2 Chronicles 28:13

And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.

The leaders of Israel refused to allow the captives to be brought in among them, because the defeat of Judah in battle did not give them any right to make slaves of their brethren. They understood that victory was not permission for cruelty, and that taking fellow Israelites as bondmen would be an abuse of power rather than a lawful spoil of war. They openly confessed that they had already offended against the Lord, and that to enslave the captives would add more to their sins and to their trespass. They declared that their trespass was already great, and that further wrongdoing would bring fierce wrath upon Israel itself.

Injustice and oppression therefore call down the judgments of God, and those who practice them invite divine anger upon themselves even when they claim the advantage of conquest.
