2 Kings 16:5-12
5ThenH227 1RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of AramH758 and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, wentH5927 upH5927 to JerusalemH3389 for warH4421; and they besiegedH6696H5921 AhazH271, 2but 3wereH3201 not capableH3201 of fightingH3898 him. 6At that timeH6256 RezinH7526 kingH4428 of AramH758 restoredH7725 4ElathH365 to AramH758, and droveH5394 the JudeansH3064 awayH5394 from 5ElathH359; and the 6ArameansH130 cameH935 to ElathH365 and have livedH3427 thereH8033 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
77So AhazH271 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to 8Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, sayingH559, “I am your servantH5650 and your sonH1121; comeH5927 upH5927 and saveH3467 me from the 9handH3709 of the kingH4428 of AramH758, and from the 10handH3709 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who are risingH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 me.” 8And 11AhazH271 tookH3947 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and in the treasuriesH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 a giftH7810 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 912So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 listenedH8085 to him; and the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 wentH5927 upH5927 againstH413 DamascusH1834 and 13capturedH8610 it, and ledH1540 the people of it intoH1540 exileH1540 to 14KirH7024, and putH4191 RezinH7526 toH4191 deathH4191.
10Now KingH4428 AhazH271 wentH1980 to DamascusH1834 to meetH7122 15Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and he sawH7200 the altarH4196 whichH834 was at DamascusH1834; and KingH4428 AhazH271 sentH7971 to 16UrijahH223 the priestH3548 the 17patternH1823 of the altarH4196 and its modelH8403, according to allH3605 its workmanshipH4639. 11So UrijahH223 the priestH3548 builtH1129 an altarH4196; according to everythingH3605 that KingH4428 AhazH271 had sentH7971 from DamascusH1834, inH3651 thatH3651 wayH3651 UrijahH223 the priestH3548 madeH6213 it, 18beforeH5704 the comingH935 of KingH4428 AhazH271 from DamascusH1834. 12And when the kingH4428 cameH935 from DamascusH1834, the kingH4428 sawH7200 the altarH4196; then 19the kingH4428 approachedH7126 the altarH4196 and 20wentH5927 upH5927 to it,
