2 Chronicles 28:15

28:15 Men were assigned to take the prisoners and find clothes among the plunder for those who were naked. ¹  So they clothed them, supplied them with sandals, gave them food and drink, and provided them with oil to rub on their skin. ²  They put the ones who couldn’t walk on donkeys. ³  They brought them back to their brothers at Jericho, ⁴  the city of the date palm trees, and then returned to Samaria.

2 Chronicles 28:23

28:23 He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus whom he thought had defeated him. ⁵  He reasoned, ⁶  “Since the gods of the kings of Damascus helped them, I will sacrifice to them so they will help me.” But they caused him and all Israel to stumble.

[28:15]  ¹ tn Heb “and the men who were designated by names arose and took the captives and all their naked ones they clothed from the loot.”

[28:15]  ² tn Heb “and poured oil on them.”

[28:15]  ³ tn Heb “and they led them on donkeys, with respect to everyone stumbling.”

[28:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “the gods of Damascus, the ones who had defeated him.” The words “he thought” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The perspective is that of Ahaz, not the narrator! Another option is that “the kings” has been accidentally omitted after “gods of.” See v. 23b.

[28:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “said.”
