2 Chronicles 28:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 28:17

For again the Edomites had come
As in the days of Jehoshaphat, ( 2 Chronicles 20:10 ) ,

and smitten Judah, and carried away captives;
taking the advantage of the weak and low condition Ahaz was in, and which was the reason of his sending to the king of Assyria.

2 Chronicles 28:17 In-Context

15 And the men who have been mentioned by name rose and took the captives, and with the spoil they clothed all who were naked among them. They clothed them, gave them sandals, provided them with food and drink, and anointed them, and carrying all the feeble among them on donkeys, they brought them to their kinsfolk at Jericho, the city of palm trees. Then they returned to Samaria.
16 At that time King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria for help.
17 For the Edomites had again invaded and defeated Judah and carried away captives.
18 And the Philistines had made raids on the cities in the Shephelah and the Negeb of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages. And they settled there.
19 For the LORD humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had made Judah act sinfully and had been very unfaithful to the LORD.
