II Kings 16 (kjv)

In the seventeenth^{H7651 H6240 H8141} year^H8141 of Pekah^H6492 the son^H1121 of Remaliah^H7425 Ahaz^H271 the son^H1121 of Jotham^H3147 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 began to reign^H4427.²Twenty^H6242 years^H8141 old^H1121 was Ahaz^H271 when he began to reign^H4427, and reigned^H4427 sixteen^{H8337 H6240} years^H8141 in Jerusalem^H3389, and did^H6213 not that which was right^H3477 in the sight^H5869 of the LORD^H3068 his God^H430, like David^H1732 his father^H1.³But he walked^H3212 in the way^H1870 of the kings^H4428 of Israel^H3478, yea, and made his son^H1121 to pass through^H5674 the fire^H784, according to the abominations^H8441 of the heathen^H1471, whom the LORD^H3068 cast out^H3423 from before^H6440 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478.⁴And he sacrificed^H2076 and burnt incense^H6999 in the high places^H1116, and on the hills^H1389, and under every green^H7488 tree^H6086.

⁵Then Rezin^H7526 king^H4428 of Syria^H758 and Pekah^H6492 son^H1121 of Remaliah^H7425 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478 came up^H5927 to Jerusalem^H3389 to war^H4421: and they besieged^H6696 Ahaz^H271, but could^H3201 not overcome^H3898 him.⁶At that time^H6256 Rezin^H7526 king^H4428 of Syria^H758 recovered^H7725 Elath^H359 to Syria^{H758 H130}, and drave^H5394 the Jews^H3064 from Elath^H359: and the Syrians^H726 came^H935 to Elath^H359, and dwelt^H3427 there unto this day^H3117.⁷So Ahaz^H271 sent^H7971 messengers^H4397 to Tiglathpileser^H8407 king^H4428 of Assyria^H804, saying^H559, I am thy servant^H5650 and thy son^H1121: come up^H5927, and save^H3467 me out of the hand^H3709 of the king^H4428 of Syria^H758, and out of the hand^H3709 of the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478, which rise up^H6965 against me.⁸And Ahaz^H271 took^H3947 the silver^H3701 and gold^H2091 that was found^H4672 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, and in the treasures^H214 of the king's^H4428 house^H1004, and sent^H7971 it for a present^H7810 to the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804.⁹And the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804 hearkened^H8085 unto him: for the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804 went up^H5927 against Damascus^H1834, and took^H8610 it, and carried the people of it captive^H1540 to Kir^H7024, and slew^H4191 Rezin^H7526.

¹⁰And king^H4428 Ahaz^H271 went^H3212 to Damascus^H1834 to meet^H7125 Tiglathpileser^H8407 king^H4428 of Assyria^H804, and saw^H7200 an altar^H4196 that was at Damascus^H1834: and king^H4428 Ahaz^H271 sent^H7971 to Urijah^H223 the priest^H3548 the fashion^H1823 of the altar^H4196, and the pattern^H8403 of it, according to all the workmanship^H4639 thereof.¹¹And Urijah^H223 the priest^H3548 built^H1129 an altar^H4196 according to all that king^H4428 Ahaz^H271 had sent^H7971 from Damascus^H1834: so Urijah^H223 the priest^H3548 made^H6213 it against king^H4428 Ahaz^H271 came^H935 from Damascus^H1834.

¹²And when the king^H4428 was come^H935 from Damascus^H1834, the king^H4428 saw^H7200 the altar^H4196: and the king^H4428 approached^H7126 to the altar^H4196, and offered^H5927 thereon.¹³And he burnt^H6999 his burnt offering^H5930 and his meat offering^H4503, and poured^H5258 his drink offering^H5262, and sprinkled^H2236 the blood^H1818 of his peace offerings^H8002, upon the altar^H4196.¹⁴And he brought^H7126 also the brasen^H5178 altar^H4196, which was before^H6440 the LORD^H3068, from the forefront^H6440 of the house^H1004, from between the altar^H4196 and the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, and put^H5414 it on the north^H6828 side^H3409 of the altar^H4196.¹⁵And king^H4428 Ahaz^H271 commanded^H6680 Urijah^H223 the priest^H3548, saying^H559, Upon the great^H1419 altar^H4196 burn^H6999 the morning^H1242 burnt offering^H5930, and the evening^H6153 meat offering^H4503, and the king's^H4428 burnt sacrifice^H5930, and his meat offering^H4503, with the burnt offering^H5930 of all the people^H5971 of the land^H776, and their meat offering^H4503, and their drink offerings^H5262; and sprinkle^H2236 upon it all the blood^H1818 of the burnt offering^H5930, and all the blood^H1818 of the sacrifice^H2077: and the brasen^H5178 altar^H4196 shall be for me to enquire^H1239 by.¹⁶Thus did^H6213 Urijah^H223 the priest^H3548, according to all that king^H4428 Ahaz^H271 commanded^H6680.

¹⁷And king^H4428 Ahaz^H271 cut off^H7112 the borders^H4526 of the bases^H4350, and removed^H5493 the laver^H3595 from off them; and took down^H3381 the sea^H3220 from off the brasen^H5178 oxen^H1241 that were under it, and put^H5414 it upon a pavement^H4837 of stones^H68.¹⁸And the covert^{H4329 H4329} for the sabbath^H7676 that they had built^H1129 in the house^H1004, and the king's^H4428 entry^H3996 without^H2435, turned^H5437 he from the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068 for^H6440 the king^H4428 of Assyria^H804.

¹⁹Now the rest^H3499 of the acts^H1697 of Ahaz^H271 which he did^H6213, are they not written^H3789 in the book^H5612 of the chronicles^{H1697 H3117} of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063?²⁰And Ahaz^H271 slept^H7901 with his fathers^H1, and was buried^H6912 with his fathers^H1 in the city^H5892 of David^H1732: and Hezekiah^H2396 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427 in his stead.
