2 Chronicles 28:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 28:15

And the men that were expressed by name rose up
Either those before named, ( 2 Chronicles 28:12 ) as Jarchi, and so the Vulgate Latin version; or such as they pitched upon, nominated, and appointed:

and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked
among them, and arrayed them, and shod them;
put clothes on their backs, and shoes on their feet, who either were taken or carried away before they could put on their garments, or had been stripped of them:

and gave them to eat, and drink, and anointed them;
not only fed them, being hungry and thirsty, but anointed them for refreshment after travelling; the Targum is, "washed them", from dirt and filth contracted by travelling:

and carried all the feeble of them on asses;
women and children that were not able to walk afoot so far back again:

and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren;
a city on the borders both of Judah and Israel, and famous for the number of palm trees near it, see ( Judges 1:16 ) in all which these inhabitants of Samaria acted the part of the good Samaritan, ( Luke 10:33 Luke 10:34 ) ,

then they returned to Samaria:
the prophet, with the princes, and the army, and the whole congregation.
