2 Chronicles chapter 28 verse number 1 and this is a this is basically the parallel to 2 Kings 15 and 16. 2 Chronicles 28 verse 1 by which Ahaz was 20 years old when he began to reign and he reigns 16 years in Jerusalem but he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord like David his father for he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and made also molten images for Moreover he burnt incense in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom and burnt his children in the fire after the abomination to the heathen whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel so I mean we're really starting to understand this isn't a good guy at all I mean he's doing these child sacrifices as he sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places and on the hills and under every green tree so this guy's a real piece of work right he's following just basically the ways of Israel yet we're gonna see that God still protects him not because he has respect to Ahaz at all but for his own purposes and again I'm gonna get into that I'm getting a little bit ahead of myself here let's keep reading verse number five Bible reads wherefore the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria and they smote him and carried away a great multitude of them captives and brought them to Damascus and he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel who smote him with a great slaughter for Pekah the son of Ramaliah slew in Judah and hundred and twenty thousand in one day which were all valiant men because they had forsaken the Lord God of their father so there's a little bit of insight to on what Pekah the son of Ramaliah did in in in Judah it says he slew a hundred and twenty thousand valiant men I mean those are those are like these tough warriors that's a lot especially for considering this is just for that came for Judah for Jerusalem right but this is what God does when you forsake him and as we are going to see and as we continue to read you know it wasn't just the king that was wicked the people were wicked to jump down to verse number 19 there in 2nd Chronicles 28 the Bible says for the Lord brought Judah low because of a as king of Israel for he made Judah naked and transgressed sore against the Lord and till God's police or king of Assyria came unto him and distressed him but strengthened him not for a has took away a portion out of the house of the Lord and out of the house of the king and of the princes and gave it unto the king of Assyria but he helped him not and in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the Lord this is that King Ahaz for he sacrificed under the gods of Damascus which smote him and he said because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them therefore while I sacrificed to them that they may help me but they were the ruin of him and of all Israel and I'm not going to continue reading but keep hearing this is the guy this is the king that conquered people he won in a battle and then decided to take their gods and serve them like they didn't help the people that were serving that false god and now and now you're gonna say oh I'm gonna build this altar now one of these gods like you're an idiot the guy didn't even save his own people and now you're gonna pick up the torch for that God for that false God you know it's ridiculous obviously that makes God angry and God judges him for that but to me it's just it's it's just kind of stupid but you know people have this this weird these these weird ideas when you don't know who God is I mean it's just all kinds of bizarre ideas about God that are just illogical and make no sense without without just understanding who the Lord is and worshiping him I mean it's our God is a God of truth which is why he makes sense
