1 In the days of ^mAhaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, ⁿRezin the king of Syria and ⁿPekah the son of Remaliah the king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not yet mount an attack against it. 2 When the house of David was told, ^o“Syria is in league with^{1 p}Ephraim,” the heart of Ahaz² and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.
