2 Chronicles 28:22
“In the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against Yahweh, this same king Ahaz.”
Verse in context — 2 Chronicles 28
Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but didn't strengthen him.
For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Yahweh, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it didn't help him.
In the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against Yahweh, this same king Ahaz.
For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, "Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
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 Yahweh; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
