1
In the seventeenth
year
of Pekah
the son
of Remaliah,
Ahaz
the son
of Jotham,
king
of Judah,
became
king
.
2
Ahaz
was twenty
years
old
when he became
king, and he reigned
sixteen
years
in Jerusalem;
and he did not do
what was right
in the sight
of the LORD
his God,
as his father
David
had done.
3
But he walked
in the way
of the kings
of Israel,
and even
made his son
pass
through the fire,
according to the abominations
of the nations
whom
the LORD
had driven
out from before
the sons
of Israel.
4
He sacrificed
and burned incense
on the high places
and on the hills
and under
every
green
tree.
5
Then
Rezin
king
of Aram
and Pekah
son
of Remaliah,
king
of Israel,
came
up to Jerusalem
to wage war;
and they besieged
Ahaz,
but could
not overcome
him.
6
At that time
Rezin
king
of Aram
recovered
Elath
for Aram,
and cleared
the Judeans
out of
Elath
entirely; and the Arameans
came
to
Elath
and have lived
there
to this
day.
7
So Ahaz
sent
messengers
to Tiglath-pileser
king
of Assyria,
saying,
"I am your servant
and your son;
come
up and deliver
me from the hand
of the
king
of Aram
and from the hand
of the
king
of Israel,
who are rising
up against
me."
8
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
a present
to the king
of Assyria.
9
So the king
of Assyria
listened
to him; and the king
of Assyria
went
up against
Damascus
and captured
it, and carried the people of it away into exile
to Kir,
and put
Rezin
to death.
10
Now King
Ahaz
went
to Damascus
to meet
Tiglath-pileser
king
of Assyria,
and saw
the altar
which
was at Damascus;
and King
Ahaz
sent
to Urijah
the priest
the pattern
of
the altar
and its model,
according to all
its workmanship.
11
So
Urijah
the priest
built
an altar;
according to all
that King
Ahaz
had sent
from Damascus,
thus
Urijah
the priest
made
it, before
the coming
of King
Ahaz
from Damascus.
12
When
the king
came
from Damascus,
the king
saw
the altar
;
then
the king
approached
the altar
and went
up to it,
13
and burned
his burnt offering
and his meal offering,
and poured
his drink offering
and sprinkled
the blood
of his peace offerings
on the altar.
14
The bronze
altar,
which
was before
the LORD,
he brought
from the front
of the house,
from between
his altar
and the house
of
the LORD,
and he put
it on the north
side
of
his altar
.
15
Then King
Ahaz
commanded
Urijah
the priest,
saying,
"Upon the great
altar
burn
the morning
burn
t
offering
and the evening
meal
offering
and the king's
burn
t
offering
and his
meal
offering
,
with the
burn
t
offering
of all
the people
of the land
and their
meal
offering
and their drink
offering
s;
and sprinkle
on it all
the blood
of the
burn
t
offering
and all
the blood
of the sacrifice.
But the bronze
altar
shall be for me to inquire
by."
16
So Urijah
the priest
did
according to all
that King
Ahaz
commanded.
17
Then King
Ahaz
cut off
the borders
of the stands,
and removed
the laver
from them; he also took down
the sea
from the bronze
oxen
which
were under
it and put
it on a pavement
of stone.
18
The covered way
for the sabbath
which
they had built
in the house,
and the outer
entry
of the king
,
he removed
from the house
of the LORD
because
of the king
of Assyria.
19
Now 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?
20
So Ahaz
slept
with his fathers
,
and was buried
with his fathers
in the city
of David;
and his son
Hezekiah
reigned
in his place.
