Berean Standard Bible
In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah reigned
hath
Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah.
In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah ,
Ahaz son of Jotham became
king of Judah.
A
son
of
twenty years `is'
Ahaz
in
his
reigning
, and sixteen
years
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem ,
and he hath
not done
that
which
`is'
right in the eyes of Jehovah
his God ,
like
David
his
father,
Ahaz
was
twenty years old
when
he
became
king
, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen
years.
And unlike
David
his
father,
he did
not do
what
was
right in the eyes of the
LORD
his God .
and
he walketh
in the way
of the kings of Israel ,
and also
his son he
hath
caused
to
pass
over
into
fire, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah
dispossessed
from
the presence
of
the sons
of
Israel,
Instead,
he walked
in the ways
of the kings of Israel and even
sacrificed
his son in
the
fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD
had
driven
out
before
the Israelites.
and he sacrificeth
and maketh
perfume
in
high places, and
on the heights
, and under every green tree.
And he sacrificed
and burned
incense
on
the
high places, on the hills
, and under every green tree.
Then doth
Rezin king of Aram go
up,
and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel ,
to Jerusalem ,
to
battle,
and
they lay
siege
to
Ahaz ,
and
they
have
not been
able
to
fight
.
Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came
up
to wage
war
against
Jerusalem .
They besieged
Ahaz but
could
not overcome
him
.
At that time hath
Rezin king of Aram brought
back
Elath to
Aram, and
casteth
out the Jews
from
Elath
, and the Aramaeans
have
come
in
to
Elath, and
dwell
there
unto
this day.
At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered
Elath for
Aram, drove
out the men
of
Judah
, and sent
the Edomites
into
Elath, where
they
live
to
this day.
And
Ahaz sendeth
messengers unto
Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur
, saying, `Thy
servant and thy
son `am'
I;
come up and save me out
of
the hand
of the king
of Aram ,
and out
of
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Israel, who are rising up against me. '
So
Ahaz sent
messengers to
Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria
, saying, “I
am
your
servant and your
son .
Come up and save me from
the hands
of the kings
of Aram and Israel, who are rising up against me. ”
And
Ahaz taketh
the silver and the
gold that
is
found in the house of Jehovah,
and in the treasures
of
the
house
of the king
, and sendeth
to the king of Asshur
--
a
bribe
.
Ahaz also
took
the silver and gold found in the house of the
LORD
and in the treasuries
of the king’s
palace
, and he
sent
it
as
a
gift
to the king of Assyria
.
And
hearken
unto
him
doth
the king of Asshur
, and
the
king
of
Asshur
goeth
up unto
Damascus, and seizeth
it ,
and
removeth
`the
people of'
it
to Kir ,
and Rezin
he
hath
put to death.
So
the king of Assyria
responded
to
him
, marched
up to
Damascus, and captured
it .
He
took
its
people to Kir as
captives
and put Rezin
to death.
And
king Ahaz goeth
to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur
`at'
Damascus,
and
seeth
the altar that
`is'
in Damascus, and
king Ahaz sendeth
unto
Urijah
the priest the
likeness
of the altar ,
and its
pattern,
according
to
all
its work,
Then
King Ahaz went
to Damascus
to
meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria.
On
seeing
the altar in Damascus, King Ahaz sent
Uriah
the priest a
model
of the altar and complete
plans
for
its construction.
and Urijah
the priest buildeth
the altar according to all that
king Ahaz hath
sent from Damascus ;
so
did
Urijah
the
priest
till
the coming
in
of
king Ahaz from
Damascus
.
And Uriah
the priest built
the altar according to all the
instructions
King Ahaz had
sent from Damascus ,
and
he
completed
it
by
the time
King Ahaz had
returned
.
And
the king cometh
in
from Damascus ,
and the
king
seeth
the
altar,
and
the
king
draweth
near
on
the altar, and offereth
on it ,
When
the king came
back
from Damascus and saw
the altar, he
approached
it
and presented
offerings
on it .
and
perfumeth
his burnt -
offering ,
and his present
, and
poureth
out his libation
, and sprinkleth
the blood of the
peace -
offerings that
he
hath,
on the altar.
He
offered
his burnt offering and his grain
offering
, poured
out his drink
offering
, and sprinkled
the blood of his
peace offerings on the altar.
As
to
the altar of
brass
that `is'
before Jehovah
--
he
bringeth
`it'
near
from the front of the house,
from
between the altar and the house of Jehovah,
and putteth
it on the side of the altar ,
northward
.
He
also
took
the bronze
altar that stood
before the
LORD
from the front of the temple
(
between the new
altar and the house of the
LORD)
and he
put
it on the north
side of the new
altar.
And
king Ahaz commandeth
him
--
Urijah
the priest --
saying
, `
On the great altar perfume
the burnt -
offering of
the
morning
, and
the present
of
the
evening, and the burnt -
offering of
the
king,
and his
present
, and
the burnt -offering
of all the people of the land ,
and
their
present,
and
their
libations;
and
all
the
blood
of
the burnt-offering,
and
all the blood of the sacrifice,
on
it
thou
dost
sprinkle,
and the altar of
brass
is
to me
to
inquire
`by'
. '
Then
King Ahaz commanded
Uriah
the priest, “Offer
on the great altar the morning
burnt offering, the evening grain
offering
, and the king’s
burnt offering and grain
offering
, as
well
as
the burnt offerings,
grain
offerings,
and
drink
offerings
of all the people of the land .
Sprinkle
on
the altar
all the blood of the burnt
offerings
and sacrifices.
But
I
will
use
the bronze
altar to seek
guidance
. ”
And
Urijah
the priest doth
according
to
all
that
king Ahaz commanded.
So
Uriah
the priest did
just
as
King Ahaz had
commanded.
And
king Ahaz cutteth
off the borders
of the bases,
and turneth
aside
from off
them the
laver,
and
the
sea
he hath
taken
down from off
the brazen
oxen that `are'
under it ,
and putteth
it on a pavement
of
stones
.
King Ahaz also
cut
off the frames
of the movable
stands
and removed
the
bronze
basin
from each
of
them .
He took
down the
Sea
from the bronze
oxen that were
under it and put
it on a stone
base
.
And the covered
place
for
the sabbath that
they built in the house,
and the
entrance
of
the king
without,
he
turned
`from'
the house of Jehovah,
because
of
the king
of
Asshur
.
And on
account
of
the king
of
Assyria,
he
removed
the Sabbath canopy
they had
built in the temple
and closed
the royal
entryway
outside
the house of the LORD
.
And
the rest of the matters
of Ahaz that
he
did
, are they not written on
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
As
for
the rest of the acts
of Ahaz, along
with
his
accomplishments,
are they not written in
the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And Ahaz lieth
with his fathers ,
and is
buried with his
fathers,
in the city of David, and reign
doth
Hezekiah
his son in his stead
.
And Ahaz rested
with his fathers and was
buried with them
in the City of David, and his son Hezekiah
reigned
in his place
.
