Context of 2 Chronicles 28:20
18The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with its villages, and Timnah with its villages, Gimzo also and its villages: and they dwelt there. 19For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and greatly transgressed against the LORD. And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. 21For Ahaz took away a portion from the house of the LORD, and from the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but he helped him not. 22And in the time of his distress he trespassed yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.

Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 28:20
