2 Kings 16:1-9
1In the seventeenth yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427. 2TwentyH6242 yearsH8141 old was AhazH271 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 sixteen yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and he did not that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah his GodH430, like DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 3But he walked in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, yea, and made his sonH1121 to passH5674 through the fireH784, according to the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of IsraelH3478. 4And he sacrificedH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 in the highH1116 placesH1116, and on the hillsH1389, and under every green treeH6086.
5ThenH227 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of Syria and PekahH6492 sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 cameH5927 up to JerusalemH3389 to warH4421: and they besieged AhazH271, but could not overcome him. 6At that timeH6256 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of Syria recovered ElathH359 to Syria, and drove the JewsH3064 from ElathH359; and the Syrians cameH935 to ElathH359, and dweltH3427 there, unto this dayH3117.
7So AhazH271 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, I am thy servantH5650 and thy sonH1121: comeH5927 up, and saveH3467 me out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of Syria, and out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who riseH6965 up against me. 8And AhazH271 tookH3947 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and in the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 it for a present to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 9And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hearkened unto him; and the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 wentH5927 up against DamascusH1834, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to KirH7024, and slew RezinH7526.
