Ahaz Appeals to Assyria for Help

2 Chronicles 28:16-21

At that time did King Ahaz sende vnto the Kings of Asshur, to helpe him.

(For the Edomites came moreouer, and slew of Iudah, and caryed away captiues.

The Philistims also inuaded the cities in the low countrey, and toward the South of Iudah, and tooke Bethshemesh, and Aialon, and Gederoth and Shocho, with the villages thereof, and Timnah, with her villages, and Gimzo, with her villages, and they dwelt there.

For the Lord had humbled Iudah, because of Ahaz King of Israel: for he had brought vengeance vpon Iudah, and had grieuously transgressed against the Lord)

And Tilgath Pilneeser king of Asshur came vnto him, who troubled him and did not strengthen him.

For Ahaz tooke a portion out of the house of the Lord and out of the Kings house and of the Princes, and gaue vnto the king of Asshur: yet it helped him not.
