2 Chronicles 28:20

The Idolatry of Ahaz

19For the LORD humbled Judah because Ahaz king of Israel had thrown off restraint in Judah and had been most unfaithful to the LORD. 20Then Tiglath-pileser 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.
