2 Tawarikh 28:17-27

28:17 The Edomites had again invaded and defeated Judah and carried off captives. 28:18 The Philistines had raided the cities of Judah in the lowlands ¹  and the Negev. They captured and settled in Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco and its surrounding villages, Timnah and its surrounding villages, and Gimzo and its surrounding villages. 28:19 The Lord humiliated ²  Judah because of King Ahaz of Israel, ³  for he encouraged Judah to sin and was very ⁴  unfaithful to the Lord. 28:20 King Tiglath-pileser ⁵  of Assyria came, but he gave him more trouble than support. ⁶  28:21 Ahaz gathered riches ⁷  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. 28:23 He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus whom he thought had defeated him. ⁸  He reasoned, ⁹  “Since the gods of the kings of Damascus helped them, I will sacrifice to them so they will help me.” But they caused him and all Israel to stumble. 28:24 Ahaz gathered the items in God’s temple and removed them. He shut the doors of the Lord’s temple and erected altars on every street corner in Jerusalem. 28:25 In every city throughout Judah he set up high places to offer sacrifices to other gods. He angered the Lord God of his ancestors.

28:26 The rest of the events of Ahaz’s reign, including his accomplishments from start to finish, are recorded in the Scroll of the Kings of Judah and Israel. ¹⁰  28:27 Ahaz passed away ¹¹  and was buried in the City of David; ¹²  they did not bring him to the tombs of the kings of Israel. His son Hezekiah replaced him as king.
