2 Chronicles 28:16-21
1599 Geneva Bible
16 ¶ At that time did King Ahaz send unto the [a]kings of Assyria to help him.
17 (For the Edomites came moreover, and slew of Judah, and carried away captives.
18 The Philistines also invaded the cities in the low country, and toward the South of Judah, and took Beth Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth and Sochoh, with the villages thereof, and Timnah, with her villages, and Gimzo, with her villages, and they dwelt there.
19 For the Lord had humbled Judah, because of Ahaz king of [b]Israel: for he had brought vengeance upon Judah, and had grievously transgressed against the Lord.)
20 And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, who troubled him and did not strengthen him.
21 For Ahaz [c]took a portion (A)out of the house of the Lord and out of the king’s house and of the princes’, and gave unto the king of Assyria: yet it helped him not.
