2 Kings 16:14-17
14And 1the bronze altar, which was before the Lord, 2he brought from the front of the house, from between 3his 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 4burn 5the 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 6drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice. But 7the bronze altar shall be for me, for making inquiries.” 16So Urijah the priest acted in accordance with everything that King Ahaz commanded.
17Then King Ahaz 8cut off the borders of the stands, and removed the wash basin from them; he also 9took down the 10Sea from the bronze oxen which were under it and put it on a pavement of stone.
