2 Chronicles 28:22-24

Christian Standard Bible

²² At the time of his distress, King Ahaz himself became more unfaithful to the Lord. ²³ He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him; he said, “Since the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, I will sacrifice to them so that they will help me.”^(A) But they were the downfall of him and of all Israel.

²⁴ Then Ahaz gathered up the utensils of God’s temple, cut them into pieces,^(B) shut the doors of the Lord’s temple,^(C) and made himself altars on every street corner in Jerusalem.^(D)
