Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father: 1Ch 3:13Isa 1:12Ch 17:32Ki 16:1-20Hos 1:1Isa 7:1-12Mat 1:9Mic 1:1 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim. Exo 34:17Jdg 2:111Ki 16:31-332Ch 21:62Ch 22:3-42Ki 10:26-28Hos 2:13Hos 2:17 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. 1 2Ch 33:22Ch 33:6Lev 18:212Ki 23:10Jos 15:82Ki 16:3Deu 12:31Deu 18:9 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 2Ki 16:4Deu 12:2-3Lev 26:30 Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter. 2 Isa 7:12Ch 24:242Ki 16:5-62Ch 33:112Ch 36:172Ch 36:5Exo 20:2-3Jdg 2:14
¶ For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. 3 Jer 15:6Isa 1:28Jer 2:192Ki 15:27Jos 24:20Isa 9:212Ch 13:172Ch 15:2 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king. 4 Est 10:3Gen 41:43Gen 43:12Gen 43:15 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. 2Ch 11:4Deu 28:25Deu 28:41Act 13:26Act 7:26 But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven. Ezr 9:6Isa 47:6Rev 18:5Zec 1:151Ki 20:131Ki 20:221Ki 20:422Ch 19:1-2 And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God? Lev 25:39-461Pe 4:17-18Jer 25:29Mat 7:2-4Rom 12:20-21 Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you. Jas 2:132Ch 28:8Ezr 10:14Heb 13:1-3Isa 58:6Jer 34:14-15Mat 5:7Mat 7:2 Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war, 1Ch 28:1Jer 26:6 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. Jos 22:17-18Mat 23:32Mat 23:35Num 32:14Rom 2:5 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation. And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.

¶ At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him. 2Ki 16:5-7Isa 7:17Isa 7:1-9 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives. 5 Oba 1:102Ch 25:11-12Lev 26:18Oba 1:13-14 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. Ezk 16:57Ezk 16:271Sa 6:92Ch 11:10Jdg 14:1Jos 15:10Jos 15:41Jos 15:48 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD. 2Ch 21:2Job 40:121Sa 2:7Deu 28:43Exo 32:25Gen 3:11Gen 3:7Hos 5:11 And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. 2Ki 15:291Ch 5:26Isa 30:162Ki 16:7-102Ki 17:5Hos 5:13Isa 30:3Isa 7:20 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not. 2Ch 12:92Ki 16:8-92Ki 18:15-16Pro 20:25
¶ And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz. Ezk 21:13Isa 1:5Jer 5:32Ch 33:12Est 7:6Hos 5:15Psa 50:15Psa 52:7 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. 6 2Ch 25:142Ki 16:12-13Hab 1:11Hos 13:9Isa 1:28Jer 10:5Jer 44:15-18Jer 44:20-28 And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem. 2Ch 29:72Ch 30:142Ch 33:3-52Ki 16:17-182Ch 29:32Ki 25:13-17Act 17:16Act 17:23 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers. 7 2Ch 28:3
¶ Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 2Ki 16:19-202Ch 20:342Ch 27:7-9 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. 2Ch 21:202Ch 24:251Sa 2:302Ch 26:232Ch 33:20Pro 10:7Isa 14:28
