¹⁵ The men designated by name took the prisoners, and from the plunder they clothed all who were naked. They provided them with clothes and sandals, food and drink,^(A) and healing balm. All those who were weak they put on donkeys. So they took them back to their fellow Israelites at Jericho, the City of Palms,^(B) and returned to Samaria.^(C)

¹⁹ As for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who lived on the farmlands around their towns or in any other towns,^(A) men were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among them and to all who were recorded in the genealogies of the Levites.

²⁰ They also brought 220 of the temple servants^(A)—a body that David and the officials had established to assist the Levites. All were registered by name.
