For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
Strong's King James
For he sacrificed{H2076}{(H8799)} unto the gods{H430} of Damascus{H1834}, which smote{H5221}{(H8688)} him: and he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Because the gods{H430} of the kings{H4428} of Syria{H758} help{H5826}{(H8688)} them, therefore will I sacrifice{H2076}{(H8762)} to them, that they may help{H5826}{(H8799)} me. But they were the ruin{H3782}{(H8687)} of him, and of all Israel{H3478}.
