6 Dans ce même temps, Retsin, roi de Syrie, fit rentrer Élath au pouvoir des Syriens; il expulsa d’Élath les Juifs, et les Syriens vinrent à Élath, où ils ont habité jusqu’à ce jour.
7 Achaz envoya des messagers à Tiglath-Piléser, roi d’Assyrie, pour lui dire: Je suis ton serviteur et ton fils; monte, et délivre-moi de la main du roi de Syrie et de la main du roi d’Israël, qui s’élèvent contre moi.
8 Et Achaz prit l’argent et l’or qui se trouvaient dans la maison de l’Éternel et dans les trésors de la maison du roi, et il l’envoya en présent au roi d’Assyrie.
9 Le roi d’Assyrie l’écouta; il monta contre Damas, la prit, emmena les habitants en captivité à Kir, et fit mourir Retsin.
10 Le roi Achaz se rendit à Damas au-devant de Tiglath-Piléser, roi d’Assyrie. Et ayant vu l’autel qui était à Damas, le roi Achaz envoya au sacrificateur Urie le modèle et la forme exacte de cet autel.
