2 Chronicles 28:22-24

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²² In the time of his distress he became still more unfaithful to the Lord—this same King Ahaz.

²³ For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which had defeated him, for he said, Since the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.

²⁴ And Ahaz collected the utensils of the house of God and cut them in pieces; and he shut up the doors of the Lord’s temple [the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies] and made himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
