2 Chronicles 28:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible
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.[a]
The Lord also allowed the king of Israel to attack Ahaz. Israel's soldiers completely won the battle against Ahaz. 6 In one day, King Pekah of Israel, Remaliah's son, killed 120,000 of Judah's best soldiers. God punished the people of Judah because they had turned away from the Lord, the God of their ancestors.

4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree.

He was also given into the hands of the king of Israel, who inflicted heavy casualties on him. 6 In one day Pekah(B) son of Remaliah killed a hundred and twenty thousand soldiers in Judah(C)—because Judah had forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors.
