Joash pays Hazael to spare Jerusalem
When Hazael, king of Aram, had captured Gath and turned his attention to Jerusalem, Joash king of Judah took all the sacred gifts that his fathers Jehoshaphat, Joram, and Ahaziah had dedicated to the Lord, along with his own sacred offerings and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the Lord and the royal palace, and sent it to Hazael. Then Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem.
2. Könige 12,18-19
18At that time Hazael king of Aram marched up, attacked Gath, and captured it. Then he set his sights on marching against Jerusalem.
אָ֣ז יַעֲלֶ֗ה חֲזָאֵל֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אֲרָ֔ם וַיִּלָּ֥חֶם עַל־גַּ֖ת וַֽיִּלְכְּדָ֑הּ וַיָּ֤שֶׂם חֲזָאֵל֙ פָּנָ֔יו לַעֲל֖וֹת עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃
19So Jehoash king of Judah took all the sacred objects that his fathers Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah, had dedicated, together with his own dedicated gifts and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael king of Aram, who then withdrew from Jerusalem.
