2 Chronicles 28:21-23
New International Reader's Version
21 Ahaz took some things from the Lord’s temple. He also took some from the royal palace and from the officials. He gave all of them to the king of Assyria. But that didn’t help Ahaz.
22 When King Ahaz was in trouble, he became even more unfaithful to the Lord. 23 Ahaz offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus. They had won the battle over him. Ahaz thought, “The gods of the kings of Aram have helped them. So I’ll sacrifice to those gods. Then they’ll help me.” But those gods only caused his ruin. In fact, those gods caused the ruin of the whole nation of Israel.

New International Version
21 Ahaz(A) took some of the things from the temple of the Lord and from the royal palace and from the officials and presented them to the king of Assyria, but that did not help him.(B)
22 In his time of trouble King Ahaz became even more unfaithful(C) to the Lord. 23 He offered sacrifices to the gods(D) of Damascus, who had defeated him; for he thought, “Since the gods of the kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them so they will help me.”(E) But they were his downfall and the downfall of all Israel.(F)
