2 Kings 16:3-10

3But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, 1and he even made his son pass through the fire, 2in accordance with the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had 3driven out before the sons of Israel. 4And he 4sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

5Then 5Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem for war; and they besieged Ahaz, 6but 7were not capable of fighting him. 6At that time Rezin king of Aram restored 8Elath to Aram, and drove the Judeans away from 9Elath; and the 10Arameans came to Elath and have lived there to this day.

711So Ahaz sent messengers to 12Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son; come up and save me from the 13hand of the king of Aram, and from the 14hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.” 8And 15Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king’s house, and sent a gift to the king of Assyria. 916So the king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus and 17captured it, and led the people of it into exile to 18Kir, and put Rezin to death.

10Now King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet 19Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he saw the altar which was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to 20Urijah the priest the 21pattern of the altar and its model, according to all its workmanship.
