2 Chronicles 28:22-27 - Ahaz's Idolatry

22 When he had this trouble, King Ahaz became more unfaithful to Jehovah! 23 He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus. These were the gods who had defeated him. He thought: The gods of the kings of Aram are helping them. I will sacrifice to them so that they will help me. But they ruined him and all Israel.

24 Ahaz collected the utensils in God's Temple. He cut them up and closed the doors to Jehovah's Temple. He made altars for himself on every corner in Jerusalem. 25 And in each city of Judah, he made places of worship to sacrifice to other gods. He angered Jehovah the God of his ancestors.

26 Everything else about him from beginning to end is written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 27 Ahaz slept in death with his ancestors. He was buried in the city of Jerusalem because they did not put him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.
