Context of 2 Chronicles 28:16
14So the soldiers let their prisoners go free. They gave the people and the things that they had brought from Judah to the leaders and the other people. 15The leaders found clothes for each of the prisoners who had no clothes. They gave the prisoners clothes, shoes, food and drink, as well as oil to put on their skin. They took all these things from the things that the soldiers had brought from Judah. They put the prisoners who were too weak to walk on donkeys. Then they took them back to their relatives in Jericho, the city with many palm trees. After that, the Israelite leaders returned to Samaria. At that time, King Ahaz asked the king of Assyria for help. 17Soldiers from Edom had attacked Judah again. They had taken people away as their prisoners. 18Philistine soldiers had also attacked towns in the low hills in the west of Judah and in the Negev in the south. They took these towns for themselves and they lived in them: Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth; Soco, Timnah and Gimzo with the villages around them.
