28:1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign , and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem . He did not do what pleased the Lord , in contrast to his ancestor David .
28:2 He followed in the footsteps of the kings of Israel ; he also made images of the Baals .
28:3 He offered sacrifices in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom and passed his sons through the fire , a horrible sin practiced by the nations whom the Lord drove out before the Israelites .
28:4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places , on the hills , and under every green tree .
28:5 The Lord his God handed him over to the king of Syria . The Syrians defeated him and deported many captives to Damascus . He was also handed over to the king of Israel , who thoroughly defeated him.
28:6 In one day King Pekah son of Remaliah of Israel killed 120,000 warriors in Judah , because they had abandoned the Lord God of their ancestors .
