2 Chronicles 28:23-25
Lexham English Bible
23 He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus that had defeated him and said, “Because the gods of the king of Aram[a] helped them, I will sacrifice to them so that they will help me.” But they were a disaster[b] to him and to all Israel. 24 Then Ahaz gathered the objects of the house of God, and he cut the objects of the house of God to pieces. And he shut the doors of the house of Yahweh and made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem. 25 And in every city[c] of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and he provoked Yahweh, the God of his ancestors,[d] to anger.

23 He offered sacrifices to the gods(A) of Damascus, who had defeated him; for he thought, “Since the gods of the kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them so they will help me.”(B) But they were his downfall and the downfall of all Israel.(C)
24 Ahaz gathered together the furnishings(D) from the temple of God(E) and cut them in pieces.
