  ¹⁶At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.

  ¹⁷For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.

  ¹⁸The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo and its villages; and they lived there.

  ¹⁹For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, because he acted without restraint in Judah and trespassed severely against the LORD.
