  • 2 Chr 28:5-9 : 5 Therefore, the LORD his God allowed him to fall into the hands of the king of Aram. They defeated him, took a great number of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also handed over to the king of Israel, who inflicted a heavy defeat on him. 6 Pekah son of Remaliah killed 120,000 warriors in Judah in one day because they had abandoned the LORD, the God of their ancestors. 7 Zichri, a mighty warrior from Ephraim, killed Maaseiah, the king’s son, as well as Azrikam, the palace officer, and Elkanah, the second to the king. 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.
  • Isa 7:1-9 : 1 In the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, marched up to Jerusalem for battle, but they could not prevail against it. 2 When it was reported to the house of David, 'Aram has allied itself with Ephraim,' the heart of Ahaz and the hearts of his people trembled, like trees of the forest shaken by the wind. 3 The Lord said to Isaiah, 'Go out to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub, your son, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field,' 4 and say to him, 'Be careful, keep calm, and do not be afraid. Do not lose heart because of these two smoldering stubs of firewood—because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.' 5 'Aram, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted your ruin, saying,' 6 'Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeal king over it.' 7 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It will not take place; it will not happen. 8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be too shattered to be a people. 9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is only Remaliah's son. If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.
