2 CHRONICLES 28:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.”
Continuing Philistine pressure — 'For the Philistines had sent out raids and taken the cities of the Shephelah and the Negeb of Judah: Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages; and they settled there' (כי הפלשׁתים פשׁטו בערי השׁפלה וגנב בנגב יהודה וילכדו את בית שׁמשׁ את אילון את גדרות את סוכו ודבר ואת תמנה ודבר ואת גמזו ודבר). Repetition of the Philistine territorial conquest emphasizes the loss. The kingdom's borders contract dramatically.
