2 Tawarikh 28:20-22

28:20 King Tiglath-pileser ¹  of Assyria came, but he gave him more trouble than support. ²  28:21 Ahaz gathered riches ³  from the Lord’s temple, the royal palace, and the officials and gave them to the king of Assyria, but that did not help.

28:22 During his time of trouble King Ahaz was even more unfaithful to the Lord.
