Twenty years old was
Ahaz when he began to
reign, and
reigned sixteen* years in

But he
walked in the
way of the
kings of
Israel, yea, and made his
son to pass
through the
fire, according to the
abominations of the

children of
Israel.

Then

Israel came
up to
Jerusalem to
war: and they
besieged Ahaz, but
could not
overcome him.

At that
time Rezin king of
Syria recovered Elath to
Syria*, and
drave the
Jews from
Elath: and the
Syrians came to
Elath, and
dwelt there unto this
day.
