Chronicles II 28:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 28:13

And said unto them, ye shall not bring in the captives hither,
&c.] That is, into Samaria, near which it seems they now were:

for whereas we have offended against the Lord already;
by exceeding in their cruelty against their brethren of Judah, as well as by worshipping the calves:

ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass:
by making slaves of those they had taken captives, which was against the express law of God:

for your trespass is great;
which they had committed already, by their idolatrous practices:

and there is fierce wrath against Israel;
which they perceived by what the prophet had said.
