    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.

    17 King Ahaz cut off the borders of the stands and removed the basins from them. He also took down the sea from the bronze oxen that supported it and placed it on a stone pavement.

    18 Then he removed the Sabbath canopy they had built in the temple and the royal entrance to the outer court, to accommodate the king of Assyria.

    19 The rest of the events of Ahaz’s reign, and all that he did, are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

    20 Ahaz rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.

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

    2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. But he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord his God as David his ancestor had done.

    3 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, and even sacrificed his son in the fire, imitating the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.

    4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

    5 Then King Rezin of Aram and King Pekah son of Remaliah of Israel marched to Jerusalem to wage war. They besieged Ahaz but could not overpower him.

    6 At that time Rezin, king of Aram, recovered Elath for Aram by driving out the people of Judah. The Edomites moved into Elath and have lived there to this day.

    7 Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria, saying, 'I am your servant and your son. Come and save me from the hand of the king of Aram and the king of Israel, who are attacking me.'

    8 Ahaz took the silver and gold found in the temple of the Lord and the treasuries of the royal palace and sent them as a gift to the king of Assyria.

    21 Ahaz took some of the treasures from the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and the officials and gave them to the king of Assyria, but it did not help him.
