• 2 Chr 28:8-9 : 8 The Israelites took captive 200,000 people from their relatives—women, sons, and daughters. They also took a great amount of plunder and brought it to Samaria. 9 But a prophet of the LORD named Oded was there. He went out to meet the army as they arrived in Samaria and said to them, "Because the LORD, the God of your ancestors, was angry with Judah, he gave them into your hands. But you have slain them in a rage that has reached up to heaven. 10 And now you intend to enslave the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem. But aren’t you also guilty of sins against the LORD your God? 11 Now listen to me! Send back your captives whom you have taken from your relatives, for the LORD’s fierce anger is against you. 12 Then some of the leaders of Ephraim—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Hezekiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai—stood up against those returning from the battle. 13 They said to them, "You must not bring the captives here, for we are already guilty before the LORD. Adding these captives will only increase our sins and guilt before God, for our guilt is already great, and His fierce anger is against Israel." 14 So the armed men released the captives and the plunder in the presence of the officials and the entire assembly. 15 The men who were designated by name took charge of the captives. They clothed all the naked among them using the plunder, giving them clothes and sandals, food and drink, and anointed them. They led all those who were weak on donkeys, brought them to their relatives in Jericho, the city of palm trees, and then returned to Samaria.
