2 Chronicles 28:16

AhazAssyria
Doubt

14 So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.

15 Then the men who were designated by name arose, took charge of the captives, and provided from the plunder clothing for the naked. They clothed them, gave them sandals and food and drink, anointed their wounds, and put all the feeble on donkeys. So they brought them to Jericho, the City of Palms, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.

At that time King Ahaz sent for help from the king of Assyria.

17 The Edomites had again come and attacked Judah and carried away captives.

18 The Philistines had also raided the cities of the foothills and the Negev of Judah, capturing and occupying Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth, as well as Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo with their villages.
