1 In the seventeenth 7651 6240 8141 year 8141 of Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425 Ahaz 271 the son 1121 of Jotham 3147 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began to reign 4427.
2 Twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 was Ahaz 271 when he began to reign 4427, and reigned 4427 sixteen 8337 6240 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389, and did 6213 not that which was right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 his God 430, like David 1732 his father 1.
3 But he walked 3212 in the way 1870 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478, yea, and made his son 1121 to pass through 5674 the fire 784, according to the abominations 8441 of the heathen 1471, whom the LORD 3068 cast out 3423 from before 6440 the children 1121 of Israel 3478.
4 And he sacrificed 2076 and burnt incense 6999 in the high places 1116, and on the hills 1389, and under every green 7488 tree 6086.
5 Then Rezin 7526 king 4428 of Syria 758 and Pekah 6492 son 1121 of Remaliah 7425 king 4428 of Israel 3478 came up 5927 to Jerusalem 3389 to war 4421: and they besieged 6696 Ahaz 271, but could 3201 not overcome 3898 him.
6 At that time 6256 Rezin 7526 king 4428 of Syria 758 recovered 7725 Elath 359 to Syria 758 130, and drave 5394 the Jews 3064 from Elath 359: and the Syrians 726 came 935 to Elath 359, and dwelt 3427 there unto this day 3117.
7 So Ahaz 271 sent 7971 messengers 4397 to Tiglathpileser 8407 king 4428 of Assyria 804, saying 559, I am thy servant 5650 and thy son 1121: come up 5927, and save 3467 me out of the hand 3709 of the king 4428 of Syria 758, and out of the hand 3709 of the king 4428 of Israel 3478, which rise up 6965 against me.
8 And Ahaz 271 took 3947 the silver 3701 and gold 2091 that was found 4672 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and in the treasures 214 of the king's 4428 house 1004, and sent 7971 it for a present 7810 to the king 4428 of Assyria 804.
9 And the king 4428 of Assyria 804 hearkened 8085 unto him: for the king 4428 of Assyria 804 went up 5927 against Damascus 1834, and took 8610 it, and carried the people of it captive 1540 to Kir 7024, and slew 4191 Rezin 7526.
10 And king 4428 Ahaz 271 went 3212 to Damascus 1834 to meet 7125 Tiglathpileser 8407 king 4428 of Assyria 804, and saw 7200 an altar 4196 that was at Damascus 1834: and king 4428 Ahaz 271 sent 7971 to Urijah 223 the priest 3548 the fashion 1823 of the altar 4196, and the pattern 8403 of it, according to all the workmanship 4639 thereof.
11 And Urijah 223 the priest 3548 built 1129 an altar 4196 according to all that king 4428 Ahaz 271 had sent 7971 from Damascus 1834: so Urijah 223 the priest 3548 made 6213 it against king 4428 Ahaz 271 came 935 from Damascus 1834.
12 And when the king 4428 was come 935 from Damascus 1834, the king 4428 saw 7200 the altar 4196: and the king 4428 approached 7126 to the altar 4196, and offered 5927 thereon.
13 And he burnt 6999 his burnt offering 5930 and his meat offering 4503, and poured 5258 his drink offering 5262, and sprinkled 2236 the blood 1818 of his peace offerings 8002, upon the altar 4196.
14 And he brought 7126 also the brasen 5178 altar 4196, which was before 6440 the LORD 3068, from the forefront 6440 of the house 1004, from between the altar 4196 and the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and put 5414 it on the north 6828 side 3409 of the altar 4196.
15 And king 4428 Ahaz 271 commanded 6680 Urijah 223 the priest 3548, saying 559, Upon the great 1419 altar 4196 burn 6999 the morning 1242 burnt offering 5930, and the evening 6153 meat offering 4503, and the king's 4428 burnt sacrifice 5930, and his meat offering 4503, with the burnt offering 5930 of all the people 5971 of the land 776, and their meat offering 4503, and their drink offerings 5262; and sprinkle 2236 upon it all the blood 1818 of the burnt offering 5930, and all the blood 1818 of the sacrifice 2077: and the brasen 5178 altar 4196 shall be for me to enquire 1239 by.
16 Thus did 6213 Urijah 223 the priest 3548, according to all that king 4428 Ahaz 271 commanded 6680.
17 And king 4428 Ahaz 271 cut off 7112 the borders 4526 of the bases 4350, and removed 5493 the laver 3595 from off them; and took down 3381 the sea 3220 from off the brasen 5178 oxen 1241 that were under it, and put 5414 it upon a pavement 4837 of stones 68.
18 And the covert 4329 4329 for the sabbath 7676 that they had built 1129 in the house 1004, and the king's 4428 entry 3996 without 2435, turned 5437 he from the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 for 6440 the king 4428 of Assyria 804.
19 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Ahaz 271 which he did 6213, are they not written 3789 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063?
20 And Ahaz 271 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and was buried 6912 with his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of David 1732: and Hezekiah 2396 his son 1121 reigned 4427 in his stead.
