@ In the
seventeenth
H8141
year
of
Pekah
the
son
of
Remaliah
Ahaz
the
son
of
Jotham
king
of
Judah
began to
reign
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:2
@
Twenty
years
old
was
Ahaz
when he began to
reign
, and
reigned
sixteen
years
in
Jerusalem
, and
did
not that which was
right
in the
sight
of the
LORD
his
God
, like
David
his
father
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:3
@ But he
walked
in the
way
of the
kings
of
Israel
, yea, and made his
son
to pass
through
the
fire
, according to the
abominations
of the
heathen
, whom the
LORD
cast
out
from
before
the
children
of
Israel
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:4
@ And he
sacrificed
and burnt
incense
in the high
places
, and on the
hills
, and under every
green
tree
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:5
@ Then
Rezin
king
of
Syria
and
Pekah
son
of
Remaliah
king
of
Israel
came
up
to
Jerusalem
to
war
: and they
besieged
Ahaz
, but
could
not
overcome
him.
strkjv@2Kings:16:6
@ At that
time
Rezin
king
of
Syria
recovered
Elath
to
Syria
A
, and
drave
the
Jews
from
Elath
: and the
Syrians
came
to
Elath
, and
dwelt
there unto this
day
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:7
@ So
Ahaz
sent
messengers
to
Tiglathpileser
Tiglathking
of
Assyria
,
saying
, I am thy
servant
and thy
son
: come
up
, and
save
me out of the
hand
of the
king
of
Syria
, and out of the
hand
of the
king
of
Israel
, which rise
up
against me.
strkjv@2Kings:16:8
@ And
Ahaz
took
the
silver
and
gold
that was
found
in the
house
of the
LORD
, and in the
treasures
of the
kings
house
, and
sent
it for a
present
to the
king
of
Assyria
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:9
@ And the
king
of
Assyria
hearkened
unto him: for the
king
of
Assyria
went
up
against
Damascus
, and
took
it, and carried the people of it
captive
to
Kir
, and
slew
Rezin
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:10
@ And
king
Ahaz
went
to
Damascus
to
meet
Tiglathpileser
Tiglathking
of
Assyria
, and
saw
an
altar
that was at
Damascus
: and
king
Ahaz
sent
to
Urijah
the
priest
the
fashion
of the
altar
, and the
pattern
of it, according to all the
workmanship
thereof.
strkjv@2Kings:16:11
@ And
Urijah
the
priest
built
an
altar
according to all that
king
Ahaz
had
sent
from
Damascus
: so
Urijah
the
priest
made
it against
king
Ahaz
came
from
Damascus
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:12
@ And when the
king
was
come
from
Damascus
, the
king
saw
the
altar
: and the
king
approached
to the
altar
, and
offered
thereon.
strkjv@2Kings:16:13
@ And he
burnt
his burnt
offering
and his meat
offering
, and
poured
his drink
offering
, and
sprinkled
the
blood
of his peace
offerings
, upon the
altar
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:14
@ And he
brought
also the
brasen
altar
, which was
before
the
LORD
, from the
forefront
of the
house
, from between the
altar
and the
house
of the
LORD
, and
put
it on the
north
side
of the
altar
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:15
@ And
king
Ahaz
commanded
Urijah
the
priest
,
saying
, Upon the
great
altar
burn
the
morning
burnt
offering
, and the
evening
meat
offering
, and the
kings
burnt
sacrifice
, and his meat
offering
, with the burnt
offering
of all the
people
of the
land
, and their meat
offering
, and their drink
offerings
; and
sprinkle
upon it all the
blood
of the burnt
offering
, and all the
blood
of the
sacrifice
: and the
brasen
altar
shall be for me to
enquire
by.
strkjv@2Kings:16:16
@ Thus
did
Urijah
the
priest
, according to all that
king
Ahaz
commanded
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:17
@ And
king
Ahaz
cut
off
the
borders
of the
bases
, and
removed
the
laver
from off them; and took
down
the
sea
from off the
brasen
oxen
that were under it, and
put
it upon a
pavement
of
stones
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:18
@ And the
covert
for the
sabbath
that they had
built
in the
house
, and the
kings
entry
without
,
turned
he from the
house
of the
LORD
for
the
king
of
Assyria
.
strkjv@2Kings:16:19
@ 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
?
strkjv@2Kings:16:20
@ And
Ahaz
slept
with his
fathers
, and was
buried
with his
fathers
in the
city
of
David
: and
Hezekiah
his
son
reigned
in his stead.
