2 Chronicles 28

Ahaz, king of Judah, engages in idolatry by making molten images for the Baals, burning his children in fire to Molech in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom, and forsaking YHWH, leading to defeats by Syria and Israel under Pekah who slay 120,000 and capture 200,000.[1][2][4] Prophet Oded rebukes Israel for enslaving their Judahite kin, prompting leaders to clothe, feed, and return the captives; Ahaz further sins by seeking Assyrian aid, closing YHWH's temple, and sacrificing to their gods.[1][2][3]
