22
At the time of his distress, King Ahaz himself became more unfaithful to the Lord.
2 Chronicles 28:22 In-Context
20
Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came to him, but he gave him trouble instead of help.
21
Ahaz took some of the things from the temple of the LORD and from the royal palace and from the officials and presented them to the king of Assyria, but that did not help him.
22
In his time of trouble King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the LORD.
23
He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus, who had defeated him; for he thought, “Since the gods of the kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them so they will help me.” But they were his downfall and the downfall of all Israel.
24
Ahaz gathered together the furnishings from the temple of God and cut them in pieces. He shut the doors of the LORD’s temple and set up altars at every street corner in Jerusalem.
