And the men that were expressed by name rose up, etc.] Either those before named, (<142812>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 <070116>Judges 1:16) in all which these inhabitants of Samaria acted the part of the good Samaritan, (<421033>Luke 10:33,34), then they returned to Samaria: the prophet, with the princes, and the army, and the whole congregation.
