2 Kings 16

1 Ahaz his wicked reign. 5 Ahaz assailed by Rezin and Pekah, hireth Tiglath-pileser against them. 10 Ahaz, sending a pattern of an altar from Damascus to Urijah, diverteth the brasen altar to his own devotion. 17 He spoileth the Temple. 19 Hezekiah succeedeth him.

 16:1 ¶ In the seventeenth 7651 6240 y8141 year 8141 of Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425 Ahaz 271 the son 1121 of Jotham 3147 king 4428 of Judah 3063 began to reign. 4427 z8804

 16:2 Twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 [was] Ahaz 271 when he began to reign, 4427 z8800 and reigned 4427 z8804 sixteen 8337 6240 years 8141 in Jerusalem, 3389 and did 6213 z8804 not x3808 [that which was] right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 his God, 430 like David 1732 his father. 1

 16:3 But he walked y3212 z8799 x1980 in the way 1870 of the kings 4428 of Israel, 3478 yea, x1571 and made x853 his son 1121 to pass through 5674 z8689 the fire, 784 according to the abominations 8441 of the heathen, 1471 whom x834 x853 the LORD 3068 cast out 3423 z8689 from before 6440 x4480 the children 1121 of Israel. 3478

 16:4 And he sacrificed 2076 z8762 and burnt incense 6999 z8762 in the high places, 1116 and on x5921 the hills, 1389 and under x8478 every x3605 green 7488 tree. 6086

 16:5 ¶ Then x227 Rezin 7526 king 4428 of Syria 758 and Pekah 6492 son 1121 of Remaliah 7425 king 4428 of Israel 3478 came up 5927 z8799 to Jerusalem 3389 to war: 4421 and they besieged 6696 z8799 x5921 Ahaz, 271 but could 3201 z8804 not x3808 overcome 3898 z8736 [him].

 16:6 At that x1931 time 6256 Rezin 7526 king 4428 of Syria 758 recovered 7725 z8689 x853 Elath 359 to Syria, 758 z8675 y130 and drove 5394 z8762 x853 the Jews 3064 from Elath: 359 x4480 and the Syrians 726 came 935 z8804 to Elath, 359 and dwelt 3427 z8799 there x8033 unto x5704 this x2088 day. 3117

 16:7 So Ahaz 271 sent 7971 z8799 messengers 4397 to x413 Tiglathpileser 8407 king 4428 of Assyria, 804 saying, 559 z8800 I x589 [am] thy servant 5650 and thy son: 1121 come up, 5927 z8798 and save 3467 z8685 me out of the hand 3709 x4480 of the king 4428 of Syria, 758 and out of the hand 3709 x4480 of the king 4428 of Israel, 3478 which rise up 6965 z8801 against x5921 me.

 16:8 And Ahaz 271 took 3947 z8799 x853 the silver 3701 and gold 2091 that was found 4672 z8737 in the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and in the treasures 214 of the king's 4428 house, 1004 and sent 7971 z8799 [it for] a present 7810 to the king 4428 of Assyria. 804

 16:9 And the king 4428 of Assyria 804 hearkened 8085 z8799 unto x413 him: for the king 4428 of Assyria 804 went up 5927 z8799 against x413 Damascus, 1834 and took 8610 z8799 it, and carried [the people of] it captive 1540 z8686 to Kir, 7024 and slew 4191 z8689 Rezin. 7526

 16:10 ¶ And king 4428 Ahaz 271 went y3212 z8799 x1980 to Damascus 1834 to meet y7125 z8800 x7122 Tiglathpileser 8407 king 4428 of Assyria, 804 and saw 7200 z8799 x853 an altar 4196 that x834 [was] at Damascus: 1834 and king 4428 Ahaz 271 sent 7971 z8799 to x413 Urijah 223 the priest 3548 x853 the fashion 1823 of the altar, 4196 and the pattern 8403 of it, according to all x3605 the workmanship 4639 thereof.

 16:11 And Urijah 223 the priest 3548 built 1129 z8799 x853 an altar 4196 according to all x3605 that x834 king 4428 Ahaz 271 had sent 7971 z8804 from Damascus: 1834 x4480 so x3651 Urijah 223 the priest 3548 made 6213 z8804 [it] against x5704 king 4428 Ahaz 271 came 935 z8800 from Damascus. 1834 x4480

 16:12 And when the king 4428 was come 935 z8799 from Damascus, 1834 x4480 the king 4428 saw 7200 z8799 x853 the altar: 4196 and the king 4428 approached 7126 z8799 to x5921 the altar, 4196 and offered 5927 z8686 thereon. x5921

 16:13 And he burnt 6999 z8686 x853 his burnt offering 5930 and his meat offering, 4503 and poured 5258 z8686 x853 his drink offering, 5262 and sprinkled 2236 z8799 x853 the blood 1818 of his x834 peace offerings, 8002 upon x5921 the altar. 4196

 16:14 And he brought 7126 z8686 also the brazen 5178 altar, 4196 which x834 [was] before 6440 the LORD, 3068 from x4480 x854 the forefront 6440 of the house, 1004 from between x4480 x996 the altar 4196 and the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and put 5414 z8799 it on x5921 the north 6828 side 3409 of the altar. 4196

 16:15 And king 4428 Ahaz 271 commanded 6680 z8762 x853 Urijah 223 the priest, 3548 saying, 559 z8800 Upon x5921 the great 1419 altar 4196 burn 6999 z8685 x853 the morning 1242 burnt offering, 5930 and the evening 6153 meat offering, 4503 and the king's 4428 burnt sacrifice, 5930 and his meat offering, 4503 with the burnt offering 5930 of all x3605 the people 5971 of the land, 776 and their meat offering, 4503 and their drink offerings; 5262 and sprinkle 2236 z8799 upon x5921 it all x3605 the blood 1818 of the burnt offering, 5930 and all x3605 the blood 1818 of the sacrifice: 2077 and the brazen 5178 altar 4196 shall be x1961 for me to inquire 1239 z8763 [by].

 16:16 Thus did 6213 z8799 Urijah 223 the priest, 3548 according to all x3605 that x834 king 4428 Ahaz 271 commanded. 6680 z8765

 16:17 ¶ And king 4428 Ahaz 271 cut off 7112 z8762 x853 the borders 4526 of the bases, 4350 and removed 5493 z8686 the laver 3595 from off x4480 x5921 them; and took down 3381 z8689 the sea 3220 from off x4480 x5921 the brazen 5178 oxen 1241 that x834 [were] under x8478 it, and put 5414 z8799 it upon x5921 a pavement 4837 of stones. 68

 16:18 And the covert 4329 z8675 for the sabbath 7676 that x834 they had built 1129 z8804 in the house, 1004 and the king's 4428 entry 3996 without, 2435 turned 5437 z8689 he from the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 for 6440 x4480 the king 4428 of Assyria. 804

 16:19 ¶ Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Ahaz 271 which x834 he did, 6213 z8804 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah? 3063

 16:20 And Ahaz 271 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and was buried 6912 z8735 with x5973 his fathers 1 in the city 5892 of David: 1732 and Hezekiah 2396 his son 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478
