2 Chronicles 29:9

9 Here, our ancestors have fallen by the sword; and on this account our sons, daughters and wives have gone into captivity.

2 Chronicles 29:9 In-Context

7 They sealed the doors of the vestibule, put out the lamps and stopped burning incense and offering burnt offerings in the Holy Place to the God of Isra'el.
8 "Because of this, ADONAI's anger has settled on Y'hudah and Yerushalayim; and he has made them an object of horror, astonishment and mocking - as you can see with your own eyes.
9 Here, our ancestors have fallen by the sword; and on this account our sons, daughters and wives have gone into captivity.
10 "Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with ADONAI the God of Isra'el, so that his furious anger will turn away from us.
11 My sons, now is not a time for being negligent; for you are the ones ADONAI chose to stand before him and serve him as his ministers, offering him incense."
