And the sons of Israel seized, from their brothers, two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and immense plunder. And they took it away to Samaria.
At that time, there was a prophet of the Lord there, named Oded.

But you have killed them by atrocities, so that your cruelty has reached up to heaven.
Moreover, you wanted to subjugate the sons of Judah and Jerusalem as your men and women servants, which is a work that should never be done. And so you sinned in this matter against the Lord your God.

And they said to them: “You shall not lead back captives to here, lest we sin against the Lord. Why are you willing to add to our sins, and to build upon our old offenses? For indeed, the sin is great, and the furious anger of the Lord is hanging over Israel.”
And the warriors released the spoils and all that they had seized, in the sight of the leaders and the entire multitude.
