cows.

 “And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them. They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.” 2 Chronicles 14:14-15

 This is an amusing example to make a good point:  Whenever we wonder what the Bible might be saying, look at the context!  So often it will become clear.  When that doesn’t clear things up then begin looking at other places in the Bible where a topic or doctrine is talked about.  “comparing spiritual things with spiritual”  1 Corinthians 2.13
