2 Chronicles — Chapter 28

CUMQUE VESTISSENT EOS ET CALCEASSENT ET REFECISSENT CIBO AC POTU — the Israelites of Ephraim, rebuked by Oded the prophet, clothed, shod, fed, anointed, and cared for their captive Judaean brothers and returned them to Jericho. Lapide: \"See here the notable humanity and mercy of the Israelites toward the captive Jews, though their enemies, set before all Christian princes and commanders to imitate. For so they will in turn provoke God's mercy upon themselves.\"

CLAUSIT JANUAS TEMPLI — Achaz shut the doors of the Temple of the Lord so that none could worship God or sacrifice therein, but all were forced to go to the shrines of idols. Lapide: \"This wickedness and depravity of Achaz was signal; no one else is read to have done it.\"
