And said unto them, ye shall not bring in the captives hither,…. That is, into Samaria, near which it seems they now were:
for whereas we have offended against the Lord already; by exceeding in their cruelty against their brethren of Judah, as well as by worshipping the calves:
ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: by making slaves of those they had taken captives, which was against the express law of God:
for your trespass is great; which they had committed already, by their idolatrous practices:
and there is fierce wrath against Israel; which they perceived by what the prophet had said.

(13) Ye shall not bring in.Into the city.
Whereas we . . . already.This is at least a possible rendering. Literally, at or in the trespass of (against) Jehovah (lying) upon us, ye are proposing to add to our sins, &c. Others translate, so that a trespass against Jehovah come upon us. (Comp. Lev. 4:3.) But the elders admit an already existing trespass, when they add, for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel. What they deprecate is an aggravation of that trespass.
Our trespass is great.Literally, a great trespass is ours. (Syriac omits this clause and next verse. Instead of 2Ch. 28:15 it has: And they caused the whole captivity to return to Jerusalem. It then continues with 2Ch. 28:23-25, transposing 2Ch. 28:16-21.)

Ver. 13. Ye shall not bring in the captives hither. ] This was right; the commanders take part with the prophet in opposing and beating down the sins of the people.
To add more to our sins, and to our trespass.
