2 Chronicles 28:2

Ahaz Reigns in Judah

1 Ahaz ^awas twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord, as his father David had done.

2 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made ^amolded images for ^bthe Baals.

3 He burned incense in ^athe Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burned ^bhis children in the ^cfire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had ^dcast out before the children of Israel.

4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the¹ high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

Syria and Israel Defeat Judah

5 Therefore ^athe Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They ^bdefeated him, and carried away a great multitude of them as captives, and brought them to Damascus. Then he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who defeated him with a great slaughter.

6 For ^aPekah the son of Remaliah killed one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day, all valiant men, ^bbecause they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers.
