According to 2 Chronicles 28:23, why did Ahaz sacrifice to the gods of Damascus?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because he thought Syria's gods would aid him
Ahaz foolishly believed that the gods of Syria were responsible for Syria's military success. He sacrificed to them hoping for help, but the Bible states they were actually the ruin of him and all Israel.
