2 Chronicles 28:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ for Ahaz took a portion from the house of Yahweh and the house of the king and the princes, and he gave it to the king of Assyria, but it was no help to him.

²² And in the time of his distress, King Ahaz continued to act unfaithfully against Yahweh. ²³ He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus that had defeated him and said, “Because the gods of the king of Aram^[a] helped them, I will sacrifice to them so that they will help me.” But they were a disaster^[b] to him and to all Israel.
