2 Chronicles 28:16-21

16At that time King Ahaz sent word to the king of Assyria [to ask him] for help.

17For the Edomites had come again and attacked Judah and led away captives.

18The Philistines had also invaded the cities of the low country and of the Negev (the South country) of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, and Soco with their villages, and also Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages, and they settled there.

19For the Lord humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for Ahaz had allowed unrestrained and undisciplined behavior in Judah and had been very unfaithful to the Lord.

20So Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came against him and harassed him instead of strengthening and supporting him.

21Although Ahaz took a portion [of treasure] from the house of the Lord and from the house (palace) of the king and from the leaders, and gave it [as tribute] to the king of Assyria, it did not help Ahaz.
