2 Chronicles 28:22-24

Good News Translation

The Sins of Ahaz

²² When his troubles were at their worst, that man Ahaz sinned against the Lord more than ever. ²³ He offered sacrifices to the gods of the Syrians, who had defeated him. He said, “The Syrian gods helped the kings of Syria, so if I sacrifice to them, they may help me too.” This brought disaster on him and on his nation. ²⁴ In addition, he took all the Temple equipment and broke it in pieces. He closed the Temple and set up altars in every part of Jerusalem.
