2 Chronicles 28:20

Ahaz Asks The King Of Assyria For Help

¹⁹ For the Lord humbled Judah because of King Ahaz of Judah, who threw off restraint in Judah and was unfaithful to the Lord. ²⁰ Then Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came against Ahaz; he oppressed him and did not give him support. ²¹ Although Ahaz plundered the Lord’s temple and the palace of the king and of the rulers and gave the plunder to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.
