2 Kings 16:7

16:7 Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your dependent. ¹  March up and rescue me from the power ²  of the king of Syria and the king of Israel, who have attacked ³  me.”

Micah 5:11

5:11 I will destroy the cities of your land,

and tear down all your fortresses.

[16:7]  ¹ tn Heb “son.” Both terms (“servant” and “son”) reflect Ahaz’s subordinate position as Tiglath-pileser’s subject.

[16:7]  ² tn Heb “hand, palm.”

[16:7]  ³ tn Heb “who have arisen against.”
