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;
their women, sons and daughters, even all of them, the whole 200,000:

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 to meet the army coming home to Samaria. He said to them, "The LORD God of your ancestors handed Judah over to you in his anger. You killed them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.
10 Now you intend to enslave the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem. But aren't you also guilty of sinning against the LORD your God?
11 Listen to me. Return these prisoners you have captured from your relatives, because the LORD is very angry with you."
12 Then Azariah, son of Jehohan, Berechiah, son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah, son of Shallum, and Amasa, son of Hadlai (some leaders of Ephraim) opposed those coming home from the army.
13 They said to the army, "Don't bring the prisoners here. You'll make us responsible for this sin against the LORD. Do you intend to add to all our sins? The LORD is very angry with Israel because we have already sinned."
