Syria and Israel Defeat Judah(A)
5 Therefore (B)the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They (C)defeated him, and carried away a great multitude of them as captives, and brought them to Damascus. Then he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who defeated him with a great slaughter. 6 For (D)Pekah the son of Remaliah killed one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day, all valiant men, (E)because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers. 7 Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the officer over the house, and Elkanah who was second to the king. 8 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their (F)brethren two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters; and they also took away much [a]spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

9 But a (G)prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: “Look, (H)because the Lord God of your fathers was angry with Judah, He has delivered them into your hand; but you have killed them in a rage that (I)reaches up to heaven.
