Batman: Holy Scripture, Robin! The story of 2 Kings 16 tells us of King Ahaz of Judah.

Robin: He was a wicked king, Batman!

Batman: Indeed. He made offerings to foreign gods and even sacrificed his own son.

Catwoman: He sounds like a real charmer!

Batman: He also made alliances with foreign kings and gave them gifts in exchange for military assistance.

Robin: But it didn't do him any good, Batman. He was defeated by the Arameans and the Israelites.

Riddler: Ah, but wasn't he also the one who shut down the Temple of the Lord and had it replaced with an altar to foreign gods?

Batman: Yes, Riddler, that was indeed King Ahaz. His wickedness was so great that it brought about the destruction of the kingdom of Judah.

Robin: But at least justice was served in the end. Ahaz was defeated, and the Temple of the Lord was restored.
