2 Kings 16:3 in Context — 2 Kings 16

1 No ano dezessete de Peca filho de Remalias, começou a reinar Acaz filho de Jotão rei de Judá.

2 Quando começou a reinar Acaz, era de vinte anos, e reinou em Jerusalém dezesseis anos: e não fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR seu Deus, como Davi seu pai;

3 Antes andou no caminho dos reis de Israel, e ainda fez passar pelo fogo a seu filho, segundo as abominações das nações que o SENHOR expulsou de diante dos filhos de Israel.

4 Também sacrificou, e queimou incenso nos altos, e sobre as colinas, e debaixo de toda árvore frondosa.

5 Então Resim rei da Síria, e Peca filho de Remalias rei de Israel, subiram a Jerusalém para fazer guerra, e cercar a Acaz; mas não puderam tomá-la.
