Contextual Overview
16 At that time, sent King Ahaz unto the kings of Assyria to help him. 17 For again had, the Edomites, come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives; 18 and, the Philistines, had spread themselves out against the cities of the lowland and of the south, pertaining to Judah, and had captured Beth-shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth, and Soco with its villages, and Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo, with its villages, - and dwelt there. 19 For Yahweh had brought Judah low, because of Ahaz king of Israel, - for he had given the rein in Judah, and, been grievously unfaithful, with Yahweh. 20 And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, came against him, - and distressed him, but strengthened him not. 21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Yahweh, and out of the house of the king, and the rulers, - and gave unto the king of Assyria, but he helped him not. 22 And, in the time of his distress, he yet further acted unfaithfully with Yahweh, - he, King Ahaz! 23 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus who had smitten him, and said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria are helping them, unto them, will I sacrifice, that they may help me. But, they, served to seduce him and all Israel. 24 And Ahaz gathered together the utensils of the house of God, and brake away the fittings of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of Yahweh, - and made for himself altars at every corner in Jerusalem; 25 and, in every several city of Judah, made he high places, for burning incense unto other gods, - and provoked Yahweh, God of his fathers.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 28:21. But he helped him not. — He did him no ultimate service. 2 Kings 16:9.
After ver. 2 Chronicles 28:15, the 2 Chronicles 28:23, 2 Chronicles 28:24, and 2 Chronicles 28:25 verses are introduced before the 2 Chronicles 28:16, in the Syriac and Arabic, and the 2 Chronicles 28:22 verse is wholly wanting in both, though some of the expressions may be found in the twenty-first verse.
