MKJV(i)
20 And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him and troubled him, but did not strengthen him.
21 For Ahaz took away a portion of the house of Jehovah, and of the house of the king, and of the rulers, and gave it to the king of Assyria. But it was no help to him.
22 And in the time of his distress he trespassed even more against Jehovah, this King Ahaz.
23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus who struck him. And he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them so that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
