Ahaz Reigns in Judah
1 aAhaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David had done, 2but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. He even made bmetal images for cthe Baals, 3and dhe made offerings in the eValley of the Son of Hinnom and fburned his sons as an offering, ▼▼Hebrew made his sons pass through the fire
according to hthe abominations of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel. 4And he sacrificed and imade offerings on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree. Judah Defeated
5 jTherefore the Lord his God gave him into the hand of the king of Syria, who defeated him and took captive a great number of his people and brought them to Damascus. He was also given into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with great force. 6For kPekah the son of Remaliah killed 120,000 from Judah in one day, all of them men of valor, because they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers. 7And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son and Azrikam the commander of the palace and Elkanah the next in authority to the king.8The men of Israel took captive 200,000 lof their relatives, women, sons, and daughters. They also took much spoil from them and brought the spoil to Samaria.
