Exegesis
The idiom lᵊʾên lāhêm mâḥyêh {לְאֵן לָהֶם מַחְיֶה | lᵊʾên lāhêm mâḥyêh} literally ‘to no sustainer for them’ signals total annihilation, rendered “none remained alive.”
In context — 2 Chronicles 14:13
And Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar, and the Cushites fell so that none remained alive for them, because they were crushed before the LORD and before His camp; then they carried off exceedingly much plunder .
