2 Kings 16:6-9

[6] At that time  Rezin  king  of Syria  recovered  Elath  to Syria,  and drave  the Jews  from Elath:  and the Syrians  came  to Elath,  and dwelt  there unto this day.  [7] So Ahaz  sent  messengers  to Tiglathpileser  king  of Assyria,  saying,  I am thy servant  and thy son:  come up,  and save  me out of the hand  of the king  of Syria,  and out of the hand  of the king  of Israel,  which rise up  against me. [8] And Ahaz  took  the silver  and gold  that was found  in the house  and in the treasures  of the king's  house,  and sent  it for a present  to the king  of Assyria.  [9] And the king  of Assyria  hearkened  unto him: for the king  of Assyria  went up  against Damascus,  and took  it, and carried the people of it captive  to Kir,  and slew  Rezin.
