Come up: Save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are risen up against me. ⁸ And Achaz took the silver and the gold which was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord and the king's house, and sent gifts to the king. ⁹ Whereupon the king of the Assyrians hearkened to him and came up against Damascus and took it, and having removed the inhabitants thereof he put king Raasson to death.
