The Cave of Treasures 61
Ahaz a Vassal of the King of Assyria
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign and ruled sixteen years in Jerusalem with mother ‘Aphin daughter of Levi.
1haz was twenty years old when [he began] to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was ‘Aphin, the daughter of Levi. And he did that which was evil before the Lord, and he sacrificed to devils. Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, went up against him, and Ahaz wrote himself down in his letter as his servant, and the Assyrian held him in subjection.
2 And Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria the gold and silver [which were in] the house of the Lord, [and in his days] the children of Israel were carried off into captivity. And the king sent for the men who had come from Babel, so that they might dwell in the land instead of the children of Israel, because they could kill the lions. And the king of Assyria sent to them Ori the priest, and he taught them the laws. And Ahaz died and Hezekiah his son reigned after him.
