2 Kings 16:6-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
6 At that time[a] the king of Edom[b] recovered Elath for Edom,[c] and drove the men of Judah from Elath; and the E′domites came to Elath, where they dwell to this day. 7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tig′lath-pile′ser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up, and rescue me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.” 8 Ahaz also took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the Lord and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent a present to the king of Assyria.
