9The 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.
10And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians at Damascus; and he saw an altar at Damascus. And king Achaz sent to Urias the priest the pattern of the altar, and its proportions, and all its workmanship.
10King 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.
11And Urias the priest built the altar, according to all [the directions] which king Achaz sent from Damascus.
11Urijah 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.
12And the king saw the altar, and went up to it,
12When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king came near to the altar, and offered on it.
13and offered his whole-burnt -offering, and his meat-offering, and his drink -offering, and poured out the blood of his peace -offerings on the brazen altar that was before the Lord.
13He burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.
14And he brought forward [the one] before the house of the Lord from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and he set it openly by the side of the altar northwards.
14The 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.
15And king Achaz charged Urias the priest, saying, Offer upon the great altar the whole-burnt -offering in the morning and the meat-offering in the evening , and the whole-burnt -offering of the king, and his meat-offering, and the whole-burnt -offering of all the people , and their meat-offering, and their drink-offering; and thou shalt pour all the blood of the whole-burnt -offering, and all the blood of [any other] sacrifice upon it: and the brazen altar shall be for me in the morning.
15King 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.”
16And Urias the priest did according to all that king Achaz commanded him.
16Urijah the priest did so, according to all that King Ahaz commanded.
17And king Achaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them, and took down the sea from the brazen oxen that were under it, and set it upon a base of stone.
17King 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.
18And he made a base for the throne in the house of the Lord, and he turned the king's entrance without in the house of the Lord because of the king of the Assyrians.
18He 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.
19And the rest of the acts of Achaz, even all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
19Now 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?
20And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Ezekias his son reigned in his stead.
20Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
