Dual Panel1In the seventeenth <07651> <06240> <08141> year <08141> of Pekah <06492> the son <01121> of Remaliah <07425> Ahaz <0271> the son <01121> of Jotham <03147> king <04428> of Judah <03063> began to reign <04427> (8804)_.
2Twenty <06242> years <08141> old <01121> [was] Ahaz <0271> when he began to reign <04427> (8800)_, and reigned <04427> (8804) sixteen <08337> <06240> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>_, and did <06213> (8804) not [that which was] right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> his God <0430>_, like David <01732> his father <01>_.
3But he walked <03212> (8799) in the way <01870> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>_, yea, and made his son <01121> to pass through <05674> (8689) the fire <0784>_, according to the abominations <08441> of the heathen <01471>_, whom the LORD <03068> cast out <03423> (8689) from before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>_.
4And he sacrificed <02076> (8762) and burnt incense <06999> (8762) in the high places <01116>_, and on the hills <01389>_, and under every green <07488> tree <06086>_.
5Then Rezin <07526> king <04428> of Syria <0758> and Pekah <06492> son <01121> of Remaliah <07425> king <04428> of Israel <03478> came up <05927> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389> to war <04421>_: and they besieged <06696> (8799) Ahaz <0271>_, but could <03201> (8804) not overcome <03898> (8736) [him].
6At that time <06256> Rezin <07526> king <04428> of Syria <0758> recovered <07725> (8689) Elath <0359> to Syria <0758> (8675) <0130>_, and drave <05394> (8762) the Jews <03064> from Elath <0359>_: and the Syrians <0726> came <0935> (8804) to Elath <0359>_, and dwelt <03427> (8799) there unto this day <03117>_. {from Elath: Heb. from Eloth}
7So Ahaz <0271> sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> to Tiglathpileser <08407> king <04428> of Assyria <0804>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, I [am] thy servant <05650> and thy son <01121>_: come up <05927> (8798)_, and save <03467> (8685) me out of the hand <03709> of the king <04428> of Syria <0758>_, and out of the hand <03709> of the king <04428> of Israel <03478>_, which rise up <06965> (8801) against me.
8And Ahaz <0271> took <03947> (8799) the silver <03701> and gold <02091> that was found <04672> (8737) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, and in the treasures <0214> of the king's <04428> house <01004>_, and sent <07971> (8799) [it for] a present <07810> to the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>_.
9And the king <04428> of Assyria <0804> hearkened <08085> (8799) unto him: for the king <04428> of Assyria <0804> went up <05927> (8799) against Damascus <01834>_, and took <08610> (8799) it, and carried [the people of] it captive <01540> (8686) to Kir <07024>_, and slew <04191> (8689) Rezin <07526>_. {Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}
10And king <04428> Ahaz <0271> went <03212> (8799) to Damascus <01834> to meet <07125> (8800) Tiglathpileser <08407> king <04428> of Assyria <0804>_, and saw <07200> (8799) an altar <04196> that [was] at Damascus <01834>_: and king <04428> Ahaz <0271> sent <07971> (8799) to Urijah <0223> the priest <03548> the fashion <01823> of the altar <04196>_, and the pattern <08403> of it, according to all the workmanship <04639> thereof. {Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}
11And Urijah <0223> the priest <03548> built <01129> (8799) an altar <04196> according to all that king <04428> Ahaz <0271> had sent <07971> (8804) from Damascus <01834>_: so Urijah <0223> the priest <03548> made <06213> (8804) [it] against king <04428> Ahaz <0271> came <0935> (8800) from Damascus <01834>_.
12And when the king <04428> was come <0935> (8799) from Damascus <01834>_, the king <04428> saw <07200> (8799) the altar <04196>_: and the king <04428> approached <07126> (8799) to the altar <04196>_, and offered <05927> (8686) thereon.
13And he burnt <06999> (8686) his burnt offering <05930> and his meat offering <04503>_, and poured <05258> (8686) his drink offering <05262>_, and sprinkled <02236> (8799) the blood <01818> of his peace offerings <08002>_, upon the altar <04196>_. {his peace offerings: Heb. the peace offerings which were his}
14And he brought <07126> (8686) also the brasen <05178> altar <04196>_, which [was] before <06440> the LORD <03068>_, from the forefront <06440> of the house <01004>_, from between the altar <04196> and the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, and put <05414> (8799) it on the north <06828> side <03409> of the altar <04196>_.
15And king <04428> Ahaz <0271> commanded <06680> (8762) Urijah <0223> the priest <03548>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Upon the great <01419> altar <04196> burn <06999> (8685) the morning <01242> burnt offering <05930>_, and the evening <06153> meat offering <04503>_, and the king's <04428> burnt sacrifice <05930>_, and his meat offering <04503>_, with the burnt offering <05930> of all the people <05971> of the land <0776>_, and their meat offering <04503>_, and their drink offerings <05262>_; and sprinkle <02236> (8799) upon it all the blood <01818> of the burnt offering <05930>_, and all the blood <01818> of the sacrifice <02077>_: and the brasen <05178> altar <04196> shall be for me to enquire <01239> (8763) [by].
16Thus did <06213> (8799) Urijah <0223> the priest <03548>_, according to all that king <04428> Ahaz <0271> commanded <06680> (8765)_.
17And king <04428> Ahaz <0271> cut off <07112> (8762) the borders <04526> of the bases <04350>_, and removed <05493> (8686) the laver <03595> from off them; and took down <03381> (8689) the sea <03220> from off the brasen <05178> oxen <01241> that [were] under it, and put <05414> (8799) it upon a pavement <04837> of stones <068>_.
18And the covert <04329> (8675) <04329> for the sabbath <07676> that they had built <01129> (8804) in the house <01004>_, and the king's <04428> entry <03996> without <02435>_, turned <05437> (8689) he from the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> for <06440> the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>_.
19Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Ahaz <0271> which he did <06213> (8804)_, [are] they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063>_?
20And Ahaz <0271> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>_, and was buried <06912> (8735) with his fathers <01> in the city <05892> of David <01732>_: and Hezekiah <02396> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
