Context of 2 Chronicles 28:8

6For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, who were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. 7And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king. And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and also took away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. 9But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was angry with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth to heaven. 10And now ye purpose to bring into bondage for yourselves the children of Judah and Jerusalem for male and female slaves: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?
