2 Kings 16:5-7
GOD’S WORD Translation
5 Then King Rezin of Aram and King Pekah, son of Remaliah of Israel, came to wage war against Jerusalem. They blockaded Ahaz but couldn’t get him to fight. 6 At that time King Rezin of Aram drove the Judeans out of Elath and gave it back to Edom.[a] The Edomites came to Elath and still live there today.
7 Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath Pileser of Assyria to say, “I’m your servant, your son. Come and save me from the kings of Aram and Israel who are attacking me.”
