2 Chronicles28:20
20 And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him , but strengthened him not .
Or, straitned him, by robbing him of his Treasures.
A most Emphatical Expression: for though he weakned his present Enemy the Syrian, as is related, 2 King. 16. 9. yet really and all things considered he did not strengthen Ahaz and his Kingdom, but rather weaken them; for by the removing the Syrian, who, though a Troublesom Neighbour, was a kind of Bulwark to him as to many other Enemies, he smoothed the way for himself a far more Dangerous and Mischievous Enemy, as appears by his Invasion of Judah in the very next Kings Reign.
