Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 5 is found in chapter 16 of 2 Kings. Rezin of Syria and Pekah of Israel attack Jerusalem, creating the crisis known as the Syro-Ephraimite War. Ahaz seeks help from Tiglath-pileser of Assyria and sends the treasures of the temple and palace as payment. The king interprets the threat through an imperial alliance rather than waiting for the Lord’s intervention. Assyria responds favorably and conquers Damascus, killing Rezin. Yet the political solution places Judah under dangerous dependence. The episode shows how a decision made to solve an immediate threat can profoundly alter the kingdom’s future position.
