Ahaz Reigns in Judah
28 (A)Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David had done, 2 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. He even made (B)metal images for (C)the Baals, 3 and (D)he made offerings in the (E)Valley of the Son of Hinnom and (F)burned his sons as an offering,[a] according to (G)the abominations of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel. 4 And he sacrificed and (H)made offerings on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.

Ahaz King of Judah(A)
28 Ahaz(B) was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord. 2 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel and also made idols(C) for worshiping the Baals. 3 He burned sacrifices in the Valley of Ben Hinnom(D) and sacrificed his children(E) in the fire, engaging in the detestable(F) practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. 4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree.
