Judah Defeated by Aram
9But a prophet of the LORD named Oded was there, and he went out to meet the army that returned to Samaria. “Look,” he said to them, “because of His wrath against Judah, the LORD, the God of your fathers, has delivered them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reaches up to heaven. 10And now you intend to reduce to slavery the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem. But are you not also guilty before the LORD your God? 11Now therefore, listen to me and return the captives you took from your kinsmen, for the fierce anger of the LORD is upon you.”…

2 Chronicles 28
1. Ahaz, reigning wickedly, is greatly afflicted by the Syrians.
6. Judah, being captivated by the Israelites, is sent home by the counsel of Oded.
16. Ahaz sending for aid to Assyria, is not helped thereby,
22. In his distress he grows more idolatrous
26. He dying, Hezekiah succeeds him














(10) Ye purpose.--Literally, Ye are saying or proposing (2ch. 1:18).

To keep under.--Subdue, or reduce to bondmen, Genesis 1:28 (kabash).

Unto you.--Yourselves.

But are there not with you.--An abrupt question: Are there no trespasses at all with you yourselves? i.e., "Are you yourselves wholly guiltless, that your indignation was so hot against your brethren? (Genesis 20:11). Or, "Are there no trespasses with you only?" . . . Are you the only guiltless people, so that you are justified in these severities?" (Job 1:15). The reference in either case may be to the calves of Bethel and Dan.

Verse 10. - For bondmen and bondwomen unto you. The denunciation of Deuteronomy 28:68 may be instructively compared with the emphatic prohibition of Leviticus 25:46. The moral thread of ordinance that runs everywhere through the divinely established economy of the Old Testament Judaism should be devoutly observed. The verse, in the position of its words, furnishes an example of almost classical pattern: And now persons who are children of Judah and Jerusalem, ye are resolving within yourselves (literally, saying) to subdue into bondmen and bondwomen for yourselves.
