2 Chronicles 28:21

In context

19For Yahweh brought Judah low on account of Ahaz king of Israel, who let Judah run wild and broke faith utterly with Yahweh. 20Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came against him and pressed him hard instead of strengthening him. 21Ahaz stripped the house of Yahweh, the king’s house and the officers, and made a gift of it to the king of Assyria — and it was no help to him. 22In the time of his own distress this same King Ahaz broke faith with Yahweh still further. 23He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, who had struck him. “Since the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them,” he said, “I will sacrifice to them and they will help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
