2 Chronicles 28:23

Compare all

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.

Apostasy and Death of Ahaz

22 Now in the time of his distress King Ahaz became increasingly unfaithful to the Lord. This is that King Ahaz.

23 For ^ahe sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, saying, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them ^bthat they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.

24 So Ahaz gathered the articles of the house of God, cut in pieces the articles of the house of God, ^ashut up the doors of the house of the Lord, and made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

25 And in every single city of Judah he made¹ high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers.

26 ^aNow the rest of his acts and all his ways, from first to last, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

27 So Ahaz rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they ^adid not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. Then Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
