2 Chronicles 28:16-19

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ At that time King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him.

¹⁷ For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah and carried away captives.

¹⁸ The Philistines had invaded the cities of the low country and of the South (the Negeb) of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, and Soco, and also Timnah and Gimzo, with their villages, and they settled there.

¹⁹ For the Lord brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, for Ahaz had dealt with reckless cruelty against Judah and had been faithless [had transgressed sorely] against the Lord.
