web @2Chronicles:28:1 @Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign ; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem : and he didn 't do that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh , like David his father ; web @2Chronicles:28:2 @but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel , and made also molten images for the Baals . web @2Chronicles:28:3 @Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom , and burnt his children in the fire , according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel . web @2Chronicles:28:4 @He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places , and on the hills , and under every green tree . web @2Chronicles:28:5 @Therefore Yahweh his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria ; and they struck him , and carried away of his a great multitude of captives , and brought them to Damascus . He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel , who struck him with a great slaughter . web @2Chronicles:28:6 @For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day , all of them valiant men ; because they had forsaken Yahweh , the God of their fathers . web @2Chronicles:28:7 @Zichri , a mighty man of Ephraim , killed Maaseiah the king 's son , and Azrikam the ruler of the house , and Elkanah who was next to the king . web @2Chronicles:28:8 @The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand , women , sons , and daughters , and took also away much spoil from them , and brought the spoil to Samaria . web @2Chronicles:28:9 @But a prophet of Yahweh was there , whose name was Oded : and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria , and said to them , "Behold , because Yahweh , the God of your fathers , was angry with Judah , he has delivered them into your hand , and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven . web @2Chronicles:28:10 @Now you purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondservants and bondmaids for yourselves . Aren 't there even with you trespasses of your own against Yahweh your God ? web @2Chronicles:28:11 @Now hear me therefore , and send back the captives , that you have taken captive from your brothers ; for the fierce wrath of Yahweh is on you ." web @2Chronicles:28:12 @Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim , Azariah the son of Johanan , Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth , and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum , and Amasa the son of Hadlai , stood up against those who came from the war , web @2Chronicles:28:13 @and said to them , "You shall not bring in the captives here : for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against Yahweh , to add to our sins and to our trespass ; for our trespass is great , and there is fierce wrath against Israel ." web @2Chronicles:28:14 @So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the assembly . web @2Chronicles:28:15 @The men who have been mentioned by name rose up , and took the captives , and with the spoil clothed all who were naked among them , dressed them , gave them sandals , and gave them something to eat and to drink , anointed them , carried all the feeble of them on donkeys , and brought them to Jericho , the city of palm trees , to their brothers . Then they returned to Samaria . web @2Chronicles:28:16 @At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him . web @2Chronicles:28:17 @For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah , and carried away captives . web @2Chronicles:28:18 @The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland , and of the South of Judah , and had taken Beth Shemesh , and Aijalon , and Gederoth , and Soco with its towns , and Timnah with its towns , Gimzo also and its towns : and they lived there . web @2Chronicles:28:19 @For Yahweh brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel ; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah , and trespassed severely against Yahweh . web @2Chronicles:28:20 @Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him , and distressed him , but didn 't strengthen him . web @2Chronicles:28:21 @For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Yahweh , and out of the house of the king and of the princes , and gave it to the king of Assyria : but it didn 't help him . web @2Chronicles:28:22 @In the time of his distress , he trespassed yet more against Yahweh , this same king Ahaz . web @2Chronicles:28:23 @For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus , which struck him ; and he said , "Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them , so I will sacrifice to them , that they may help me ." But they were the ruin of him , and of all Israel . web @2Chronicles:28:24 @Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God 's house , and cut in pieces the vessels of God 's house , and shut up the doors of the house of Yahweh ; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem . web @2Chronicles:28:25 @In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods , and provoked to anger Yahweh , the God of his fathers . web @2Chronicles:28:26 @Now the rest of his acts , and all his ways , first and last , behold , they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel . web @2Chronicles:28:27 @Ahaz slept with his fathers , and they buried him in the city , even in Jerusalem ; for they didn 't bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel : and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place .
