Exegesis
The noun phrase ha-shivyah {הַשִּׁבְיָה | ha-šib-yāh} ‘captives’ is defined by the relative clause introduced by ’asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} ‘whom’ with shevitem me‛akheikhem {שְׁבִיתֶם מֵאֲחֵיכֶם | šə-vi-tem mê-ʾă-ḥê-yə-ḵem}, specifying those taken in battle from kin.
In context — 2 Chronicles 28:11
And now, listen to me, and send back the captives whom you captured from your brothers, for the burning anger of the LORD is upon you.
