2 Chronicles 28:21-23

Revised Geneva Translation

²¹ For Ahaz took a portion out of the House of the LORD and out of the king’s house and of the princes’ and gave to the king of Assyria. Still, it did not help him.

²² And in the time of his tribulation, he trespassed even more against the LORD (this is King Ahaz).

²³ For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which plagued him, and he said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them. And they will help me.” Yet they were his ruin, and all of Israel.
