2 Chronicles 28:13

And said unto them, ye shall not bring in the captives hither ,.... 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.
