New English Translation
17 The Edomites had again invaded and defeated Judah and carried off captives. 18 The Philistines had raided the cities of Judah in the foothills[a] and the Negev.[b] 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. 19 The Lord humiliated[c] Judah because of King Ahaz of Israel,[d] for he encouraged Judah to sin and was very[e] unfaithful to the Lord.
