Ahaz Reigns over Judah

16 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, ^(A)Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, became king. ^2 (B)Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of Yahweh his God, as David his father had done. ³ But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, ^(C)and even made his son pass through the fire, ^(D)according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh had dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
