For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, [therefore] will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
2 Chronicles 28:23 — KJV
Gods of Damascus. Instead of coming to his senses and realizing that his distress was due to his forsaking the Lord, Ahaz became all the more angry and bitter against God, and followed a course that brought upon himself and his nation still severer judgments. When Tiglath-pileser captured Damascus, Ahaz went to that city to pay homage to the Assyrian king. While there he saw an altar of which he made a copy, and had it set up before the Temple in Jerusalem, moving the brazen altar from its place (see 2 Kings 16:9—16).
