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

    2Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not do what was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

    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.

    8And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the king's house and sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria.

    9The king of Assyria heeded him, for he went up against Damascus, captured it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.

    10Then king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria and saw an altar that was at Damascus; and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the design of the altar and its pattern, according to all its workmanship.

    12And when the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king approached the altar and offered on it.

    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.

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

    17And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the stands, removed the lavers from them, and took down the sea from the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stones.

    18He also removed the sabbath canopy they had built in the house, and the king's outer entry, from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.

    19Now 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?

    20So Ahaz rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

    21For Ahaz took a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the leaders, and gave it to the king of Assyria, but he did not help him.

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

    23For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, who had struck him, and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

    24And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and made altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

    25And in every city of Judah, he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.
