⁸The men of Israel took captive from their fellow Israelites who were from Judah^(A) two hundred thousand wives, sons and daughters. They also took a great deal of plunder, which they carried back to Samaria.^(B)

⁹But a prophet of the Lord named Oded was there, and he went out to meet the army when it returned to Samaria. He said to them, “Because the Lord, the God of your ancestors, was angry^(C) with Judah, he gave them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reaches to heaven.^(D) ¹⁰And now you intend to make the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem your slaves.^(E) But aren’t you also guilty of sins against the Lord your God? ¹¹Now listen to me! Send back your fellow Israelites you have taken as prisoners, for the Lord’s fierce anger rests on you.^(F)”

King James Version

⁸And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

⁹But 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.

¹⁰And 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?

¹¹Now 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.

Israel Returns the Captives

⁹But a ^(B)prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: “Look, ^(C)because the Lord God of your fathers was angry with Judah, He has delivered them into your hand; but you have killed them in a rage that ^(D)reaches up to heaven. ¹⁰And now you propose to force the children of Judah and Jerusalem to be your ^(E)male and female slaves; but are you not also guilty before the Lord your God? ¹¹Now hear me, therefore, and return the captives, whom you have taken captive from your brethren, ^(F)for the fierce wrath of the Lord is upon you.”
