2 CHRONICLES 28:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Beth–shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there.”
Temple desecration — altar replacement — 'And the LORD humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had cast off restraint in Judah and had been faithless to the LORD. And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him' (ולמלך אשׁור הנחתיו ולא עזרהו). Despite paying tribute, Assyrian aid fails to materialize. The king 'afflicted him instead of strengthening him' (וַיִּצַּר לוֹ וְלֹא חִזְּקוֹ), indicating that Assyrian overlordship brings oppression.
