SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:15
Y se levantaron los varones nombrados, y tomaron los cautivos, y vistieron del despojo a los que de ellos estaban desnudos; los vistieron y los calzaron, y les dieron de comer y de beber, y los ungieron, y condujeron en asnos a todos los flacos, y los llevaron hasta Jericó, la ciudad de las palmas, cerca de sus hermanos; y ellos se volvieron a Samaria.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And the men that were expressed by name rose up , etc.] 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 10:33,34), then they returned to Samaria : the prophet, with the princes, and the army, and the whole congregation.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The wicked reign of Ahaz in Judah. --Israel gained this victory because God was wroth with Judah, and mad them the rod of his indignation. He reminds them of their own sins. I ill becomes sinners to be cruel. Could they hope for the mercy of God if they neither showed mercy nor justice to their brethren? Let it be remembered, that every man is our neighbour, our brother, our fello man, if not our fellow Christian. And no man who is acquainted with the word of God, need fear to maintain that slavery is against the law of love and the gospel of grace. Who can hold his brother in bondage without breaking the rule of doing to others as he would they should d unto him? But when sinners are left to their own heart's lusts, the grow more desperate in wickedness. God commands them to release the prisoners, and they obeyed. The Lord brought Judah low. Those who wil not humble themselves under the word of God, will justly be humbled by his judgments. It is often found, that wicked men themselves have n real affection for those that revolt to them, nor do they care to d them a kindness. This is that king Ahaz! that wretched man! Those ar wicked and vile indeed, that are made worse by their afflictions instead of being made better by them; who, in their distress, trespas yet more, and have their hearts more fully set in them to do evil. But no marvel that men's affections and devotions are misplaced, when the mistake the author of their trouble and of their help. The progress of wickedness and misery is often rapid; and it is awful to reflect upon sinner's being driven away in his wickedness into the eternal world __________________________________________________________________
