2 Chronicles 28:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 28:11

Now hear me therefore
And not only hear, but be obedient:

and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken of your brethren;

for the fierce wrath of God is upon you;
hangs over your heads, and will fall upon you, unless you do this.

2 Chronicles 28:11 In-Context

9 A prophet of the Lord named Oded was there. He went out to meet the army that came to Samaria and said to them, "Look, the Lord God of your ancestors handed them over to you because of His wrath against Judah, but you slaughtered them in a rage that has reached heaven.

10 Now you plan to reduce the people of Judah and Jerusalem, male and female, to slavery. Are you not also guilty before the Lord your God?

11 Listen to me and return the captives you took from your brothers, for the Lord's fierce wrath is on you."

12 So some men who were leaders of the Ephraimites-Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai-stood in opposition to those coming from the war.

13 They said to them, "You must not bring the captives here, for you plan to bring guilt on us from the Lord to add to our sins and our guilt. For we have much guilt, and fierce wrath is on Israel."
