2 Chronicles 28:20-23

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.

22In the time of his distress, this same King Ahaz became yet more unfaithful to the Lord.

23For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had defeated him, and he said, “Since the gods of the kings of Aram (Syria) helped them, I will sacrifice to them so that they may help me.” But they became the ruin and downfall of him and all of Israel.
