*
Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war :
and they besieged Ahaz ,
but could not overcome him .
*
At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria ,
and drave the Jews from Elath :
and the Syrians came to Elath ,
and dwelt there unto this day .
*
So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria ,
saying ,
I am thy servant and thy son :
come up ,
and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria ,
and out of the hand of the king of Israel ,
which rise up against me .
*
And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD ,
and in the treasures of the king '
s house ,
and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria .
*
And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him :
for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus ,
and took it ,
and carried the people of it captive to Kir ,
and slew Rezin .
