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.
11Then Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus; so Urijah the priest made it before king Ahaz came from Damascus.
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.
