[1] In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. [2] Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in Yahweh his God’s eyes, like David his father. [3] But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel. [4] He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree. [5] Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war. They besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him. [6] At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and live there to this day. [7] So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.” [8] Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in Yahweh’s house, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria. [9] The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin. [10] King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a drawing of the altar and plans to build it. [11] Urijah the priest built an altar. According to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus. [12] When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king came near to the altar, and offered on it. [13] He burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar. [14] The bronze altar, which was before Yahweh, he brought from the front of the house, from between his altar and Yahweh’s house, and put it on the north side of his altar. [15] King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the 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 drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar will be for me to inquire by.” [16] Urijah the priest did so, according to all that King Ahaz commanded. [17] King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone. [18] He removed the covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s outer entrance to Yahweh’s house, because of the king of Assyria. [19] Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [20] Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

Ahaz

[1] In the seventeenth H7651 H6240 H8141 year H8141 of Pekah H6492 the son H1121 of Remaliah H7425 Ahaz H271 the son H1121 of Jotham H3147 king H4428 of Judah H3063 began to reign. H4427 [2] Twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 was Ahaz H271 when he began to reign, H4427 and reigned H4427 sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem, H3389 and did H6213 not that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the Lord H3068 his God, H430 like David H1732 his father. H1 [3] But he walked H3212 in the way H1870 of the kings H4428 of Israel, H3478 yea, and made his son H1121 to pass through H5674 the fire, H784 according to the abominations H8441 of the heathen, H1471 whom H834 the Lord H3068 cast out H3423 from before H6440 the children H1121 of Israel. H3478 [4] And he sacrificed H2076 and burnt incense H6999 in the high places, H1116 and on the hills, H1389 and under every green H7488 tree. H6086 [5] Then H227 Rezin H7526 king H4428 of Syria H758 and Pekah H6492 son H1121 of Remaliah H7425 king H4428 of Israel H3478 came up H5927 to Jerusalem H3389 to war: H4421 and they besieged H6696 Ahaz, H271 but could H3201 not H3808 overcome H3898 him. [6] At that time H6256 Rezin H7526 king H4428 of Syria H758 recovered H7725 Elath H359 to Syria, H758 H130 and drave H5394 H853 the Jews H3064 from Elath: H359 and the Syrians H726 came H935 to Elath, H359 and dwelt H3427 there H8033 unto H5704 this H2088 day. H3117 [7] So Ahaz H271 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to Tiglath-pileser H8407 king H4428 of Assyria, H804 saying, H559 I am thy servant H5650 and thy son: H1121 come up, H5927 and save H3467 me out of the hand H3709 of the king H4428 of Syria, H758 and out of the hand H3709 of the king H4428 of Israel, H3478 which rise up H6965 against me. [8] And Ahaz H271 took H3947 H853 the silver H3701 and gold H2091 that was found H4672 in the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 and in the treasures H214 of the king’s H4428 house, H1004 and sent H7971 it for a present H7810 to the king H4428 of Assyria. H804 [9] And the king H4428 of Assyria H804 hearkened H8085 unto H413 him: for the king H4428 of Assyria H804 went up H5927 against Damascus, H1834 and took H8610 it, and carried the people of it captive H1540 to Kir, H7024 and slew H4191 Rezin. H7526 [10] And king H4428 Ahaz H271 went H3212 to Damascus H1834§ to meet H7125 Tiglath-pileser H8407 king H4428 of Assyria, H804 and saw H7200 an altar H4196 that was at Damascus: H1834 and king H4428 Ahaz H271 sent H7971 to Urijah H223 the priest H3548 H853 the fashion H1823 of the altar, H4196 and the pattern H8403 of it, according to all the workmanship H4639 thereof. [11] And Urijah H223 the priest H3548 built H1129 H853 an altar H4196 according to all that king H4428 Ahaz H271 had sent H7971 from Damascus: H1834 so H3651 Urijah H223 the priest H3548 made H6213 it against king H4428 Ahaz H271 came H935 from Damascus. H1834 [12] And when the king H4428 was come H935 from Damascus, H1834 the king H4428 saw H7200 the altar: H4196 and the king H4428 approached H7126 to the altar, H4196 and offered H5927 thereon. [13] And he burnt H6999 H853 his§ burnt offering H5930 and his meat offering, H4503 and poured H5258 H853 his drink offering, H5262 and sprinkled H2236 H853 the blood H1818 of his peace offerings, H8002 upon H5921 the altar. H4196 [14] And he brought H7126 also the brasen H5178 altar, H4196 which was before H6440 the Lord, H3068 from the forefront H6440 of the house, H1004 from between the altar H4196 and the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 and put H5414 it on the north H6828 side H3409 of the altar. H4196 [15] And king H4428 Ahaz H271 commanded H6680 H853 Urijah H223 the priest, H3548 saying, H559 Upon H5921 the great H1419 altar H4196 burn H6999 the morning H1242 burnt offering, H5930 and the evening H6153 meat offering, H4503 and the king’s H4428 burnt sacrifice, H5930 and his meat offering, H4503 with the burnt offering H5930 of all the people H5971 of the land, H776 and their meat offering, H4503 and their drink offerings; H5262 and sprinkle H2236 upon H5921 it all the blood H1818 of the burnt offering, H5930 and all the blood H1818 of the sacrifice: H2077 and the brasen H5178 altar H4196 shall be for me to enquire H1239 by. [16] Thus did H6213 Urijah H223 the priest, H3548 according to all that king H4428 Ahaz H271 commanded. H6680 [17] And king H4428 Ahaz H271 cut off H7112 H853 the borders H4526 of the bases, H4350 and removed H5493 H853 the laver H3595 from off them; and took down H3381 the sea H3220 from off the brasen H5178 oxen H1241 that were under it, and put H5414 it upon a pavement H4837 of stones. H68 [18] And the covert H4329 H4329 for the sabbath H7676 that they had built H1129 in the house, H1004 and the king’s H4428 entry H3996 without, H2435 turned H5437 he from the house H1004 of the Lord H3068 for H6440 the king H4428 of Assyria. H804 [19] Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Ahaz H271 which H834 he did, H6213 are they not written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah? H3063 [20] And Ahaz H271 slept H7901 with H5973 his fathers, H1 and was buried H6912 with H5973 his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David: H1732 and Hezekiah H2396 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead.
