2 Kings 16:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ At that time the king of Edom^[a] recovered Elath for Edom,^[b] and drove the Judeans from Elath; and the Edomites came to Elath, where they live to this day. ⁷ Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up, and rescue me from the hand of the king of Aram and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.” ⁸ Ahaz also took the silver and gold found in the house of the Lord and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent a present to the king of Assyria.
