Send back those you have seized from your brothers, for the Lord is very angry at you!” 5 28:12 So some of 6 the Ephraimite family leaders, Azariah son of Jehochanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jechizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai confronted 7 those returning from the battle. 28:13 They said to them, “Don’t bring those captives here! Are you planning on making us even more sinful and guilty before the Lord? 8 Our guilt is already great and the Lord is very angry at Israel.” 9
