King James Version
2 Chronicles 28:16-20
King James Version
16 At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
17 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.
18 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there.
19 For the Lord brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord.
20 And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

2 Chronicles 28:16-20
New International Version
16 At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings[a] of Assyria(A) for help. 17 The Edomites(B) had again come and attacked Judah and carried away prisoners,(C) 18 while the Philistines(D) had raided towns in the foothills and in the Negev of Judah. They captured and occupied Beth Shemesh, Aijalon(E) and Gederoth,(F) as well as Soko,(G) Timnah(H) and Gimzo, with their surrounding villages. 19 The Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel,[b] for he had promoted wickedness in Judah and had been most unfaithful(I) to the Lord. 20 Tiglath-Pileser[c](J) king of Assyria(K) came to him, but he gave him trouble(L) instead of help.(M)
