2 Chronicles 28:21 Context
19For the Lord brought Iudah low, because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Iudah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord. 20And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria came vnto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. 21For Ahaz tooke away a portion out of the house of the Lord, and out of the house of the King, and of the Princes, and gaue it vnto the King of Assyria: but he helped him not. 22¶ And in the time of this distresse did hee trespasse yet more against the Lord: This is that king Ahaz. 23For he sacrificed vnto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria helpe them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may helpe me: but they were the ruine of him, and of all Israel.
