1 In the seventeenth year of the reign of Pekahson of Remaliahas king of Israel, Ahazson of Jothambecame king of Judah 2 at the age of twenty, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor sixteen years. He did not follow the good example of his ancestor King David; instead, he did what was not pleasing to the Lordhis God 3 Dt 12.31and followed the example of the kings of Israel. He even sacrificed his own son as a burnt offering to idols, imitating the disgusting practice of the people whom the Lordhad driven out of the land as the Israelites advanced. 4 At the pagan places of worship, on the hills, and under every shady tree, Ahaz offered sacrifices and burned incense.
5 Is 7.1King Rezinof Syriaand King Pekahof Israel attacked Jerusalemand besieged it, but could not defeat Ahaz. ( 6 At the same time the king of Edom16.6: Probable text the king of Edom; Hebrew King Rezin of Syria.regained control of the city of Elathand drove out the Judeans who lived there. The Edomitessettled in Elathand still live there.) 7 Ahazsent men to Tiglath Pileser, the emperor of Assyria, with this message: "I am your devoted servant. Come and rescue me from the kings of Syriaand of Israel, who are attacking me." 8 Ahaztook the silver and gold from the Temple and the palace treasury, and sent it as a present to the emperor. 9 Tiglath Pileser, in answer to Ahaz' plea, marched out with his army against Damascus, captured it, killed King Rezin, and took the people to Kiras prisoners.
10 When King Ahazwent to Damascusto meet Emperor Tiglath Pileser, he saw the altar there and sent back to Uriahthe priest an exact model of it, down to the smallest details. 11 So Uriahbuilt an altar just like it and finished it before Ahazreturned. 12 On his return from Damascus, Ahaz saw that the altar was finished, 13 so he burned animal sacrifices and grain offerings on it and poured a wine offering and the blood of a fellowship offering on it. 14 Ex 27.1,2;2 Ch 4.1The bronze altar dedicated to the Lordwas between the new altar and the Temple, so Ahaz moved it to the north side of his new altar. 15 Then he ordered Uriah: "Use this large altar of mine for the morning burnt offerings and the evening grain offerings, for the burnt offerings and grain offerings of the king and the people, and for the people’s wine offerings. Pour on it the blood of all the animals that are sacrificed. But keep the bronze altar for me to use for divination." 16 Uriahdid as the king commanded.
17 1 K 7.23-39;2 Ch 4.2-6King Ahaztook apart the bronze carts used in the Temple and removed the basins that were on them. He also took the bronze tank from the backs of the twelve bronze bulls and placed it on a stone foundation. 18 And in order to please the Assyrianemperor, Ahaz also removed from the Temple the platform for the royal throne and closed up the king’s private entrance to the Temple.16.18: Verse 18 in Hebrew is unclear.
19 Everything else that King Ahazdid is recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah. 20 Is 14.28Ahazdied and was buried in the royal tombs in David’s City, and his son Hezekiahsucceeded him as king.
