2 Chronicles 28:10-18
10And now you are planning to enslave the people of Judah and Jerusalem. Yet are you not also guilty before the Lord your God?
11Now listen to me! Send back those you have seized from your brothers, for the Lord is very angry at you!”
12So some of the Ephraimite family leaders, Azariah son of Jehochanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jechizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai confronted those returning from the battle.
13They said to them, “Don’t bring those captives here! Are you planning on making us even more sinful and guilty before the Lord? Our guilt is already great and the Lord is very angry at Israel.”
14So the soldiers released the captives and the plunder before the officials and the entire assembly.
15Men were assigned to take the prisoners and find clothes among the plunder for those who were naked. So they clothed them, supplied them with sandals, gave them food and drink, and provided them with oil to rub on their skin. They put the ones who couldn’t walk on donkeys. They brought them back to their brothers at Jericho, the city of the date palm trees, and then returned to Samaria.
16At that time King Ahaz asked the king of Assyria for help.
17The Edomites had again invaded and defeated Judah and carried off captives.
18The Philistines had raided the cities of Judah in the lowlands and the Negev. They captured and settled in Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco and its surrounding villages, Timnah and its surrounding villages, and Gimzo and its surrounding villages.
