¹ In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

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.

³ But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

⁴ And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

⁵ Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.

⁶ At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.

⁷ So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.

⁸ And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

⁹ And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.

¹⁰ And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.

¹¹ And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus.

¹² And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon.

¹³ And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.

¹⁴ And he brought also the brazen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

¹⁵ And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brazen altar shall be for me to enquire by.

¹⁶ Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

¹⁷ And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it upon the pavement of stones.

¹⁸ And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.

¹⁹ Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁰ And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

¹ In the seventeenth ^{H7651 H6240 H8141} year ^H8141 of Pekah ^H6492 the son ^H1121 of Remaliah ^H7425 Ahaz ^H271 the son ^H1121 of Jotham ^H3147 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 began to reign. ^H4427

³ But he walked ^H3212 in the way ^H1870 of the kings ^H4428 of Israel, ^H3478 yea, and made his son ^H1121 to pass through ^H5674 the fire, ^H784 according to the abominations ^H8441 of the heathen, ^H1471 whom the LORD ^H3068 cast out ^H3423 from before ^H6440 the children ^H1121 of Israel. ^H3478

⁴ And he sacrificed ^H2076 and burnt incense ^H6999 in the high places, ^H1116 and on the hills, ^H1389 and under every green ^H7488 tree. ^H6086

⁵ Then Rezin ^H7526 king ^H4428 of Syria ^H758 and Pekah ^H6492 son ^H1121 of Remaliah ^H7425 king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 came up ^H5927 to Jerusalem ^H3389 to war: ^H4421 and they besieged ^H6696 Ahaz, ^H271 but could ^H3201 not overcome ^H3898 him.

⁷ So Ahaz ^H271 sent ^H7971 messengers ^H4397 to Tiglathpileser ^H8407 king ^H4428 of Assyria, ^H804 saying, ^H559 I am thy servant ^H5650 and thy son: ^H1121 come up, ^H5927 and save ^H3467 me out of the hand ^H3709 of the king ^H4428 of Syria, ^H758 and out of the hand ^H3709 of the king ^H4428 of Israel, ^H3478 which rise up ^H6965 against me.

⁸ And Ahaz ^H271 took ^H3947 the silver ^H3701 and gold ^H2091 that was found ^H4672 in the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 and in the treasures ^H214 of the king's ^H4428 house, ^H1004 and sent ^H7971 it for a present ^H7810 to the king ^H4428 of Assyria. ^H804

⁹ And the king ^H4428 of Assyria ^H804 hearkened ^H8085 unto him: for the king ^H4428 of Assyria ^H804 went up ^H5927 against Damascus, ^H1834 and took ^H8610 it, and carried the people of it captive ^H1540 to Kir, ^H7024 and slew ^H4191 Rezin. ^H7526

¹⁰ And king ^H4428 Ahaz ^H271 went ^H3212 to Damascus ^H1834 to meet ^H7125 Tiglathpileser ^H8407 king ^H4428 of Assyria, ^H804 and saw ^H7200 an altar ^H4196 that was at Damascus: ^H1834 and king ^H4428 Ahaz ^H271 sent ^H7971 to Urijah ^H223 the priest ^H3548 the fashion ^H1823 of the altar, ^H4196 and the pattern ^H8403 of it, according to all the workmanship ^H4639 thereof.

¹¹ And Urijah ^H223 the priest ^H3548 built ^H1129 an altar ^H4196 according to all that king ^H4428 Ahaz ^H271 had sent ^H7971 from Damascus: ^H1834 so Urijah ^H223 the priest ^H3548 made ^H6213 it against king ^H4428 Ahaz ^H271 came ^H935 from Damascus. ^H1834

¹² And when the king ^H4428 was come ^H935 from Damascus, ^H1834 the king ^H4428 saw ^H7200 the altar: ^H4196 and the king ^H4428 approached ^H7126 to the altar, ^H4196 and offered ^H5927 thereon.

