2 Chronicles 28:10

Ye purpose. — Literally, Ye are saying or proposing (2ch. 1:18).

To keep under. — Subdue, or reduce to bondmen, Genesis 1:28 (kabash).

Unto you. — Yourselves.

But are there not with you. — An abrupt question: Are there no trespasses at all with you yourselves? i.e., “Are you yourselves wholly guiltless, that your indignation was so hot against your brethren? (Genesis 20:11). Or, “Are there no trespasses with you only?”... Are you the only guiltless people, so that you are justified in these severities?” (Job 1:15). The reference in either case may be to the calves of Bethel and Dan.
