2 Chronicles 28:7-15
7ZichriH2147, a mighty manH1368 of EphraimH669, killedH2026 MaaseiahH4641 the sonH1121 of the kingH4428, AzrikamH5840 the governorH5057 of the palaceH1004, and ElkanahH511 the secondH4932 to the kingH4428. 8Then the IsraelitesH1121H3478 took 200,000H3967H505 captivesH7617 from their kinsmenH251—womenH802, sonsH1121, and daughtersH1323. They alsoH1571 carried offH962 a great deal ofH7227 plunderH7998 and broughtH935 itH7998 to SamariaH8111.
9But a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 namedH8034 OdedH5752 wasH1961 thereH8033, and he went outH3318 to meetH6440 the armyH6635 that returnedH935 to SamariaH8111. “LookH2009,” he saidH559 to them, “because of His wrathH2534 againstH5921 JudahH3063, the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, has delivered themH5414 into your handH3027. But you have slaughteredH2026 them in a rageH2197 that reaches upH5060 to heavenH8064. 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.
