{{links}}==Main article== Ahaz was the son and successor of [[Jotham]], king of Judah ([[2 Kings 16]]; [[Isaiah (WEB)#Chapter 7|Isaiah 7-9]]; [[2 Chronicles 28]]). He gave himself up to a life of [[idolatry]]. He died at the age of thirty-five years, after reigning sixteen years ([[732 BC]]-[[716 BC]] according to [[E.R. Thiele]]), and was succeeded by his son [[Hezekiah]]. He is one the kings mentioned in the genealogy of [[Jesus]] in the [[Gospel of Matthew]]. He is said to have given himself up to a life of wickedness, introducing many pagan and idolatrous customs ([[Isaiah 8:19]]; [[Kings 23:12]]). He ignored the remonstrances and warnings of the prophets [[Isaiah]], [[Hosea]], and [[Micah]], and appealed to [[Tiglath-Pileser III]], the king of [[Assyria]], for help against [[Rezin]], king of [[Damascus]], and [[Pekah]], Prince of [[Ancient Israel|Israel]], who threatened [[Jerusalem]]. This brought a great injury to his kingdom, and his own humiliating subjection to the Assyrians ([[2 Kings 16]]:7,9; [[2 Kings 15:29|15:29]]). He died at the age of 35, after reigning 16 years, and was succeeded by his son Hezekiah. Because of his wickedness he was "not brought into the sepulchre of the kings." ==Links==
