Chapter 28
Ahaz
was
twenty
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
sixteen
years
in
Jerusalem:
but
he
did
not
that
which
was
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
like
David
his
father:
2
For
he
walked
in
the
ways
of
the
kings
of
Israel,
and
made
also
molten
images
for
Baalim.
3
Moreover
he
burnt
incense
in
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
and
burnt
his
children
in
the
fire,
after
the
abominations
of
the
heathen
whom
the
Lord
had
cast
out
before
the
children
of
Israel.
4
He
sacrificed
also
and
burnt
incense
in
the
high
places,
and
on
the
hills,
and
under
every
green
tree.
5
Wherefore
the
Lord
his
God
delivered
him
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Syria;
and
they
smote
him,
and
carried
away
a
great
multitude
of
them
captives,
and
brought
them
to
Damascus.
And
he
was
also
delivered
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Israel,
who
smote
him
with
a
great
slaughter.
6
For
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah
slew
in
Judah
an
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
in
one
day,
which
were
all
valiant
men;
because
they
had
forsaken
the
Lord
God
of
their
fathers.
7
And
Zichri,
a
mighty
man
of
Ephraim,
slew
Maaseiah
the
king’s
son,
and
Azrikam
the
governor
of
the
house,
and
Elkanah
that
was
next
to
the
king.
8
And
the
children
of
Israel
carried
away
captive
of
their
brethren
two
hundred
thousand,
women,
sons,
and
daughters,
and
took
also
away
much
spoil
from
them,
and
brought
the
spoil
to
Samaria.
9
But
a
prophet
of
the
Lord
was
there,
whose
name
was
Oded:
and
he
went
out
before
the
host
that
came
to
Samaria,
and
said
unto
them,
Behold,
because
the
Lord
God
of
your
fathers
was
wroth
with
Judah,
he
hath
delivered
them
into
your
hand,
and
ye
have
slain
them
in
a
rage
that
reacheth
up
unto
heaven.
10
And
now
ye
purpose
to
keep
under
the
children
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem
for
bondmen
and
bondwomen
unto
you:
but
are
there
not
with
you,
even
with
you,
sins
against
the
Lord
your
God?
11
Now
hear
me
therefore,
and
deliver
the
captives
again,
which
ye
have
taken
captive
of
your
brethren:
for
the
fierce
wrath
of
the
Lord
is
upon
you.
12
Then
certain
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
them
that
came
from
the
war,
13
And
said
unto
them,
Ye
shall
not
bring
in
the
captives
hither:
for
whereas
we
have
offended
against
the
Lord
already,
ye
intend
to
add
more
to
our
sins
and
to
our
trespass:
for
our
trespass
is
great,
and
there
is
fierce
wrath
against
Israel.
14
So
the
armed
men
left
the
captives
and
the
spoil
before
the
princes
and
all
the
congregation.
15
And
the
men
which
were
expressed
by
name
rose
up,
and
took
the
captives,
and
with
the
spoil
clothed
all
that
were
naked
among
them,
and
arrayed
them,
and
shod
them,
and
gave
them
to
eat
and
to
drink,
and
anointed
them,
and
carried
all
the
feeble
of
them
upon
asses,
and
brought
them
to
Jericho,
the
city
of
palm
trees,
to
their
brethren:
then
they
returned
to
Samaria.
16
At
that
time
did
king
Ahaz
send
unto
the
kings
of
Assyria
to
help
him.
17
For
again
the
Edomites
had
come
and
smitten
Judah,
and
carried
away
captives.
18
The
Philistines
also
had
invaded
the
cities
of
the
low
country,
and
of
the
south
of
Judah,
and
had
taken
Beth-shemesh,
and
Ajalon,
and
Gederoth,
and
Shocho
with
the
villages
thereof,
and
Timnah
with
the
villages
thereof,
Gimzo
also
and
the
villages
thereof:
and
they
dwelt
there.
19
For
the
Lord
brought
Judah
low
because
of
Ahaz
king
of
Israel;
for
he
made
Judah
naked,
and
transgressed
sore
against
the
Lord.
20
And
Tilgath-pilneser
king
of
Assyria
came
unto
him,
and
distressed
him,
but
strengthened
him
not.
21
For
Ahaz
took
away
a
portion
out
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
out
of
the
house
of
the
king,
and
of
the
princes,
and
gave
it
unto
the
king
of
Assyria:
but
he
helped
him
not.
22
And
in
the
time
of
his
distress
did
he
trespass
yet
more
against
the
Lord:
this
is
that
king
Ahaz.
23
For
he
sacrificed
unto
the
gods
of
Damascus,
which
smote
him:
and
he
said,
Because
the
gods
of
the
kings
of
Syria
help
them,
therefore
will
I
sacrifice
to
them,
that
they
may
help
me.
But
they
were
the
ruin
of
him,
and
of
all
Israel.
24
And
Ahaz
gathered
together
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
God,
and
cut
in
pieces
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
God,
and
shut
up
the
doors
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
he
made
him
altars
in
every
corner
of
Jerusalem.
25
And
in
every
several
city
of
Judah
he
made
high
places
to
burn
incense
unto
other
gods,
and
provoked
to
anger
the
Lord
God
of
his
fathers.
26
Now
the
rest
of
his
acts
and
of
all
his
ways,
first
and
last,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
book
of
the
kings
of
Judah
and
Israel.
27
And
Ahaz
slept
with
his
fathers,
and
they
buried
him
in
the
city,
even
in
Jerusalem:
but
they
brought
him
not
into
the
sepulchres
of
the
kings
of
Israel:
and
Hezekiah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
