2 Chronicles 28:16-21

16At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria for help.

17The Edomites had again come and attacked Judah and carried away prisoners,

18while the Philistines had raided towns in the foothills and in the Negev of Judah. They captured and occupied Beth Shemesh, Aijalon and Gederoth, as well as Soko, Timnah and Gimzo, with their surrounding villages.

19The Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had promoted wickedness in Judah and had been most unfaithful to the Lord.

20Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came to him, but he gave him trouble instead of help.

21Ahaz took some of the things from the temple of the Lord and from the royal palace and from the officials and presented them to the king of Assyria, but that did not help him.
