Ahaz Asks the King of Assyria for Help
(2 Kings 16.7-9)
16-18 Some time later, the Edomites attacked the eastern part of Judah again and carried away prisoners. And at the same time, the Philistines raided towns in the western foothills and in the Southern Desert. They conquered the towns of Beth-Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo, including the villages around them. Then some of the Philistines went to live in these places.
Ahaz sent a message to King Tiglath Pileser of Assyria and begged for help. 19 But God was punishing Judah with these disasters, because Ahaz had disobeyed him and refused to stop Judah from sinning.

17 The Edomites(A) had again come and attacked Judah and carried away prisoners,(B) 18 while the Philistines(C) had raided towns in the foothills and in the Negev of Judah. They captured and occupied Beth Shemesh, Aijalon(D) and Gederoth,(E) as well as Soko,(F) Timnah(G) and Gimzo, with their surrounding villages. 19 The Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel,[a] for he had promoted wickedness in Judah and had been most unfaithful(H) to the Lord.
