وَأَرْسَلَ آحَازُ رُسُلاً إِلَى تَغْلَثَ فَلاَسِرَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ قَائِلاً: «أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُكَ. اصْعَدْ وَخَلِّصْنِي مِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ أَرَامَ وَمِنْ يَدِ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْقَائِمَيْنِ عَلَيَّ».

In this distress Ahaz turned to Tiglath-pileser, without regarding either the word of Isaiah in Kg2 7:4., which promised salvation, or the prophet's warning against an alliance with Assyria, and by sending the gold and silver which were found in the treasures of the temple and palace, purchased his assistance against Rezin and Pekah. Whether this occurred immediately after the invasion of the land by the allied kings, or not till after they had defeated the Judaean army and advanced against Jerusalem, it is impossible to discover either from this verse or from Ch2 28:16; but probably it was after the first great victory gained by the foe, with which Isa 7 and 8 agree. - On קומים for קמים see Ewald, 151, b.
افتح المصدر ↗This chapter is wholly taken up with the reign of Ahaz; and we have quite enough of it, unless it were better. He had a good father, and a better son, and yet was himself one of the worst of the kings of Judah. I. He was a notorious idolater (Kg2 16:1-4). II. With the treasures of the temple, as well as his own, he hired the king of Assyria to invade Syria and Israel (Kg2 16:5-9). III. He took pattern from an idol's altar which he saw at Damascus for a new altar in God's temple (Kg2 16:10-16). IV. He abused and embezzled the furniture of the temple (Kg2 16:17, Kg2 16:18). And so his story ends (Kg2 16:19, Kg2 16:20).
افتح المصدر ↗16:7-9 Rather than trusting in God’s provision (Isa 7:7-16), Ahaz petitioned Tiglath-pileser III of Assyria to rescue him from his enemies. Tiglath-pileser was successful, and his victory brought about the death of Rezin, the capture of Damascus, and the deportation of its citizens (732 BC). It also contributed to unseating Pekah as king of Israel in the same year (2 Kgs 15:29-30). The cost of the rescue was great, however; Ahaz paid a heavy tribute to Tiglath-pileser, and the Assyrian intervention reduced Judah to vassal status.

فِي أَيَّامِ فَقْحٍ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، جَاءَ تَغْلَثَ فَلاَسِرُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَأَخَذَ عُيُونَ وَآبَلَ بَيْتِ مَعْكَةَ وَيَانُوحَ وَقَادَشَ وَحَاصُورَ وَجِلْعَادَ وَالْجَلِيلَ وَكُلَّ أَرْضِ نَفْتَالِي، وَسَبَاهُمْ إِلَى أَشُّورَ.
«هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: مَلْعُونٌ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ، وَيَجْعَلُ الْبَشَرَ ذِرَاعَهُ، وَعَنِ الرَّبِّ يَحِيدُ قَلْبُهُ.
فِي ذلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ آحَازُ إِلَى مُلُوكِ أَشُّورَ لِيُسَاعِدُوهُ.
فَنَبَّهَ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ رُوحَ فُولَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ وَرُوحَ تَغْلَث فَلْنَاسَرَ مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَسَبَاهُمُ، الرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْجَادِيِّينَ وَنِصْفَ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى، وَأَتَى بِهِمْ إِلَى حَلَحَ وَخَابُورَ وَهَارَا وَنَهْرِ جُوزَانَ إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ.
فَأَجَابَ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقَالَ: «حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكَ، أَنَا وَجَمِيعُ مَا لِي لَكَ».
فَجَاءَ عَلَيْهِ تِلْغَثُ فِلْنَاسِرُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَضَايَقَهُ وَلَمْ يُشَدِّدْهُ.
أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَقَدْ كَلَّتْ أَعْيُنُنَا مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى عَوْنِنَا الْبَاطِلِ. فِي بُرْجِنَا انْتَظَرْنَا أُمَّةً لاَ تُخَلِّصُ.
لاَ يُخَلِّصُنَا أَشُّورُ. لاَ نَرْكَبُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ، وَلاَ نَقُولُ أَيْضًا لِعَمَلِ أَيْدِينَا: آلِهَتَنَا. إِنَّهُ بِكَ يُرْحَمُ الْيَتِيمُ».
