2 Chronicles 28:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came to Ahaz, but he ·gave Ahaz trouble instead of help [oppressed him rather than helped him]. ²¹ Ahaz ·took some valuable things from [plundered] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord, from the ·palace [^Lhouse], and from the ·princes [officials], and he gave them to the king of Assyria, but it did not help.

²² During Ahaz’s ·troubles [^Ltime of distress] he was even more unfaithful to the Lord.
