Hadlai
An Ephraimite leader who opposed the enslavement of captives from Judah.
Hadlai is mentioned in 2 Chronicles 28:12 as one of the four heads of the Ephraimites who stood against the army bringing captives from Judah to Samaria. He supported the prophet Oded in demanding the release of the prisoners, citing the guilt of the northern kingdom before the Lord. His actions highlight a moment of moral intervention during the conflict between Israel and Judah.
