2 Chronicles 28:10-18
10And nowH6258 youH859 intendH559 to reduce to slaveryH3533 the menH5650 and womenH8198 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. But are youH859H5973 notH3808 alsoH7535 guiltyH819 before the LORDH3068 your GodH430? 11Now thereforeH6258, listen to meH8085 and returnH7725 the captivesH7633 you tookH7617 from your kinsmenH251, forH3588 the fierce angerH2740H639 of the LORDH3068 is upon youH5921.”
12Then someH582 of the leadersH7218 of the EphraimitesH1121H6691—AzariahH5838 sonH1121 of JehohananH3076, BerechiahH1296 sonH1121 of MeshillemothH4919,2 JehizkiahH3169 sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, and AmasaH6021 sonH1121 of HadlaiH2311—stoodH6965 in opposition toH5921 those arrivingH935 fromH4480 the warH6635. 13“You must notH3808 bringH935 the captivesH7633 hereH2008,” they saidH559, “forH3588 youH859 are proposingH559 to bring guiltH819 upon usH5921 from the LORDH3068 and to addH3254 toH5921 our sinsH2403 andH5921 our guiltH819. ForH3588 our guiltH819 is greatH7227, and fierce angerH2740H639 is uponH5921 IsraelH3478.”
14So the armed menH2502 leftH5800 the captivesH7633 and the plunderH961 beforeH6440 the leadersH8269 and allH3605 the assemblyH6951. 15Then the menH582 whoH834 were designatedH5344 by nameH8034 aroseH6965, took chargeH2388 of the captivesH7633, and provided fromH4480 the plunderH7998 clothingH3847 for the nakedH4636. They clothed themH3847, gave them sandalsH5274 and foodH398 and drinkH8248, anointedH5480 their wounds, and putH5095 allH3605 the feebleH3782 on donkeysH2543. So they brought themH935 to JerichoH3405, the CityH5892 of PalmsH8558, toH681 their brothersH251. Then they returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
16At thatH1931 timeH6256 KingH4428 AhazH271 sentH7971 for helpH5826 fromH5921 the kingH44283 of AssyriaH804. 17The EdomitesH130 had againH5750 comeH935 and attackedH5221 JudahH3063 and carried awayH7617 captivesH7628. 18The PhilistinesH6430 had also raidedH6584 the citiesH5892 of the foothillsH82194 and the NegevH5045 of JudahH3063, capturingH3920 and occupyingH3427H8033 Beth-shemeshH1053, AijalonH357, andH853 GederothH1450, as well asH853 SocoH7755, TimnahH8553, andH853 GimzoH1579 with their villagesH1323.
