2 Chronicles 28:16-20

At that time King Ahaz sent word to the kings of Assyria for help.

For the Edomites had come again and attacked Judah, and led away captives.

The Philistines had also invaded the cities of the lowland and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, and Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages; and they had settled there.

For the Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had brought about a lack of restraint in Judah and was very unfaithful to the Lord.

So Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him.
