2 Chronicles 28:6-15
6For 1Pekah the son of Remaliah killed 120,000 in Judah in one day, all valiant men, because they had abandoned the Lord God of their fathers. 7And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah the second to the king.
82The sons of Israel led away captive two hundred thousand of 3their relatives, women, sons, and daughters; and they also 4took a great deal of spoils from them, and brought the spoils to Samaria. 9But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Oded; and 5he went out to meet the army which came to Samaria and said to them, “Behold, because the Lord, the God of your fathers, 6was angry with Judah, He has handed them over to you, and you have killed them in a rage 7which has even reached heaven. 10Now you are proposing to 8subjugate the people of Judah and Jerusalem as male and female slaves for yourselves. Are you not, however guilty yourselves of offenses against the Lord your God? 11Now then, listen to me and return the captives 9whom you captured from your brothers, 10for the burning anger of the Lord is against you.” 12Then some of the leading men of the sons of Ephraim--Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai--rose up against those who were coming from the battle, 13and said to them, “You must not bring the captives in here, for you are proposing to bring guilt upon us before the Lord, adding to our sins and our guilt; for our guilt is great, and His burning anger is against Israel.” 14So the armed men left the captives and the spoils before the officers and all the assembly. 15Then 11the men who were designated by name got up, took the captives, and they clothed all their naked people from the spoils; they gave them clothes and sandals, fed them and 12gave them drink, anointed them with oil, led all their feeble ones on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, 13the city of palm trees, to their brothers; then they returned to Samaria.
