2 Kings 16:5-7
5Then 1Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem for war; and they besieged Ahaz, 2but 3were not capable of fighting him. 6At that time Rezin king of Aram restored 4Elath to Aram, and drove the Judeans away from 5Elath; and the 6Arameans came to Elath and have lived there to this day.
77So Ahaz sent messengers to 8Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son; come up and save me from the 9hand of the king of Aram, and from the 10hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.”
