Commentaire sur Chroniques 2 28:21
כִּֽי־חָלַ֤ק אָחָז֙ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה וְאֶת־בֵּ֥ית הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ וְהַשָּׂרִ֑ים וַיִּתֵּן֙ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר וְלֹ֥א לְעֶזְרָ֖ה לֽוֹ׃
Car Achaz avait dépouillé la maison de l’Éternel, le palais du roi et les chefs pour tout donner au roi d’Assyrie, mais cela ne lui servit de rien.
Rashi on II Chronicles
