2 Kings 16:10-20 - Damascus Falls To The Assyrians
10 Then King Ahaz went to Damascus for a meeting with Tiglathpileser king of Assyria. There he saw the altar at Damascus. King Ahaz sent a drawing of the altar, giving the design of it and all the details of its structure to Urijah the priest. 11 Urijah made an altar from the drawing King Ahaz sent from Damascus. He had it ready by the time King Ahaz came back from Damascus. 12 When the king came from Damascus, he saw the altar. He went up on it and made an offering. 13 He made his burned offering and his meal offering and his drink offering there, draining out the blood of his peace offerings on the altar. 14 He removed the copper alter that was before Jehovah from the front of the Temple between his altar and the Temple of Jehovah. He put it on the north side of his altar.
15 King Ahaz gave orders to Urijah the priest: Make the morning burned offering and the evening meal offering and the king's burned offering and meal offering, with the burned offerings of all the people and their meal offerings and drink offerings, on the great altar. Put on it all the blood of the burned offerings and of the animals that are offered. But the bronze altar will be for my use to get directions from Jehovah. 16 Urijah the priest did everything as the king said. 17 King Ahaz took off the sides of the wheeled bases, and took down the great water-vessel from off the copper bulls which were under it and put it on a floor of stone. 18 He removed the covered way they built in the Temple court and the king's outer entrance. This was because of the king of Assyria.
19 The rest of the things Ahaz did are recorded in the Book of the History of the Kings of Judah. 20 Ahaz slept with his fathers. He was buried in the town of David. Hezekiah his son became king in his place.
