The Good Samaritan
And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria. 2 Chronicles 28:15
Men from Samaria rescue their enemies: they clothe them, anoint them, set the weak on donkeys, and bring them to Jericho. Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan uses the same pieces, and the Samaritan in that parable is widely taught as a figure of Christ, who binds up and carries the wounded and pays for their care.
