LEB(i)
16 At that time King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him,
17 since again the Edomites came and struck against Judah and took captives.
18 And the Philistines sent raids into the cities of the Shephelah and the Negeb of Judah. And they captured Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Socoh with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages. And they settled there.
19 For Yahweh subdued Judah for the sake of Ahaz, king of Israel, for he created disorder in Judah and acted unfaithfully against Yahweh.
20 Then Tiglath-Pileser* the king of Assyria came against him and brought trouble for him, ⌊instead of helping him⌋,*
21 for Ahaz took a portion from the house of Yahweh and the house of the king and the princes, and he gave it to the king of Assyria, but it was no help to him.
22 And in the time of his distress, King Ahaz continued to act unfaithfully against Yahweh.
