16:8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the {f} house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent [it for] a present to the king of Assyria.
(f) Thus he did not spare the temple of God from being spoiled to gain help from men and would not once lift his heart to God to desire his help or hear his prophet's counsel.
16:1-9 Few and evil were the days of Ahaz. Those whose hearts condemn them, will go any where in a day of distress, rather than to God. The sin was its own punishment. It is common for those who bring themselves into straits by one sin, to try to help themselves out by another.
