2 Chronicles 28 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not do that which was right in the sight of the Lord, like David his father:

1 H271 Ahaz H6242 was twenty H8141 years H1121 old H4427 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H8337 sixteen H8141 years H3389 in Jerusalem: H6213 but he did H3477 not do that which was right H5869 in the sight H3068 of the Lord, H1732 like David H1 his father:

2 H3212 For he walked in H1870 the ways H4428 of the kings H3478 of Israel, H6213 and made H4541 also molten images H1168 for Baalim.

3 H6999 Moreover he burnt incense H1516 in the valley H1121 of the son H2011 of Hinnom, H1197 and burnt H1121 his sons H784 in the fire, H8441 after the abominations H1471 of the heathen H3068 whom the Lord H3423 had cast out H6440 before H1121 the sons H3478 of Israel.

4 H2076 He sacrificed H6999 also and burnt incense H1116 in the high places, H1389 and on the hills, H7488 and under every green H6086 tree.

5 H3068 Therefore the Lord H430 his God H5414 delivered H3027 him into the hand H4428 of the king H758 of Syria; H5221 and they struck H7617 him, and carried away H1419 a great multitude H7633 of them captives, H935 and brought H1834 them to Damascus. H5414 And he was also delivered H3027 into the hand H4428 of the king H3478 of Israel, H5221 who struck H1419 him with a great H4347 slaughter.

6 H6492 For Pekah H1121 the son H7425 of Remaliah H2026 killed H3063 in Judah H3967 an hundred H6242 and twenty H505 thousand H259 in one H3117 day, H2428 which were all valiant H1121 men; H5800 because they had forsaken H3068 the Lord H430 God H1 of their fathers.

7 H2147 And Zichri, H1368 a mighty man H669 of Ephraim, H2026 killed H4641 Maaseiah H4428 the king's H1121 son, H5840 and Azrikam H5057 the governor H1004 of the house, H511 and Elkanah H4932 that was next H4428 to the king.

8 H1121 And the sons H3478 of Israel H7617 carried away captive H251 of their brothers H3967 two hundred H505 thousand, H802 women, H1121 sons, H1323 and daughters, H962 and took also away H7227 much H7998 plunder H935 from them, and brought H7998 the plunder H8111 to Samaria.

9 H5030 But a prophet H3068 of the Lord H8034 was there, whose name H5752 was Oded: H3318 and he went out H6440 before H6635 the army H935 that came H8111 to Samaria, H559 and said H3068 unto them, Behold, because the Lord H430 God H1 of your fathers H2534 was angry H3063 with Judah, H5414 he has delivered H3027 them into your hand, H2026 and you have slain H2197 them in a rage H5060 that reaches up H8064 unto heaven.

10 H559 And now you purpose H3533 to keep under H1121 the sons H3063 of Judah H3389 and Jerusalem H5650 for bondmen H8198 and bondwomen H7535 unto you: but are there not with you, even H819 with you, sins H3068 against the Lord H430 your God?

11 H8085 Now hear H7725 me therefore, and deliver H7633 the captives H7617 again, which you have taken captive H251 of your brothers: H2740 for the fierce H639 wrath H3068 of the Lord is upon you.

12 H582 Then certain H7218 of the heads H1121 of the sons H669 of Ephraim, H5838 Azariah H1121 the son H3076 of Johanan, H1296 Berechiah H1121 the son H4919 of Meshillemoth, H3169 and Jehizkiah H1121 the son H7967 of Shallum, H6021 and Amasa H1121 the son H2311 of Hadlai, H6965 stood up H935 against them that came H6635 from the war,

13 H559 And said H935 unto them, You shall not bring in H7633 the captives H819 here: for whereas we have offended H3068 against the Lord H559 already, you intend H3254 to add H2403 more to our sins H819 and to our trespass: H819 for our trespass H7227 is great, H2740 and there is fierce H639 wrath H3478 against Israel.

14 H2502 So the armed men H5800 left H7633 the captives H961 and the plunder H6440 before H8269 the princes H6951 and all the congregation.

15 H582 And the men H5344 which were expressed H8034 by name H6965 rose up, H2388 and took H7633 the captives, H7998 and with the plunder H3847 clothed H4636 all that were naked H3847 among them, and arrayed H5274 them, and put shoes on H398 them, and gave them to eat H8248 and to drink, H5480 and anointed H5095 them, and carried H3782 all the feeble H2543 of them upon donkeys, H935 and brought H3405 them to Jericho, H5892 the city H8558 of palm trees, H681 to H251 their brothers: H7725 then they returned H8111 to Samaria.

16 H6256 At that time H4428 did king H271 Ahaz H7971 send H4428 unto the kings H804 of Assyria H5826 to help him.

17 H130 For again the Edomites H935 had come H5221 and struck H3063 Judah, H7617 and carried away H7628 captives.

18 H6430 The Philistines H6584 also had invaded H5892 the cities H8219 of the low country, H5045 and of the south H3063 of Judah, H3920 and had taken H1053 Beth–shemesh, H357 and Ajalon, H1450 and Gederoth, H7755 and Shocho H1323 with the villages H8553 there, and Timnah H1323 with the villages H1579 there, Gimzo H1323 also and the villages H3427 there: and they lived there.

19 H3068 For the Lord H3665 brought H3063 Judah H3665 low H271 because of Ahaz H4428 king H3478 of Israel; H6544 for he made H3063 Judah H6544 naked, H4603 and transgressed H4604 severely H3068 against the Lord.

20 H8407 And Tilgath–pilneser H4428 king H804 of Assyria H935 came H6696 unto him, and distressed H2388 him, but strengthened him not.

21 H271 For Ahaz H2505 took away a portion H1004 out of the house H3068 of the Lord, H1004 and out of the house H4428 of the king, H8269 and of the princes, H5414 and gave H4428 it unto the king H804 of Assyria: H5833 but he helped him not.

22 H6256 And in the time H6887 of his distress H4603 did he trespass H3254 yet more H3068 against the Lord: H4428 this is that king H271 Ahaz.

23 H2076 For he sacrificed H430 unto the gods H1834 of Damascus, H5221 which struck H559 him: and he said, H430 Because the gods H4428 of the kings H758 of Syria H5826 help H2076 them, therefore will I sacrifice H5826 to them, that they may help H3782 me. But they were the ruin H3478 of him, and of all Israel.

24 H271 And Ahaz H622 gathered together H3627 the vessels H1004 of the house H430 of God, H7112 and cut in pieces H3627 the vessels H1004 of the house H430 of God, H5462 and shut up H1817 the doors H1004 of the house H3068 of the Lord, H6213 and he made H4196 him altars H6438 in every corner H3389 of Jerusalem.

25 H5892 And in every several city H3063 of Judah H6213 he made H1116 high places H6999 to burn incense H312 unto other H430 gods, H3707 and provoked to anger H3068 the Lord H430 God H1 of his fathers.

26 H3499 Now the rest H1697 of his acts H1870 and of all his ways, H7223 first H314 and last, H3789 behold, they are written H5612 in the book H4428 of the kings H3063 of Judah H3478 and Israel.

27 H271 And Ahaz H7901 slept H1 with his fathers, H6912 and they buried H5892 him in the city, H3389 even in Jerusalem: H935 but they brought H6913 him not into the tombs H4428 of the kings H3478 of Israel: H3169 and Hezekiah H1121 his son H4427 reigned in his place.
