*
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign ,
and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem .
And he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD ,
like his father David ,
*
but walked in the ways of the kings of Israel .
He even made molten images for the Ba '
als ;
*
and he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom ,
and burned his sons as an offering ,
according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel .
*
And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places ,
and on the hills ,
and under every green tree .
*
Therefore the LORD his God gave him into the hand of the king of Syria ,
who defeated him and took captive a great number of his people and brought them to Damascus .
He was also given into the hand of the king of Israel ,
who defeated him with great slaughter .
*
For Pekah the son of Remali '
ah slew a hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day ,
all of them men of valor ,
because they had forsaken the LORD ,
the God of their fathers .
*
And Zichri ,
a mighty man of E '
phraim ,
slew Ma-asei '
ah the king '
s son and Azri '
kam the commander of the palace and Elka '
nah the next in authority to the king .

The men of Israel took captive two hundred thousand of their kinsfolk ,
women ,
sons ,
and daughters ;
they also took much spoil from them and brought the spoil to Sama '
ria .
