2 Kings 16:5-7
5Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to wage war against Jerusalem. They besieged Ahaz but could not overcome him.
6At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath1 for Aram,2 drove out the men of Judah, and sent the Edomites into Elath, where they live to this day.
7So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me from the hands of the kings of Aram and Israel, who are rising up against me.”
