The floods have [a]lifted up, O Lord,
The floods have lifted up their voice;
The floods lift up their waves.

Than the noise of many waters,
Than the mighty waves of the sea.

Assyria Refuses to Help Judah(A)

16 (B)At the same time King Ahaz sent to the [a]kings of Assyria to help him. 17 For again the (C)Edomites had come, attacked Judah, and carried away captives. 18 (D)The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Sochoh with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages; and they dwelt there. 19 For the Lord [b]brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of (E)Israel, for he had (F)encouraged moral decline in Judah and had been continually unfaithful to the Lord. 20 Also (G)Tiglath-Pileser[c] king of Assyria came to him and distressed him, and did not assist him. 21 For Ahaz took part of the treasures from the house of the Lord, from the house of the king, and from the leaders, and he gave it to the king of Assyria; but he did not help him.

So Ahaz sent messengers to (A)Tiglath-Pileser[a] king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.” And Ahaz (B)took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king’s house, and sent it as a present to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria heeded him; for the king of Assyria went up against (C)Damascus and (D)took it, carried its people captive to (E)Kir, and killed Rezin.
