2 Chronicles 28:19-21 - Ahaz Asks The King Of Assyria For Help
19 because the LORD was humiliating Judah because of King Ahaz of Israel, since Ahaz had brought about a lack of restraint within Judah and had remained unfaithful to the LORD. 20 King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria attacked Ahaz and, instead of helping him, attacked him. 21 Even though Ahaz took some of the assets belonging to the LORD's Temple from the royal palace, and from the palaces belonging to the princes, and gave them to the king of Assyria, none of his gifts did any good.
