1In the seventeenthH8141H6240H7651 yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 AhazH271 the sonH1121 of JothamH3147 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began to reignH4427. 2TwentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhazH271 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 sixteenH6240H8337 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389, and didH6213 not that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068 his GodH430, like DavidH1732 his fatherH1. 3But he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, yea, and made his sonH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784, according to the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471, whom YhwhH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 4And he sacrificedH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116, and on the hillsH1389, and under every greenH7488 treeH6086.

5Then RezinH7526 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 and PekahH6492 sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 came upH5927 to JerusalemH3389 to warH4421: and they besiegedH6696 AhazH271, but couldH3201 not overcomeH3898 him. 6At that timeH6256 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 recoveredH7725 ElathH359 to SyriaH130H758, and draveH5394 the JewsH3064 from ElathH359: and the SyriansH726 cameH935 to ElathH359, and dweltH3427 there unto this dayH3117.1 7So AhazH271 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to Tiglath–pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, I am thy servantH5650 and thy sonH1121: come upH5927, and saveH3467 me out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, which rise upH6965 against me. 8And AhazH271 tookH3947 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and in the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 it for a presentH7810 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 9And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hearkenedH8085 unto him: for the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 went upH5927 against DamascusH1834, and tookH8610 it, and carried the people of it captiveH1540 to KirH7024, and slewH4191 RezinH7526.2
