2 Chronicles 28:23

---

← 2 Chronicles 28:22	2 Chronicles 28:23 (KJV)	2 Chronicles 28:24 →
And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this [is that] king Ahaz.	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.	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.
