2 Chronicles 28:9

In that tempest, or (that time of) vengeance, a prophet of the Lord, Oded by name, was there, which went out against the host of Israel coming into Samaria, and he said to them, Lo! the Lord God of your fathers was wroth against Judah, and he hath betaken them in your hands; and ye have slain them cruelly, so that your cruelty stretcheth forth into heaven. (And in that tempest, (or at that time of vengeance), a prophet of the Lord named Oded was there, and he went out to meet the army (of Israel) coming back to Samaria, and he said to them, Behold! the Lord God of your fathers was angry against Judah, and so he delivered them into your hands; but ye have cruelly killed them, so that your cruelty stretcheth forth unto heaven.)
