2 CHRONICLES 28:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.”
The northern capture — 'And the Israelites took captive two hundred thousand of their kin, women, sons, and daughters; they also took much booty from them and brought the booty to Samaria' (וישׁבו בני ישׂראל מאחיהם מאתיים אלף נשׁים בנים ובנות וגם שׁלל רב שׁלחו להם וישׂיאו את השׁלל לשׁמרונה). The capture of 200,000 women, children, and dependents, plus extensive booty, indicates mass displacement. The transportation to Samaria establishes northern control.
