וַיִּקַּ֞ח יוֹחָנָ֤ן בֶּן־קָרֵ֙חַ֙ וְכָל־שָׂרֵ֣י הַחֲיָלִ֔ים אֵ֖ת כָּל־שְׁאֵרִ֣ית יְהוּדָ֑ה אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֗בוּ מִכָּל־הַגּוֹיִם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִדְּחוּ־שָׁ֔ם לָג֖וּר בְּאֶ֥רֶץ יְהוּדָֽה׃
Lalu Yohanan bin Kareah dan semua panglima pasukan membawa seluruh sisa orang Yehuda yang telah kembali dari segala bangsa, ke mana mereka dahulu terhalau, untuk tinggal di tanah Yehuda:
Ibn Ezra
enthrone your brother if he be not an Israelite (e.g., an Edomite, even though he is called “your brother” [23: 8]). The reason for the law about the horses is that in those times horses were imported from Egypt. The evidence is the passage “a chariot going out of Egypt…” [I Kings 10: 29], which occurred during Solomonic times. Because of Solomon’s need for their horses, he caused the people to sin and to return to Egypt. Obviously, it is a disgrace to return to Egypt after God has redeemed us from there (Uriah the prophet fled there only because his life was in danger [Jeremiah 26: 21]; and Jeremiah went there against his will [Jeremiah 43: 5-7]).
