2 Chronicles 28:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible

3 He offered sacrifices in Ben-Hinnom Valley. He even caused his sons to walk through fire.[a] In this way he copied the terrible sins of the other nations in Canaan. Those were the nations that the Lord had chased out so that the Israelites could live there. 4 Ahaz offered sacrifices and he burned incense on altars on the hills, as well as under all the big trees.

God punishes King Ahaz

5 Because of this, the Lord his God put Ahaz under the power of the king of Syria. Syria's army won a battle against Ahaz's men. The king of Syria took many of Ahaz's people to Damascus as his prisoners.[b]

The Lord also allowed the king of Israel to attack Ahaz. Israel's soldiers completely won the battle against Ahaz.

Footnotes

  1. 28:3 The Ben-Hinnom Valley was to the south of Jerusalem. It was a place where Judah's people did disgusting things. ‘Walk through fire’ may mean that Ahaz burned his sons as a sacrifice to false gods.
  2. 28:5 Damascus was the capital city of Syria.
