2 CHRONICLES 28:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1

“And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.”

The religious crisis deepened — 'For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had acted without restraint in Judah and had been faithless to the LORD' (כי הכניע יהוה את יהודה בעבור אחז מלך ישׂראל כי הפריע בהודה ומעל מעל ביהוה). The theological explanation: the LORD 'brought Judah low' (הכניע יהודה) because of Ahaz's apostasy. The phrase 'acted without restraint' (הפריע) and 'had been faithless' (מעל מעל) describe active covenant violation.
