- 现在你们当听我说,要将掳来的弟兄释放回去,因为耶和华向你们已经大发烈怒。
- 于是,以法莲人的几个族长就是约哈难的儿子亚撒利雅,米实利末的儿子比利家,沙龙的儿子耶希西家,哈得莱的儿子亚玛撒起来拦挡出兵回来的人,
- 对他们说,你们不可带进这被掳的人来。你们想要使我们得罪耶和华,加增我们的罪恶过犯。因为我们的罪过甚大,已经有烈怒临到以色列人了。
- 于是带兵器的人将掳来的人口和掠来的财物都留在众首领和会众的面前。
- 以上提名的那些人就站起,使被掳的人前来。其中有赤身的,就从所掠的财物中拿出衣服和鞋来,给他们穿,又给他们吃喝,用膏抹他们。其中有软弱的,就使他们骑驴,送到棕树城耶利哥他们弟兄那里,随后就回撒马利亚去了。

- "Now therefore, listen to me and return the captives whom you captured from your brothers, for the burning anger of the LORD is against you."
- Then some of the heads of the sons of Ephraim--Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai--arose against those who were coming from the battle,
- and said to them, "You must not bring the captives in here, for you are proposing to bring upon us guilt against the LORD adding to our sins and our guilt; for our guilt is great so that His burning anger is against Israel."
- So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the officers and all the assembly.
- Then the men who were designated by name arose, took the captives, and they clothed all their naked ones from the spoil; and they gave them clothes and sandals, fed them and gave them drink, anointed them with oil, led all their feeble ones on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers; then they returned to Samaria.
