12:016:008 And Ahaz 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.
12:016:009 And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of
Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the
people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.
12:016:010 And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.
12:016:011 And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that
king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it
against king Ahaz came from Damascus.
12:016:012 And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the
altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered
thereon.
12:016:013 And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and
poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his
peace offerings, upon the altar.
12:016:014 And he brought also the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.
12:016:015 And king Ahaz 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 enquire by.
12:016:016 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
12:016:017 And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon the pavement of stones.
