The Reign of Ahaz
This chapter recounts how the idolatry of Ahaz was punished by the attacks of Syria and Israel; how the captives taken by the Israelites were restored; and how Ahaz in his distress appealed to Assyria.
This chapter corresponds to 2 Kings 16, but it omits many facts related there, whilst expanding the account of the war with Israel.
