So the king of Assyria listened to him and marched up to Damascus and captured it. He deported its people to Kir but put Rezin to death.

The LORD says: I will not relent from punishing Damascus for three crimes, even four, because they threshed Gilead with iron sledges.Therefore, I will send fire against Hazael’s palace, and it will consume Ben-hadad’s citadels.I will break down the gates of Damascus. I will cut off the ruler from the Valley of Aven, and the one who wields the scepter from Beth-eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir. The LORD has spoken.

Ephraim will become a desolation on the day of punishment; I announce what is certain among the tribes of Israel.

So may I not care about the great city of Nineveh, which has more than a hundred twenty thousand people who cannot distinguish between their right and their left, as well as many animals?”

A pronouncement concerning Damascus: Look, Damascus is no longer a city. It has become a ruined heap.The cities of Aroer are abandoned; they will be places for flocks. They will lie down without fear.The fortress disappears from Ephraim, and a kingdom from Damascus. The remnant of Aram will be like the splendor of the Israelites. This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.

The LORD has raised up Rezin’s adversaries against him and stirred up his enemies.
