2 Kings 16:9

And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried [the people of] it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.

And the king {H4428} of Assyria {H804} hearkened {H8085} unto him: for the king {H4428} of Assyria {H804} went up {H5927} against Damascus {H1834}, and took {H8610} it, and carried the people of it captive {H1540} to Kir {H7024}, and slew {H4191} Rezin {H7526}.

The king of Ashur heeded him- the king of Ashur attacked Dammesek and captured it; then he carried its people captive to Kir and killed Retzin.

So the king of Assyria responded to him, marched up to Damascus, and captured it. He took its people to Kir as captives and put Rezin to death.

And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.
