    13He burned his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.

    14He also brought the bronze altar, which was before the LORD, from the front of the temple, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

    15Then king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king's burnt sacrifice, and his grain offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their grain offering and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice; and the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by.

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

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

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

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

    6At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath for Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; the Syrians came to Elath and have dwelt there to this day.

    7So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and your son; come up and save me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.

    22And in the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against the LORD, this is that King Ahaz.
