And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of YY , and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Ashur.
YY shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Efrayim departed from Yhudah; even the king of Ashur.
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of YY and of the king's house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Dammesek, saying,
Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Yaakov, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Plishtim, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
And Pul the king of Ashur came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
