2 Kings 16:9-16
91So the king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus and 2captured it, and led the people of it into exile to 3Kir, and put Rezin to death.
10Now King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet 4Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he saw the altar which was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to 5Urijah the priest the 6pattern 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, 7before the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus. 12And when the king came from Damascus, the king saw the altar; then 8the king approached the altar and 9went up to it, 13and 10burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured out his 11drink offering and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar. 14And 12the bronze altar, which was before the Lord, 13he brought from the front of the house, from between 14his 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 15burn 16the 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 17drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice. But 18the bronze altar shall be for me, for making inquiries.” 16So Urijah the priest acted in accordance with everything that King Ahaz commanded.
