2 Chronicles 28:5

Judah Defeated

5 ^dTherefore 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.

2 Chronicles 28:16-21

16 ^eAt that time King Ahaz sent to the king ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate (compare 2 Kings 16:7); Hebrew kings} of Assyria for help. 17 For the Edomites had again invaded and defeated Judah and carried away captives. 18 ^gAnd the Philistines had made raids on ^hthe cities in the Shephelah and the Negeb of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco ⁱwith its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages. And they settled there. 19 For the Lord humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had made ^jJudah act sinfully ^{▼▼Or wildly} and had been very unfaithful to the Lord. 20 So ^lTiglath-pileser ^{▼▼Hebrew Tilgath-pilneser} king of Assyria came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him. 21 ⁿFor 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.

Isaiah 5:5-6

5 And now I will tell you
what I will do to my vineyard.
I will remove ^oits hedge,
and it shall be devoured; ^{▼▼Or grazed over; compare Exodus 22:5}
^qI will break down its wall,
and it shall be trampled down.
6 I will make it a waste;
it shall not be pruned or hoed,
and ^rbriers and thorns shall grow up;
^sI will also command the clouds
that they rain no rain upon it.

Isaiah 5:9

9 The Lord of hosts has sworn in my hearing:
^t“Surely many houses shall be desolate,
large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.

Isaiah 6:11

11 Then I said, ^u“How long, O Lord?”
And he said:
“Until ^vcities lie waste
without inhabitant,
and houses without people,
and the land is a desolate waste,

Isaiah 24:10-12

10 ^wThe wasted city is broken down;
^xevery house is shut up so that none can enter.
11 ^yThere is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine;
^zall joy has grown dark;
the gladness of the earth is banished.
12 Desolation is left in the city;
the gates are battered into ruins.
