2 Chronicles 28:16-21

16  a At that time King Ahaz sent to the king ▼
▼ Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate (compare 2 Kings 16:7); Hebrew kings
 of Assyria for help. 17 For the Edomites had again invaded and defeated Judah and carried away captives. 18  c And the Philistines had made raids on d the cities in the Shephelah and the Negeb of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco e with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages. And they settled there. 19 For the  Lord humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had made f Judah act sinfully ▼
▼ Or wildly
 and had been very unfaithful to the  Lord. 20 So h Tiglath-pileser ▼
▼ Hebrew Tilgath-pilneser
 king of Assyria came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him. 21  j For Ahaz took a portion from the house of the  Lord and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave tribute to the king of Assyria, but it did not help him.
