⁹ For behold, ^(A)our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

¹⁷ For the Edomites had again invaded and defeated Judah and carried away captives.

Judah Defeated

^5 (A)Therefore the Lord his God gave him into the hand of the king of Syria, who defeated him and took captive a great number of his people and brought them to Damascus. He was also given into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with great force. ⁶ For ^(B)Pekah the son of Remaliah killed 120,000 from Judah in one day, all of them men of valor, because they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers. ⁷ And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son and Azrikam the commander of the palace and Elkanah the next in authority to the king.

⁸ The men of Israel took captive 200,000 ^(C)of their relatives, women, sons, and daughters. They also took much spoil from them and brought the spoil to Samaria.

¹⁷ I will ^(A)set my face against you, and ^(B)you shall be struck down before your enemies. ^(C)Those who hate you shall rule over you, and ^(D)you shall flee when none pursues you.
