Ahaz Appeals to Assyria for Help

2 Chronicles 28:16-21

At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.

For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.

The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with its towns, and Timnah with its towns, Gimzo also and its towns: and they lived there.

For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed severely against the LORD.

Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but didn’t strengthen him.

For Ahaz took away a portion out of the LORD’s house, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it didn’t help him.
