They captured and settled in Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco and its surrounding villages, Timnah and its surrounding villages, and Gimzo and its surrounding villages. 28:19 The Lord humiliated ²  Judah because of King Ahaz of Israel, ³  for he encouraged Judah to sin and was very ⁴  unfaithful to the Lord.
