2 Kings 16:11-16

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, 1before the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus. 12And when the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar; then 2the king approached the altar and 3went up to it, 13and 4burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured out his 5drink offering and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar. 14And 6the bronze altar, which was before the Lord, 7he brought from the front of the house, from between 8his 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 9burn 10the 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 11drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice. But 12the bronze altar shall be for me, for making inquiries.” 16So Urijah the priest acted in accordance with everything that King Ahaz commanded.
