2 Kings 16:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ Ahaz took the silver and the gold from the temple of the Lord and the treasury of the royal palace, and he sent it to the king of Assyria as a gift. ⁹ The king of Assyria consented to his request, and the king of Assyria attacked Damascus and captured it. He deported its people to Kir.

¹⁰ Then King Ahaz traveled to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser, the king of Assyria. He saw an altar in Damascus, and King Ahaz sent Uriah the priest to Damascus to make a drawing of the altar along with a complete description of its construction.
