2 Chronicles 28:13

13 et dixerunt eis non introducetis huc captivos ne peccemus Domino quare vultis adicere super peccata nostra et vetera cumulare delicta grande quippe peccatum est et ira furoris Domini inminet super Israhel

2 Chronicles 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.

2 Chronicles 28:13 In-Context

11 sed audite consilium meum et reducite captivos quos adduxistis de fratribus vestris quia magnus furor Domini inminet vobis

12 steterunt itaque viri de principibus filiorum Ephraim Azarias filius Iohanan Barachias filius Mosollamoth Hiezechias filius Sellum et Amasa filius Adali contra eos qui veniebant de proelio

13 et dixerunt eis non introducetis huc captivos ne peccemus Domino quare vultis adicere super peccata nostra et vetera cumulare delicta grande quippe peccatum est et ira furoris Domini inminet super Israhel

14 dimiseruntque viri bellatores praedam et universa quae ceperant coram principibus et omni multitudine

15 steteruntque viri quos supra memoravimus et adprehendentes captivos omnesque qui nudi erant vestierunt de spoliis cumque vestissent eos et calciassent et refecissent cibo ac potu unxissent quoque propter laborem et adhibuissent eis curam quicumque ambulare non poterant et erant inbecillo corpore inposuerunt eos iumentis et adduxerunt Hierichum civitatem Palmarum ad fratres eorum ipsique reversi sunt Samariam
