2 Kings 16

2 Kings 16

Ahaz, King of Judah, rejects the righteous example of his father and instead follows the wicked ways of the kings of Israel, even sacrificing his own son in fire to pagan gods. When Rezin of Aram and Pekah of Israel attack Judah, Ahaz, ignoring the prophet Isaiah, foolishly appeals to Tiglath-Pileser III, King of Assyria, for help. Assyria attacks Aram and kills Rezin. Ahaz then travels to Damascus to meet the Assyrian king, where he sees a pagan altar. Ahaz sends the design back to Jerusalem, ordering a copy be built in the Temple courtyard, showing severe apostasy.
