2 Chronicles 28:18

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.

Gederoth—on the Philistine frontier (Joshua 15:41).

Shocho—or Socoh (Joshua 15:35), now Shuweikeh, a town in the Valley of Judah (see on I Samuel 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 II Chronicles 21:2; II Chronicles 24:16; II Chronicles 28:27, who made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord.
