16 At that time King Ahaz asked the king of Assyria to help him, 17 For until this time the Edomites came and smote Judah and carried away captives. 18 And the Philistines also had come and besieged the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had captured the town of Beth-shemesh and the town of Ajalon and the town of Azoroth and Shob with its villages and Timnah with its villages and Geram with its villages. 19 For the LORD brought Judah low because of the sins of Ahaz king of Judah; for he increased iniquity in Judah and transgressed grievously against the LORD. 20 And Tiglath-pilezer king of Assyria came against him, and encamped against him and distressed him greatly. 21 And King Ahaz took away the vessels that were in the house of the LORD and the vessels that were in the houses of former kings and in the houses of rich men, and gave them to the king of Assyria, that he might not harm him in the time of his distress. 2 Chronicles 28:16-21, Lamsa Bible.
