(A)The sons of Israel led away captive two hundred thousand of (B)their relatives, women, sons, and daughters; and they also [a]took a great deal of spoils from them, and brought the spoils to Samaria. But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Oded; and (C)he went out to meet the army which came to Samaria and said to them, “Behold, because the Lord, the God of your fathers, (D)was angry with Judah, He has handed them over to you, and you have killed them in a rage (E)which has even reached heaven. 10 Now you are proposing to (F)subjugate the people of Judah and Jerusalem as male and female slaves for yourselves. Are you not, however guilty yourselves of offenses against the Lord your God? 11 Now then, listen to me and return the captives (G)whom you captured from your brothers, (H)for the burning anger of the Lord is against you.”
