2 Chronicles 28:5-15

5Wherefore YhwhH3068 his GodH430 deliveredH5414 him into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758; and they smoteH5221 him, and carried awayH7617 a great multitudeH1419 of them captivesH7633, and broughtH935 them to DamascusH1834. And he was also deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who smoteH5221 him with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347.1

6For PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 slewH2026 in JudahH3063 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 in oneH259 dayH3117, which were all valiantH2428 menH1121; because they had forsakenH5800 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1.2 7And ZichriH2147, a mighty manH1368 of EphraimH669, slewH2026 MaaseiahH4641 the king’sH4428 sonH1121, and AzrikamH5840 the governorH5057 of the houseH1004, and ElkanahH511 that was nextH4932 to the kingH4428.3 8And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 carried away captiveH7617 of their brethrenH251 two hundredH3967 thousandH505, womenH802, sonsH1121, and daughtersH1323, and took also awayH962 muchH7227 spoilH7998 from them, and broughtH935 the spoilH7998 to SamariaH8111. 9But a prophetH5030 of YhwhH3068 was there, whose nameH8034 was OdedH5752: and he went outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH6635 that cameH935 to SamariaH8111, and saidH559 unto them, Behold, because YhwhH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 was wrothH2534 with JudahH3063, he hath deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027, and ye have slainH2026 them in a rageH2197 that reacheth upH5060 unto heavenH8064. 10And now ye purposeH559 to keep underH3533 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 for bondmenH5650 and bondwomenH8198 unto you: but are there not with you, evenH7535 with you, sinsH819 against YhwhH3068 your GodH430? 11Now hearH8085 me therefore, and deliverH7725 the captivesH7633 again, which ye have taken captiveH7617 of your brethrenH251: for the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of YhwhH3068 is upon you. 12Then certainH582 of the headsH7218 of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of JohananH3076, BerechiahH1296 the sonH1121 of MeshillemothH4919, and JehizkiahH3169 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of HadlaiH2311, stood upH6965 against them that cameH935 from the warH6635, 13And saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not bring inH935 the captivesH7633 hither: for whereas we have offendedH819 against YhwhH3068 already, ye intendH559 to addH3254 more to our sinsH2403 and to our trespassH819: for our trespassH819 is greatH7227, and there is fierceH2740 wrathH639 against IsraelH3478. 14So the armed menH2502 leftH5800 the captivesH7633 and the spoilH961 beforeH6440 the princesH8269 and all the congregationH6951. 15And the menH582 which were expressedH5344 by nameH8034 rose upH6965, and tookH2388 the captivesH7633, and with the spoilH7998 clothedH3847 all that were nakedH4636 among them, and arrayedH3847 them, and shodH5274 them, and gave them to eatH398 and to drinkH8248, and anointedH5480 them, and carriedH5095 all the feebleH3782 of them upon donkeysH2543, and broughtH935 them to JerichoH3405, the cityH5892 of palm treesH5899H8558, toH681 their brethrenH251: then they returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
