2 Kings 16:8-19
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. 13And he burnt his burnt-offering and his meal-offering, and poured his drink-offering, and sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 of his peace-offerings, upon the altarH4196. 14And the brazen altarH4196, which was before Jehovah, he broughtH7126 from the forefront of the houseH1004, from between his altarH4196 and the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and putH5414 it on the northH6828 sideH3409 of his altarH4196. 15And kingH4428 AhazH271 commandedH6680 Urijah the priestH3548, sayingH559, Upon the greatH1419 altarH4196 burn the morningH1242 burnt-offering, and the eveningH6153 meal-offering, and the king’sH4428 burnt-offering, and his meal-offering, with the burnt-offering of all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings; and sprinkleH2236 upon it all the bloodH1818 of the burnt-offering, and all the bloodH1818 of the sacrificeH2077: but the brazen altarH4196 shall beH1961 for me to inquire by. 16Thus did Urijah the priestH3548, according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 commandedH6680.
17And kingH4428 AhazH271 cutH7112 off the panels of the bases, and removedH5493 the laver from off them, and took down the seaH3220 from off the brazen oxenH1241 that were under it, and putH5414 it upon a pavement of stoneH68. 18And the covered way for the sabbathH7676 that they had builtH1129 in the houseH1004, and the king’sH4428 entry without, turnedH5437 he unto the houseH1004 of Jehovah, because of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 19Now the restH3499 of the acts of AhazH271 which he did, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
