2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 28:19–21

19For the LORD humbled Judah because Ahaz king of Israelf had thrown off restraint in Judah and had been most unfaithful to the LORD.

20Then Tiglath-pileserg king of Assyria came to Ahaz but afflicted him rather than strengthening him. 21Although Ahaz had taken a portion from the house of the LORD, from the royal palace, and from the princes and had presented it to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.
