The Philistines
H6584 [H8804]
also had invaded
H5892
the cities
H8219
of the low country,
H5045
and of the south
H3063
of Judah,
H3920 [H8799]
and had taken
H1053
Bethshemesh,
H357
and Ajalon,
H1450
and Gederoth,
H7755
and Shocho
H1323
with its villages,
H8553
and Timnah
H1323
with its villages,
H1579
Gimzo
H1323
also and its villages:
H3427 [H8799]
and they dwelt there.
19
H3068
For the LORD
H3665 0
brought
H3063
Judah
H3665 [H8689]
low
H271
because of Ahaz
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel;
H6544 0
for he made
H3063
Judah
H6544 [H8689]
naked,
H4604
and treacherously
H4603 [H8800]
transgressed
H3068
against the LORD.
20
H8407
And Tilgathpilneser
H4428
king
H804
of Assyria
H935 [H8799]
came
H6696 [H8799]
to him, and distressed
H2388 [H8804]
him, but strengthened him not.
21
H271
For Ahaz
H2505 [H8804]
took away a portion
H1004
from the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H1004
and from the house
H4428
of the king,
H8269
and of the princes,
H5414 [H8799]
and gave
H4428
it to the king
H804
of Assyria:
H5833
but he helped him not.
22
H6256
And in the time
H6887 [H8687]
of his distress
H4603 [H8800]
he trespassed
H3254 [H8686]
yet more
H3068
against the LORD:
H4428
this is that king
H271
Ahaz.
23
H2076 [H8799]
For he sacrificed
H430
to the gods
H1834
of Damascus,
H5221 [H8688]
which smote
H559 [H8799]
him: and he said,
H430
Because the gods
H4428
of the kings
H758
of Syria
H5826 [H8688]
help
H2076 [H8762]
them, therefore will I sacrifice
H5826 [H8799]
to them, that they may help
H3782 [H8687]
me. But they were the ruin
H3478
of him, and of all Israel.
