What does 2 Chronicles 28:18 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
18. Gederoth--on the Philistine frontier (Jos 15:41). Shocho--or Socoh (Jos 15:35), now Shuweikeh, a town in the Valley of Judah (see on 1Sa 17:1). Gimzo--now Jimza, a little east of Ludd (Lydda) [Robinson]. All these disasters, by which the "Lord brought Judah low," were because of Ahaz, king of Israel (Judah), see 2Ch 21:2; 24:16; 28:27, who made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord.
