Ahaz's Idolatry

But those gods brought about his downfall, and the downfall of all of Israel, too. 24 Ahaz also collected the utensils of God's Temple, cut them all into pieces, and closed the doors of the LORD's Temple. Then he made altars to himself on every corner in Jerusalem 25 and established high places in every city of Judah where incense was burned to other gods, thus provoking the LORD God of his ancestors to anger.
