◄ H271 ►

And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and H271 his son reigned in his stead.

In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah H271 the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

Twenty years old was H271 when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged H271, but could not overcome him.

So H271 sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.

And H271 took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

And king H271 went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king H271 sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.

And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king H271 had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king H271 came from Damascus.

And king H271 commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to inquire by.

Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king H271 commanded.
