"Listen up, recruits! Chapter 16 of 2 Kings tells us about King Ahaz of Judah. He was a wicked man who disobeyed God. He even sacrificed his own son as an offering to a false god. He also made an alliance with the King of Assyria, who helped him defeat the King of Israel. But this alliance was a mistake, and God punished Judah by allowing the Assyrians to take their land. The chapter ends with the death of King Ahaz, and his son Hezekiah taking the throne."
