2 Kings 16:6 CPDV

⁴  Also, he was immolating victims, and burning incense, in the high places, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.

⁵  Then Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, ascended to do battle against Jerusalem. And they besieged Ahaz, but they were not able to overcome him.

⁶  At that time, Rezin, the king of Syria, restored Elath to Syria, and he expelled the Judeans from Elath. And the Idumeans went into Elath, and they have lived there, even to this day.

⁷  Then Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser, the king of the Assyrians, saying: 'I am your servant, and I am your son. Ascend and accomplish my salvation from the hand of the king of Syria, and from the hand of the king of Israel, who have risen up together against me.'

⁸  And when he had collected the silver and the gold that could be found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king, he sent it as a gift to the king of the Assyrians.
