And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Even when he was in trouble and distress, King Ahaz sinned even more against the LORD. This is the kind of person King Ahaz was.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

The writer is describing how King Ahaz responded to his troubles by turning further away from God instead of turning toward Him.

📚 Historical Context

King Ahaz ruled Judah from about 735-715 BC during a time of great political turmoil, facing threats from Israel, Syria, and Assyria. Instead of trusting in God during these crises, he made alliances with pagan nations and adopted their religious practices. This verse serves as a summary statement of Ahaz's character - that pressure revealed his tendency to abandon faith rather than deepen it.
