    21Ahaz gathered riches from the LORD’s temple, the royal palace, and the officials and gave them to the king of Assyria, but that did not help.

    22During his time of trouble King Ahaz was even more unfaithful to the LORD.

    23He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus whom he thought had defeated him. He reasoned,“Since the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them so they will help me.” But they caused him and all Israel to stumble.

    24Ahaz gathered the items in God’s temple and removed them. He shut the doors of the LORD’s temple and erected altars on every street corner in Jerusalem.

    25In every city throughout Judah he set up high places to offer sacrifices to other gods. He angered the LORD God of his ancestors.

    26The rest of the events of Ahaz’s reign, including his accomplishments from start to finish, are recorded in the Scroll of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

    27Ahaz passed away and was buried in the city of Jerusalem; they did not bring him to the tombs of the kings of Israel. His son Hezekiah replaced him as king.