¹³ And he burnt ^H6999 his burnt offering ^H5930 and his meat offering, ^H4503 and poured ^H5258 his drink offering, ^H5262 and sprinkled ^H2236 the blood ^H1818 of his peace offerings, ^H8002 upon the altar. ^H4196

¹⁴ And he brought ^H7126 also the brasen ^H5178 altar, ^H4196 which was before ^H6440 the LORD, ^H3068 from the forefront ^H6440 of the house, ^H1004 from between the altar ^H4196 and the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 and put ^H5414 it on the north ^H6828 side ^H3409 of the altar. ^H4196

¹⁵ And king ^H4428 Ahaz ^H271 commanded ^H6680 Urijah ^H223 the priest, ^H3548 saying, ^H559 Upon the great ^H1419 altar ^H4196 burn ^H6999 the morning ^H1242 burnt offering, ^H5930 and the evening ^H6153 meat offering, ^H4503 and the king's ^H4428 burnt sacrifice, ^H5930 and his meat offering, ^H4503 with the burnt offering ^H5930 of all the people ^H5971 of the land, ^H776 and their meat offering, ^H4503 and their drink offerings; ^H5262 and sprinkle ^H2236 upon it all the blood ^H1818 of the burnt offering, ^H5930 and all the blood ^H1818 of the sacrifice: ^H2077 and the brasen ^H5178 altar ^H4196 shall be for me to enquire ^H1239 by.

¹⁶ Thus did ^H6213 Urijah ^H223 the priest, ^H3548 according to all that king ^H4428 Ahaz ^H271 commanded. ^H6680

¹⁷ And king ^H4428 Ahaz ^H271 cut off ^H7112 the borders ^H4526 of the bases, ^H4350 and removed ^H5493 the laver ^H3595 from off them; and took down ^H3381 the sea ^H3220 from off the brasen ^H5178 oxen ^H1241 that were under it, and put ^H5414 it upon a pavement ^H4837 of stones. ^H68

¹⁸ And the covert ^{H4329 H4329} for the sabbath ^H7676 that they had built ^H1129 in the house, ^H1004 and the king's ^H4428 entry ^H3996 without, ^H2435 turned ^H5437 he from the house ^H1004 of the LORD ^H3068 for ^H6440 the king ^H4428 of Assyria. ^H804

¹ In the seventeenth year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah, Ahaz, the son of Jotham, became king of Judah.

² Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king; he was ruling for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord his God, as David his father did.

³ But he went in the ways of the kings of Israel, and even made his son go through the fire, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.

⁴ And he made offerings, burning them in the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.

⁵ Then Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war; and they made an attack on Ahaz, shutting him in, but were not able to overcome him.

⁶ At that time the king of Edom got Elath back for Edom, and sent the Jews out of Elath; and the Edomites came back to Elath where they are living to this day.

⁷ So Ahaz sent representatives to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and your son; come to my help against the kings of Aram and Israel who have taken up arms against me.

⁸ And Ahaz took the silver and gold which were in the house of the Lord and in the king's store-house, and sent them as an offering to the king of Assyria.

⁹ And the king of Assyria, in answer to his request, went up against Damascus and took it, and took its people away as prisoners to Kir, and put Rezin to death.

¹⁰ Then King Ahaz went to Damascus for a meeting with Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria; and there he saw the altar which was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a copy of the altar, giving the design of it and all the details of its structure.

¹¹ And from the copy King Ahaz sent from Damascus, Urijah made an altar and had it ready by the time King Ahaz came back from Damascus.

¹² And when the king came from Damascus, he saw the altar; and he went up on it and made an offering on it.

¹³ He made his burned offering and his meal offering and his drink offering there, draining out the blood of his peace-offerings on the altar.

¹⁴ And the brass altar, which was before the Lord, he took from the front of the house, from between his altar and the house of the Lord, and put it on the north side of his altar.

¹⁵ And King Ahaz gave orders to Urijah the priest, saying, Make the morning burned offering and the evening meal offering and the king's burned offering and meal offering, with the burned offerings of all the people and their meal offerings and drink offerings, on the great altar, and put on it all the blood of the burned offerings and of the beasts which are offered; but the brass altar will be for my use to get directions from the Lord.

¹⁶ So Urijah the priest did everything as the king said

¹⁷ And King Ahaz took off the sides of the wheeled bases, and took down the great water-vessel from off the brass oxen which were under it and put it on a floor of stone.

¹⁸ *** the house of the Lord, because of the king of Assyria.

¹⁹ Now the rest of the things which Ahaz did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

²⁰ And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.
