2 Chronicles 29:8
Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes. Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was upon Judah and Jerusalem was the direct and inevitable result of the idolatrous course of Ahaz. He continued in that course in the face of earnest appeals from the prophets. To be delivered to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, or scorn, meant that the kingdom rapidly declined and its very existence was imperiled by invading armies. This was fulfilled when Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to make war and besieged Ahaz.
