Context — Aram Defeats Judah
6For in one day Pekah son of Remaliah killed 120,000 valiant men in Judah. This happened because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
7Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the son of the king, Azrikam the governor of the palace, and Elkanah the second to the king.
8Then the Israelites took 200,000 captives from their kinsmen—women, sons, and daughters. They also carried off a great deal of plunder and brought it to Samaria.
9But a prophet of the LORD named Oded was there, and he went out to meet the army that returned to Samaria. “Look,” he said to them, “because of His wrath against Judah, the LORD, the God of your fathers, has delivered them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reaches up to heaven. 10And now you intend to reduce to slavery the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem. But are you not also guilty before the LORD your God?Cross References

2 Chronicles 28:8 Summary
In 2 Chronicles 28:8, the Israelites took 200,000 of their relatives captive and carried off a lot of plunder, which shows the devastating consequences of turning away from God, as warned in Deuteronomy 28:25. This verse teaches us the importance of remaining faithful to God and following His commands, as seen in Joshua 1:7-8. By seeking God's guidance and forgiveness, we can avoid the mistakes of the past and live a life that honors Him, as encouraged in 1 John 1:9 and Psalm 32:1-5. As we reflect on this verse, we can ask ourselves how we can demonstrate God's love and compassion to those around us, especially those who may be struggling.

What can we learn from the Israelites' actions in this verse?

2 Chronicles 28:8 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.Ver. 8. Two hundred thousand women, sons and daughters.] These also were sinners against their own souls: for "the children gathered wood, and the fathers kindled the fire, and the women kneaded dough to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke the Lord to anger."
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 28:8
(8) Of their brethren.—Heightening the barbarity of the deed. So 2 Chronicles 28:11. Two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters.—See Note on 2 Chronicles 28:6. Sennacherib boasts that in the war against Hezekiah he took forty-six strong cities of Judah, and carried off 200,150 captives. The number of the text is thus corroborated from a foreign and wholly unrelated source. The thrilling narrative of Kings (2 Kings 18-19) says nothing of the carrying away of all these captives by the Assyrian invader, the interest of the writer being centred on Jerusalem. With this omission that of the facts related in the present section may be compared.
