1 In the seventeenth year of Pekahson of Remaliah, Ahazson of Jothambecame king of Judah. 2 Ahazwas twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalemsixteen years. And unlike Davidhis father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God. 3 Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire,16:3 Literally made his son pass through the fireaccording to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. 4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Then Rezinking of Aramand Pekahson of Remaliahking of Israel came up to wage war against Jerusalem. They besieged Ahazbut could not overcome him.
6 At that time Rezinking of Aramrecovered Elath16:6 Elath is a variant of Eloth; see 1 Kings 9:26.for Aram,16:6 Or Syriadrove out the men of Judah, and sent the Edomitesinto Elath, where they live to this day.
7 So Ahazsent messengers to Tiglath-pileserking of Assyria, saying, "I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me from the hands of the kings of Aramand Israel, who are rising up against me."
8 Ahazalso took the silver and gold found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the king’s palace, and he sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria. 9 So the king of Assyriaresponded to him, marched up to Damascus, and captured it. He took its people to Kiras captives and put Rezinto death.
The Idolatry of Ahaz
10 Then King Ahazwent to Damascusto meet Tiglath-pileserking of Assyria. On seeing the altar in Damascus, King Ahazsent Uriahthe priest a model of the altar and complete plans for its construction. 11 And Uriahthe priest built the altar according to all the instructions King Ahazhad sent from Damascus, and he completed it before King Ahazreturned.
12 When the king came back from Damascusand saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it. 13 He offered his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and splattered the blood of his peace offerings on the altar. 14 He also took the bronze altar that stood before the LORD from the front of the temple (between the new altar and the house of the LORD) and he put it on the north side of the new altar.
15 Then King Ahazcommanded Uriahthe priest, "Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, and the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, as well as the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings of all the people of the land. Splatter on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to seek guidance."
16 So Uriahthe priest did just as King Ahazhad commanded.
17 King Ahazalso cut off the frames of the movable stands and removed the bronze basin from each of them. He took down the Sea from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone base. 18 And on account of the king of Assyria, he removed the Sabbath canopy16:18 Or the base of his throne; see also LXX.they had built in the temple and closed the royal entryway outside the house of the LORD.
19 As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
20 And Ahazrested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David, and his son Hezekiahreigned in his place.
