⁶ At that time Rezin king of Aram ·took back [recovered] the city of Elath for Aram, and he forced out all the people of Judah. Then ·Edomites [Arameans] moved into Elath, and they still live there today.

⁷ Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your ·friend [vassal; ^Lson]. Come and ·save [rescue; ^Tdeliver] me from the hand of the king of Aram and the king of Israel, who are attacking me.” ⁸ Ahaz took the silver and gold that was in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord and in the treasuries of the ·palace [^Lking’s house], and he sent these as a gift to the king of Assyria.
