2 Kings 16:5-12
5ThenH227 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of Syria and PekahH6492 sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 cameH5927 up to JerusalemH3389 to warH4421: and they besieged AhazH271, but could not overcome him. 6At that timeH6256 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of Syria recovered ElathH359 to Syria, and drove the JewsH3064 from ElathH359; and the Syrians cameH935 to ElathH359, and dweltH3427 there, unto this dayH3117.
7So AhazH271 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, I am thy servantH5650 and thy sonH1121: comeH5927 up, and saveH3467 me out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of Syria, and out of the handH3709 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who riseH6965 up against me. 8And AhazH271 tookH3947 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and in the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 it for a present to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 9And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hearkened unto him; and the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 wentH5927 up against DamascusH1834, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to KirH7024, and slew RezinH7526.
10And kingH4428 AhazH271 went to DamascusH1834 to meet Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and sawH7200 the altarH4196 that was at DamascusH1834; and kingH4428 AhazH271 sentH7971 to Urijah the priestH3548 the fashion of the altarH4196, and the patternH8403 of it, according to all the workmanshipH4639 thereof. 11And Urijah the priestH3548 builtH1129 an altarH4196: according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 had sentH7971 from DamascusH1834, soH3651 did Urijah the priestH3548 makeH6213 it against the comingH935 of kingH4428 AhazH271 from DamascusH1834. 12And when the kingH4428 was comeH935 from DamascusH1834, the kingH4428 sawH7200 the altarH4196: and the kingH4428 drewH7126 near unto the altarH4196, and offeredH5927 thereon.
