2 Chronicles 28:16-21 ▼

16 At that time King Ahaz asked the king of Assyria for help.

17 The Edomites came again, attacked Judah, and took captives.

18 The Philistines also raided the cities of the Judean foothills and the Negev of Judah. They captured and occupied Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth, as well as Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo with their surrounding villages.

19 For the LORD humbled Judah because of King Ahaz of Judah, who threw off restraint in Judah and was unfaithful to the LORD.

20 Then King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria came against Ahaz; he oppressed him and did not give him support.

21 Although Ahaz plundered the LORD’s temple and the palace of the king and of the rulers and gave the plunder to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.
