3 But walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to [a]go through the fire, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
4 Also he offered and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 (A)Then Rezin King of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem, to fight: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome [b]him.
