On Ahaz: Text and Manuscripts

Go to the Kings of Judah and Israel, Part 2 group, the Visual edition.

Iste achaz filium suum per ignem beennon traiecit; obsessus a rasin et facee , ysaie consolanti credere noluit , signum querere contempsit; qui, relicto deo, spe posita in teglafalasar , ornamenta templi diruit ; sub eo roma condita et ysaias onus babylonis uidit.

This Ahaz threw his son into the fire at Ben Hinnom. Besieged by Rezin and Pekah, he refused to believe the consolation of Isaiah and scorned asking for a sign. Abandoning God, he put his trust in Tigath-Pileser. He destroyed the temple ornaments. In his time Rome was founded and Isaiah foresaw the oppression by Babylon.
