It is simple, humane, pious, and overwhelmingly convincing; and it is no wonder that it produced the effect here described. That there was much humanity, as well as firmness, in the heads of the children of Ephraim, who joined with the prophet of Jehovah on this occasion, their subsequent conduct, as detailed in the 2Chr 28:15, sufficiently proves. They did not barely dismiss these most unfortunate captives, but they took that very spoil which their victorious army had taken, and with clothed, shod, fed, and anointed these distressed people, set the feeblest of them upon asses, and escorted them safely to Jericho! We can scarcely find a parallel to this in the universal history of the wars which savage man has carried on against his fellows from the foundation of the world. The compliance also of the whole army, in leaving both the captives and spoil to the disposal of the princes, was really wonderful, and perhaps unparalleled in history. Both the princes and army are worthy to be held up to the admiration and imitation of mankind. because the Lord God 2Chr 28:5; Judg 3:8; Ps 69:26; Isa 10:5-7, Isa 47:6; Jer 15:17-18; Ezek 25:12-17; Ezek 26:2-3; Obad 1:10-16; Zech 1:15 reacheth Gen 4:10, Gen 11:4; Ezra 9:6; Rev 18:5 keep Lev 25:39-46 not with Jer 25:29; Matt 7:2-4; Rom 12:20-21; 1Pet 4:17-18 the Lord 2Chr 28:5 deliver Isa 58:6; Jer 34:14-15; Heb 13:1-3 the fierce Ezra 10:14; Matt 5:7, Matt 7:2; Jas 2:13 the heads 1Chr 28:1 stood up Jer 26:6 add more Num 32:14; Josh 22:17-18; Matt 23:32, Matt 23:35; Rom 2:5 expressed by name 2Chr 28:12 clothed Job 31:15-23; Isa 58:7; Matt 25:35-45; Acts 9:39; 1Tim 5:10; Jas 2:15-16; 1John 3:17-18 gave them 2Kgs 6:22; Prov 25:21-22; Luke 6:27, Luke 8:27, Luke 8:35; Rom 12:20-21 carried Rom 15:1 the city Deut 34:3; Judg 1:16
