Context of 2 Chronicles 28:16

14So the army left the prisoners and the loot in front of the leaders and the whole assembly. 15Then the men who were mentioned by name took charge of the prisoners and gave clothes from the loot to all the prisoners who were naked. They provided clothes for them, gave them sandals, gave them something to eat and drink, and let them bathe. They put everyone who was exhausted on donkeys and brought them to Jericho (the City of Palms) near their own people. Then they returned to Samaria. At that time King Ahaz sent for help from the kings of Assyria. 17The Edomites had again invaded and defeated Judah and captured prisoners. 18The Philistines had raided the foothills and the Negev in Judah. They captured and began living in Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco and its villages, Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its villages.
