2 Chronicles 28:2

The Reign Of Ahaz

¹ Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father: ² But he went in the ways of the kings of Israel and made images of metal for the Baals. ³ More than this, he had offerings burned in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and made his children go through fire, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.
