When Assyria too turned against Ahaz and “caused him distress, ” the king“ began to sacrifice to the gods of Damascus that were striking him, and he went on to say: ‘ Because the gods of the kings of Syria are helping them, to them I shall sacrifice, that they may help me. ’ ” ​ — 2 Chronicles 28: 20, 23.
آحاز از امتحان کردن یَهُوَه سر باز زد ،‏ لیکن از کمک طلبیدن از پادشاه آشور ابا ننمود .‏
