16:7 Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your dependent. ³  March up and rescue me from the power ⁴  of the king of Syria and the king of Israel, who have attacked ⁵  me.” 16:8 Then Ahaz took the silver and gold that were ⁶  in the Lord’s temple and in the treasuries of the royal palace and sent it as tribute ⁷  to the king of Assyria. 16:9 The king of Assyria responded favorably to his request; ⁸  he ⁹  attacked Damascus and captured it.
