2Ch 28:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12-13 : The leaders of Israel agree with the prophet. They oppose those who want to bring the captives into Samaria and refuse to make the situation worse (2 Chronicles 28:12-13 ). They realize they already have many sins and do not want to add more. This shows obedience to God’s word and compassion for their fellow Israelites. God’s mercy is working in their hearts ( made them to be pitied of all those that carried them captive , Psalm 106:44, 46 ).
