2 Kings 16:3-10

3But he walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, 1and he evenH1571 made his sonH1121 passH5674 through the fireH784, 2in accordance with the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471 whomH834 the LordH3068 had 3drivenH3423 outH3423 beforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 4And he 4sacrificedH2076 and burnedH6999 incenseH6999 on the highH1116 placesH1116, on the hillsH1389, and underH8478 everyH3605 greenH7488 treeH6086.

5ThenH227 5RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of AramH758 and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, wentH5927 upH5927 to JerusalemH3389 for warH4421; and they besiegedH6696H5921 AhazH271, 6but 7wereH3201 not capableH3201 of fightingH3898 him. 6At that timeH6256 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of AramH758 restoredH7725 8ElathH365 to AramH758, and droveH5394 the JudeansH3064 awayH5394 from 9ElathH359; 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 upH5927 and saveH3467 me from the 13handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AramH758, and from the 14handH3709 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who are risingH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 me.” 8And 15AhazH271 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 giftH7810 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 916So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 listenedH8085 to him; and the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 wentH5927 upH5927 againstH413 DamascusH1834 and 17capturedH8610 it, and ledH1540 the people of it intoH1540 exileH1540 to 18KirH7024, and putH4191 RezinH7526 toH4191 deathH4191.

10Now KingH4428 AhazH271 wentH1980 to DamascusH1834 to meetH7122 19Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and he 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.
