For Ahaz 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.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 28 of 2 Chronicles. Ahaz seeks help from Assyria, but the alliance does not produce the expected deliverance. Instead, the king intensifies his idolatry and profanes the temple utensils. The chapter concludes with his death without being buried in the tombs of the kings. The national crisis is repeatedly connected with the decision to abandon the Lord.

Denn Ahas plünderte das Haus des HERRN und das Haus des Königs und der Obersten und gab es dem König von Assyrien; aber es half ihm nichts.
Aunque despojó Achâz la casa de Jehová, y la casa real, y las de los príncipes, para dar al rey de los Asirios, con todo eso él no le ayudó.
Aunque Acaz había despojado la casa de Jehová, el palacio del rey y las casas de los jefes, y había entregado lo tomado al rey de Asiria, esto no le sirvió de ayuda.
Car Achaz dépouilla la maison de l'Eternel, la maison du roi et celle des chefs, pour faire des présents au roi d'Assyrie; ce qui ne lui fut d'aucun secours.
Perciocchè Achaz prese una parte de’ tesori della Casa del Signore, e della casa del re, e de’ principali del popolo; e li diede al re degli Assiri, il qual però non gli diede alcuno aiuto.
Porque Acaz tomou despojos da casa do SENHOR, e da casa do rei, e dos príncipes, e os deu ao rei da Assíria; porém não o ajudou.
亞哈斯 從耶和華殿裏和王宮中,以及眾領袖家中取財寶送給 亞述 王,也無濟於事。
