2 Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even made cast images of the Baals.
3 Moreover, Ahaz burned incense in the Valley of Hinnom and sacrificed his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 So the LORD his God delivered Ahaz into the hand of the king of Aram, who attacked him and took many captives to Damascus. Ahaz was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with great force.
