16 At that time, sent King Ahaz unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
17 For again had, the Edomites, come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives;
18 and, the Philistines, had spread themselves out against the cities of the lowland and of the south, pertaining to Judah, and had captured Beth–shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth, and Soco with its villages, and Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo, with its villages,––and dwelt there.
19 For Yahweh had brought Judah low, because of Ahaz king of Israel,––for he had given the rein in Judah, and, been grievously unfaithful, with Yahweh.
20 And Tilgath–pilneser king of Assyria, came against him,––and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Yahweh, and out of the house of the king, and the rulers,––and gave unto the king of Assyria, but he helped him not.
22 And, in the time of his distress, he yet further acted unfaithfully with Yahweh,––he, King Ahaz!
