7And 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 have risenH6965 up against me.
8And AhazH271 tookH3947 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and in the treasuresH214 of the king's houseH1004, and sentH7971 it [as] a present to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
9And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hearkened to him; and the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 wentH5927 up against DamascusH1834, and took it, and carried it captive to KirH7024, and putH4191 RezinH7526 to deathH4191.
10And kingH4428 AhazH271 went to DamascusH1834 to meet Tiglath-PileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and he sawH7200 the altarH4196 that was at DamascusH1834, and kingH4428 AhazH271 sentH7971 to Urijah the priestH3548 the formH8403 of the altarH4196, and the patternH8403 of it, according to all its workmanshipH4639.
11And Urijah the priestH3548 builtH1129 an altarH4196 according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 had sentH7971 from DamascusH1834; thusH3651 Urijah the priestH3548 madeH6213 [it], against kingH4428 AhazH271 cameH935 from DamascusH1834.
12And when the kingH4428 cameH935 from DamascusH1834, the kingH4428 sawH7200 the altarH4196; and the kingH4428 approached to the altarH4196, and offeredH5927 upon it.
13And he burned his burnt-offering and his oblation, and poured out his drink-offering, and sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 of his peace-offering upon the altarH4196.
14And the brazen altarH4196 which was before Jehovah, he broughtH7126 forward from the forefront of the houseH1004, from between [his] altarH4196 and the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and putH5414 it by the sideH3409 of [his] altarH4196 on the northH6828.
15And kingH4428 AhazH271 commandedH6680 Urijah the priestH3548 sayingH559, Upon the greatH1419 altarH4196 burn the morningH1242 burnt-offering, and the eveningH6153 oblation, and the king's burnt-offering, and his oblation, and the burnt-offering of all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and their oblation, and their drink-offerings; and sprinkleH2236 upon it all the bloodH1818 of the burnt-offerings, and all the bloodH1818 of the sacrificesH2077; and the brazen altarH4196 shall beH1961 for me to inquire [by].
16And Urijah the priestH3548 did according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 had commandedH6680.
17And kingH4428 AhazH271 cutH7112 off the panels of the bases, and removedH5493 the lavers from off them; and took down the seaH3220 from off the brazen oxenH1241 that were under it, and putH5414 it upon a stoneH68 pavement.
18And the covered way of the sabbathH7676 that they had builtH1129 in the houseH1004, and the king's entry outside, he turnedH5437 from the houseH1004 of Jehovah on account of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
