2 Kings 16:3-10

3But he walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, 1and evenH1571 made his sonH1121 passH5674 through the fireH784, 2according to the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471 whomH834 the LordH3068 had 3drivenH3423 out from beforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 4He 4sacrificedH2076 and burnedH6999 incenseH6999 on the highH1116 placesH1116 and on the hillsH1389 and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086.

5ThenH227 5RezinH7526 kingH4428 of AramH758 and PekahH6492 sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, cameH5927 up to JerusalemH3389 to wage warH4421; and they besiegedH6696H5921 AhazH271, 6but couldH3201 not 7overcomeH3898 him. 6At that timeH6256 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of AramH758 recoveredH7725 8ElathH365 for AramH758, and clearedH5394 the JudeansH3064 out of 9ElathH359 entirely; and the 10ArameansH130 cameH935 to ElathH365 and have livedH3427 thereH8033 to thisH2088 dayH3117.

711So AhazH271 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to 12Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, “I am your servantH5650 and your sonH1121; comeH5927 up and deliverH3467 me from the 13handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AramH758 and from the 14handH3709 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who are risingH6965 up againstH5921 me.” 815AhazH271 tookH3947 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and in the treasuriesH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 a presentH7810 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 916So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 listenedH8085 to him; and the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 wentH5927 up againstH413 DamascusH1834 and 17capturedH8610 it, and carriedH1540 the people of it awayH1540 into exileH1540 to 18KirH7024, and putH4191 RezinH7526 to deathH4191.

10Now KingH4428 AhazH271 wentH1980 to DamascusH1834 to meetH7122 19Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and sawH7200 the altarH4196 whichH834 was at DamascusH1834; and KingH4428 AhazH271 sentH7971 to 20UrijahH223 the priestH3548 the 21patternH1823 of the altarH4196 and its modelH8403, according to allH3605 its workmanshipH4639.
