⁷ So Ahaz sent messengers^(A) to Tiglath-pileser^(B) king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. March up and save me from the power of the king of Aram and of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.” ⁸ Ahaz also took the silver and gold found in the Lord’s temple and in the treasuries of the king’s palace and sent them to the king of Assyria as a gift.^{(C) 9} So the king of Assyria listened to him^(D) and marched up to Damascus and captured it.^(E) He deported its people to Kir^(F) but put Rezin to death.
