MLV(i)
20 And Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came to him and distressed him, but did not strengthen him.
21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Jehovah and out of the house of the king and of the rulers and gave it to the king of Assyria, but it did not help him.
22 And in the time of his distress he trespassed yet more against Jehovah, this same king Ahaz. 23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which killed* him. And he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, therefore I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
