2 Chronicles 28:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 He offered sacrifices in Ben-Hinnom Valley. He even caused his sons to walk through fire.[a] In this way he copied the terrible sins of the other nations in Canaan. Those were the nations that the Lord had chased out so that the Israelites could live there. 4 Ahaz offered sacrifices and he burned incense on altars on the hills, as well as under all the big trees.
God punishes King Ahaz
5 Because of this, the Lord his God put Ahaz under the power of the king of Syria. Syria's army won a battle against Ahaz's men. The king of Syria took many of Ahaz's people to Damascus as his prisoners.[b]
The Lord also allowed the king of Israel to attack Ahaz. Israel's soldiers completely won the battle against Ahaz.
