2 Chronicles 28:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² Then some of the chief men of the sons of Ephraim, Azarias the son of Johanan, Barachias the son of Mosollamoth, Ezechias the son of Sellum, and Amasa the son of Adali, stood up against them that came from the war.

¹³ And they said to them: You shall not bring in the captives hither, lest we sin against the Lord. Why will you add to our sins, and heap up upon our former offences? for the sin is great, and the fierce anger of the Lord hangeth over Israel.

¹⁴ So the soldiers left the spoils, and all that they had taken, before the princes and all the multitude.
