Context of 2 Chronicles 28:18
16About that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria for help. 17Once again the Edomites had come and invaded Judah and taken captives, while the Philistines had raided the towns in the foothills and in the South of Judah. They captured and occupied Beth-shemesh, Aijalon and Gederot, as well as Soho, Timnah and Gimzo with their villages. 19For Adonai humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he threw off restraint in Judah and trespassed against Adonai. 20Tilgat-pilneser king of Assyria came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him—

Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 28:18
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 18Philistia also, eager to retaliate the blows she had received from Uzziah 2 Chronicles 26:6, seized her opportunity. Ajalon and Shocho were among the cities fortified by Rehoboam 2 Chronicles 11:7, 2 Chronicles 11:10; Beth-shemesh Joshua 15:10 was famous as the scene of Amaziah‘s defeat 2 Chronicles 25:21.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 17-18The Edomites and the Philistines were natural enemies of Judah. These armies captured towns along the Aijalon, Sorek, and Elah valleys. These areas were in the buffer zone of the foothills of Judah or the Negev.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1818. Gederoth--on the Philistine frontier (Jos 15:41). Shocho--or Socoh (Jos 15:35), now Shuweikeh, a town in the Valley of Judah (see on 1Sa 17:1). Gimzo--now Jimza, a little east of Ludd (Lydda) [Robinson]. All these disasters, by which the "Lord brought Judah low," were because of Ahaz, king of Israel (Judah), see 2Ch 21:2; 24:16; 28:27, who made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord.Read the comment
