2 Chronicles 28:20-23
20So aTiglath-pileser ▼▼Hebrew Tilgath-pilneser
king of Assyria came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him. 21 cFor Ahaz took a portion from the house of the Lord and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave tribute to the king of Assyria, but it did not help him. Ahaz’s Idolatry
22In the time of his distress he became yet more faithless to the Lord—this same King Ahaz. 23For dhe sacrificed to the gods of Damascus that had defeated him and said, e“Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
