2 Chronicles 28:15

15 And those men who have been named went up and took the prisoners, clothing those among them who were uncovered, with things from the goods which had been taken in the war, and putting robes on them and shoes on their feet; and they gave them food and drink and oil for their bodies, and seating all the feeble among them on asses, they took them to Jericho, the town of palm-trees, to their people, and then went back to Samaria.

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.
