16:7-9
Ahaz then prostrated himself before Assyria, seeking his help to fight against Israel, Ahaz used silver and gold to pay Assyria. Assyria did intervene on Israel's behalf.
16:10-20
Ahaz went to Damascus to congratulate Tiglath-pileser. There he saw an altar and got the priest Uriah to copy it. Ahaz then presented offerings at the altar to an idol. This altar to an idol usurped the godly altar in the temple. Uriah went along with the king’s demands. This process continued. Ahaz died and was succeeded by Hezekiah, who would prove to be a much better king.
