2 CHRONICLES 28:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For the Lord brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord.”
The altar of Damascus — 'For Ahaz took the pieces of the house of the LORD and the pieces of the king's house and of the officials, and gave them to the king of Assyria; but it did not help him' (כי לקח אחז את הכלים בית יהוה ויקץ את כלי בית יהוה וישׁלחם מהבית יהוה). Ahaz systematically dismantles temple furnishings and redistributes them as Assyrian tribute. The phrase 'but it did not help him' (וְלֹא־עָזַר לוֹ) emphasizes the futility of appeasement.
