8And AhazH271 tookH3947 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and in the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and sentH7971 it for a presentH7810 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. 9And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 hearkenedH8085 unto him: for the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 went upH5927 against DamascusH1834, and tookH8610 it, and carried the people of it captiveH1540 to KirH7024, and slewH4191 RezinH7526.1
10And kingH4428 AhazH271 wentH3212 to DamascusH1834 to meetH7125 Tiglath–pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and sawH7200 an altarH4196 that was at DamascusH1834: and kingH4428 AhazH271 sentH7971 to UrijahH223 the priestH3548 the fashionH1823 of the altarH4196, and the patternH8403 of it, according to all the workmanshipH4639 thereof.2 11And UrijahH223 the priestH3548 builtH1129 an altarH4196 according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 had sentH7971 from DamascusH1834: so UrijahH223 the priestH3548 madeH6213 it against kingH4428 AhazH271 cameH935 from DamascusH1834. 12And when the kingH4428 was comeH935 from DamascusH1834, the kingH4428 sawH7200 the altarH4196: and the kingH4428 approachedH7126 to the altarH4196, and offeredH5927 thereon. 13And he burntH6999 his burnt offeringH5930 and his grain offeringH4503, and pouredH5258 his drink offeringH5262, and sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 of his peace offeringsH8002, upon the altarH4196.3 14And he broughtH7126 also the brasenH5178 altarH4196, which was beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, from the forefrontH6440 of the houseH1004, from between the altarH4196 and the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and putH5414 it on the northH6828 sideH3409 of the altarH4196. 15And kingH4428 AhazH271 commandedH6680 UrijahH223 the priestH3548, sayingH559, Upon the greatH1419 altarH4196 burnH6999 the morningH1242 burnt offeringH5930, and the eveningH6153 grain offeringH4503, and the king’sH4428 burnt sacrificeH5930, and his grain offeringH4503, with the burnt offeringH5930 of all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and their grain offeringH4503, and their drink offeringsH5262; and sprinkleH2236 upon it all the bloodH1818 of the burnt offeringH5930, and all the bloodH1818 of the sacrificeH2077: and the brasenH5178 altarH4196 shall be for me to enquireH1239 by. 16Thus didH6213 UrijahH223 the priestH3548, according to all that kingH4428 AhazH271 commandedH6680.
17And kingH4428 AhazH271 cut offH7112 the bordersH4526 of the basesH4350, and removedH5493 the laverH3595 from off them; and took downH3381 the seaH3220 from off the brasenH5178 oxenH1241 that were under it, and putH5414 it upon a pavementH4837 of stonesH68. 18And the covertH4329 for the sabbathH7676 that they had builtH1129 in the houseH1004, and the king’sH4428 entryH3996 withoutH2435, turnedH5437 he from the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 forH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
19Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AhazH271 which he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
