Hosea 13:9Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version“Israel, I helped you, but you turned against me. So now I will destroy you. See the chapter |
He offered sacrifices to the gods the people of Damascus worshiped. The people of Damascus had defeated Ahaz. So he thought to himself, “The gods the people of Aram worship helped them. So if I offer sacrifices to them, maybe they will help me also.” Ahaz worshiped these gods. In this way he sinned, and he made the people of Israel sin.
