And the men²¹ which¹ were expressedª° by nameª rose up,ª° and tookª° the captives,ª and with¹ the spoilª clothedª° all¹ that were nakedª among them, and arrayedª° them, and shodª° them, and gave them to eatª° and to drink,ª° and anointedª° them, and carriedª° all¹ the feebleª° of them upon asses,ª and broughtª° them to Jericho,ª the city² of palm trees,ª²° toª their brethren:ª then they returnedª° to Samaria.ª" {2Ch 28:9-15}
