2 CHRONICLES 28:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the Lord already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
Ahaz's continued apostasy — 'At that time King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria for help, for the Edomites and the Philistines had again invaded Judah and taken captive some of them' (בעת ההיא שׁלח המלך אחז אל מלכי אשׁור לעזור לו). After the Aramean and Israelite defeats, Ahaz turns to Assyria for assistance. The phrase 'At that time' (בעת ההיא) indicates his foreign policy shift follows the military disasters.
