2 Kings 16:10-16
10Now King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet 1Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he saw the altar which was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to 2Urijah the priest the 3pattern of the altar and its model, according to all its workmanship. 11So Urijah the priest built an altar; according to everything that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, in that way Urijah the priest made it, 4before the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus. 12And when the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar; then 5the king approached the altar and 6went up to it, 13and 7burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured out his 8drink offering and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar. 14And 9the bronze altar, which was before the Lord, 10he brought from the front of the house, from between 11his altar and the house of the Lord, and he put it on the north side of his altar. 15Then King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “Upon the great altar 12burn 13the morning burnt offering, the evening meal offering, the king’s burnt offering and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their meal offering, and their 14drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice. But 15the bronze altar shall be for me, for making inquiries.” 16So Urijah the priest acted in accordance with everything that King Ahaz commanded.
