2 Chronicles 28:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 For Ahaz [a]took a portion (A)out of the house of the Lord and out of the king’s house and of the princes’, and gave unto the king of Assyria: yet it helped him not.
22 And in the time of his tribulation did he yet trespass more against the Lord, (this is king Ahaz)
23 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which [b]plagued him, and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice unto them, and they will [c]help me: yet they were his ruin, and of all [d]Israel.
