כִּֽי־חָלַק אָחָז אֶת־בֵּית יְהוָה וְאֶת־בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַשָּׂרִים וַיִּתֵּן לְמֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וְלֹא לְעֶזְרָה לֽוֹ
For Ahaz stripped the house of the LORD, and the house of the king and the princes, and gave thereof unto the king of Assyria; but it helped him not.
וּבְעֵת הָצֵר לוֹ וַיּוֹסֶף לִמְעוֹל בַּיהוָה הוּא הַמֶּלֶךְ אָחָֽז
And in the time of his distress did he act even more treacherously against the LORD, this same king Ahaz.
וַיִּזְבַּח לֵֽאלֹהֵי דַרְמֶשֶׂק הַמַּכִּים בּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר כִּי אֱלֹהֵי מַלְכֵֽי־אֲרָם הֵם מַעְזְרִים אוֹתָם לָהֶם אֲזַבֵּחַ וְיַעְזְרוּנִי וְהֵם הָֽיוּ־לוֹ לְהַכְשִׁילוֹ וּלְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him; and he said: ‘Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me.’ But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
וַיֶּאֱסֹף אָחָז אֶת־כְּלֵי בֵית־הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיְקַצֵּץ אֶת־כְּלֵי בֵית־הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיִּסְגֹּר אֶת־דַּלְתוֹת בֵּית־יְהוָה וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ מִזְבְּחוֹת בְּכָל־פִּנָּה בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם
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.
וּבְכָל־עִיר וָעִיר לִֽיהוּדָה עָשָׂה בָמוֹת לְקַטֵּר לֵֽאלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וַיַּכְעֵס אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָֽיו
And in every city of Judah he made high places to offer unto other gods, and provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers.
