2 Chronicles 28:23 in Context — 2 Chronicles 28
21 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.
22 Además el rey Achâz en el tiempo que [aquél] le apuraba, añadió prevaricación contra Jehová;
23 Porque sacrificó á los dioses de Damasco que le habían herido, y dijo: Pues que los dioses de los reyes de Siria les ayudan, yo [también] sacrificaré á ellos para que me ayuden; bien que fueron éstos su ruina, y la de todo Israel.
24 A más de eso recogió Achâz los vasos de la casa de Dios, y quebrólos, y cerró las puertas de la casa de Jehová, é hízose altares en Jerusalem en todos los rincones.
25 Hizo también altos en todas las ciudades de Judá, para quemar perfumes á los dioses ajenos, provocando así á ira á Jehová el Dios de sus padres.
