  • 2 Kgs 16:10-16 : 10 King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria. While he was there, he saw an altar and sent a detailed plan and model of the altar to Uriah the priest. 11 Uriah the priest constructed the altar following all the instructions King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. By the time the king returned from Damascus, the altar was ready. 12 When the king returned from Damascus, he saw the altar, approached it, and offered sacrifices on it. 13 He offered his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar. 14 As for the bronze altar that was before the Lord, he brought it from the front of the temple—from between his new altar and the temple of the Lord—and placed it on the north side of his new altar. 15 King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, 'On the large altar, offer the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt offering and his grain offering, the burnt offerings of all the people of the land, their grain offerings, and their drink offerings. Then, you shall sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offerings and the blood of the sacrifices. But the bronze altar will be for my personal use for inquiry.' 16 Uriah the priest did everything just as King Ahaz had commanded.
