2 Chronicles 28:19-23

The LORD brought trouble on Judah because Ahaz their king led the people of Judah to sin, and he was unfaithful to the LORD. Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came to Ahaz, but he gave Ahaz trouble instead of help. Ahaz took some valuable things from the Temple of the LORD, from the palace, and from the princes, and he gave them to the king of Assyria, but it did not help. During Ahaz’s troubles he was even more unfaithful to the LORD. He offered sacrifices to the gods of the people of Damascus, who had defeated him. He thought, “The gods of the kings of Aram helped them. If I offer sacrifices to them, they will help me also.” But this brought ruin to Ahaz and all Israel.
