John Gill Commentary 2 Chronicles 28:8

"And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria." — 2 Chronicles 28:8 (ASV)

And the children of Israel carried captive of their brethren
two hundred thousand women, sons and daughters
Which was a very large and unusual number to be carried captive; but having made such a slaughter of the men, and the rest being intimidated thereby, it was the more easily done:

and took away also much spoil from them ;
wealth and riches out of their cities, and even from Jerusalem; for by the preceding verse it seems as if they came thither:

and brought the spoils to Samaria ;
or rather "towards Samaria" ^F11 , as some render the word; for they were not as yet come to it, nor did they bring it and their captives thither, see (2 Chronicles 9:15) .
