15 Then the men awho were designated by name rose up and took the captives, and from the1 spoil they clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them and gave them sandals, bgave them food and drink, and anointed them; and they let all the feeble ones ride on donkeys. So they brought them to their brethren at Jericho, cthe city of palm trees. Then they returned to Samaria.
Assyria Refuses to Help Judah
16 aAt the same time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
17 For again the aEdomites had come, attacked Judah, and carried away captives.
18 aThe Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Sochoh with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages; and they dwelt there.
19 For the Lord1 brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of aIsrael, for he had bencouraged moral decline in Judah and had been continually unfaithful to the Lord.
20 Also aTiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came to him and distressed him, and did not assist him.
