14:028:009 But a prophet of the lord was there, whose name was Oded:  and
           he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said
           unto them, Behold, because the lord God of your fathers was
           wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and
           ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.

14:028:010 And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and
           Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you:  but are there
           not with you, even with you, sins against the lord your God?

14:028:011 Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which
           ye have taken captive of your brethren:  for the fierce wrath
           of the lord is upon you.

14:028:012 Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah
           the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and
           Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai,
           stood up against them that came from the war,

14:028:013 And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: 
           for whereas we have offended against the lord already, ye
           intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass:  for our
           trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.

14:028:014 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the
           princes and all the congregation.

14:028:015 And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the
           captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among
           them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat
           and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of
           them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm
           trees, to their brethren:  then they returned to Samaria.

14:028:016 At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to
           help him.

14:028:017 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried
           away captives.

14:028:018 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low
           country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh,
           and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages
           thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and
           the villages thereof:  and they dwelt there.

14:028:019 For the lord brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel;
           for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the
           lord.

14:028:020 And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and
           distressed him, but strengthened him not.

14:028:021 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the lord, and
           out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it
           unto the king of Assyria:  but he helped him not.
