What does 2 Chronicles 28:20 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
20. Tilgath-pilneser ... distressed him, but strengthened him not--that is, notwithstanding the temporary relief which Tilgath-pilneser afforded him by the conquest of Damascus and the slaughter of Rezin (2Ki 16:9), little advantage resulted from it, for Tilgath-pilneser spent the winter in voluptuous revelry at Damascus; and the connection formed with the Assyrian king was eventually a source of new and greater calamities and humiliation to the kingdom of Judah (2Ch 28:2, 3). 2Ch 28:22-27. His Idolatry in His Distress.
