23 E sacrificò agl’iddii di Damasco che l’aveano sconfitto, e disse: Poichè gl’iddii dei re di Siria li aiutano, io sacrificherò loro, acciocchè aiutino ancora me. Ma quelli gli furono cagione di far traboccar lui e tutto Israele.
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.
