5ThenH227 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of AramH758 and PekahH6492 sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 came upH5927 to wage warH4421 against JerusalemH3389. They besiegedH6696H5921 AhazH271 but couldH3201 notH3808 overcomeH3898 him.

6At thatH1931 timeH6256 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of AramH758 recoveredH7725 ElathH3591 for AramH758,2 drove outH5394 the men of JudahH3064, and sentH935 the EdomitesH761 into ElathH359, whereH8033 they liveH3427 toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.

7So AhazH271 sentH7971 messengersH4397 toH413 Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, “IH589 am your servantH5650 and your sonH1121. Come upH5927 and save meH3467 from the handsH3709 of the kingsH4428 of AramH758H3709 and IsraelH3478, who are rising upH6965 against meH5921.”

8AhazH271 also tookH3947 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and in the treasuriesH214 of the king’sH4428 palaceH1004, and he sent itH7971 as a giftH7810 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 9So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 respondedH8085 to himH413, marched upH5927H4428H804 toH413 DamascusH1834, and captured itH8610. He took its peopleH1540 to Kir as captivesH7024 andH853 put RezinH7526 to deathH4191.
