2 Kings 16:2

Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

KJV

Viginti annorum erat Achaz cum regnare cœpisset, et sedecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem. Non fecit quod erat placitum in conspectu Domini Dei sui sicut David pater ejus,

Vulgate

υἱὸς εἴκοσι ἐτῶν ἦν Ἀχὰς ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ ἑκκαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ· καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησεν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου θεοῦ πιστῶς ὡς Δαυεὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

LXX

Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah his God, like David his father.
