2 Chronicles 28:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² On hearing this, some of the Ephraimite leaders—Azariah, son of Jehohanan; Berechiah, son of Meshillemoth; Jehizkiah, son of Shallum; and Amasa, son of Hadlai—confronted those who were returning from the war ¹³ and said to them: “Do not bring these captives here, for what you are proposing will only increase our sins and our guilt. For our guilt is already substantial, and fierce anger threatens the security of Israel.”

¹⁴ Therefore, in the presence of the officials and the entire assembly, the soldiers surrendered the captives and the booty.
