16:4

And he sacrificed
<02076> (8762)

and burnt incense
<06999> (8762)

in the high places
<01116>_,

and on the hills
<01389>_,

and under every green
<07488>

tree
<06086>_.

16:5

Then Rezin
<07526>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

and Pekah
<06492>

son
<01121>

of Remaliah
<07425>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

came up
<05927> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

to war
<04421>_:

and they besieged
<06696> (8799)

Ahaz
<0271>_,

but could
<03201> (8804)

not overcome
<03898> (8736)

[him].

16:6

At that time
<06256>

Rezin
<07526>

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

recovered
<07725> (8689)

Elath
<0359>

to Syria
<0758> (8675) <0130>_,

and drave
<05394> (8762)

the Jews
<03064>

from Elath
<0359>_:

and the Syrians
<0726>

came
<0935> (8804)

to Elath
<0359>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

there unto this day
<03117>_.

{from Elath: Heb. from Eloth}

16:7

So Ahaz
<0271>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to Tiglathpileser
<08407>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I [am] thy servant
<05650>

and thy son
<01121>_:

come up
<05927> (8798)_,

and save
<03467> (8685)

me out of the hand
<03709>

of the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_,

and out of the hand
<03709>

of the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which rise up
<06965> (8801)

against me.

16:8

And Ahaz
<0271>

took
<03947> (8799)

the silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

[it for] a present
<07810>

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

16:9

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto him: for the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

went up
<05927> (8799)

against Damascus
<01834>_,

and took
<08610> (8799)

it, and carried [the people of] it captive
<01540> (8686)

to Kir
<07024>_,

and slew
<04191> (8689)

Rezin
<07526>_.

{Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}

16:10

And king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Damascus
<01834>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Tiglathpileser
<08407>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

that [was] at Damascus
<01834>_:

and king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Urijah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>

the fashion
<01823>

of the altar
<04196>_,

and the pattern
<08403>

of it, according to all the workmanship
<04639>

thereof. {Damascus: Heb. Dammesek}

16:11

And Urijah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>

built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

according to all that king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

had sent
<07971> (8804)

from Damascus
<01834>_:

so Urijah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>

made
<06213> (8804)

[it] against king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

came
<0935> (8800)

from Damascus
<01834>_.

16:12

And when the king
<04428>

was come
<0935> (8799)

from Damascus
<01834>_,

the king
<04428>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the altar
<04196>_:

and the king
<04428>

approached
<07126> (8799)

to the altar
<04196>_,

and offered
<05927> (8686)

thereon.

16:13

And he burnt
<06999> (8686)

his burnt offering
<05930>

and his meat offering
<04503>_,

and poured
<05258> (8686)

his drink offering
<05262>_,

and sprinkled
<02236> (8799)

the blood
<01818>

of his peace offerings
<08002>_,

upon the altar
<04196>_.

{his peace offerings: Heb. the peace offerings which were his}

16:14

And he brought
<07126> (8686)

also the brasen
<05178>

altar
<04196>_,

which [was] before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

from the forefront
<06440>

of the house
<01004>_,

from between the altar
<04196>

and the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

it on the north
<06828>

side
<03409>

of the altar
<04196>_.

16:15

And king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Urijah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Upon the great
<01419>

altar
<04196>

burn
<06999> (8685)

the morning
<01242>

burnt offering
<05930>_,

and the evening
<06153>

meat offering
<04503>_,

and the king's
<04428>

burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,

and his meat offering
<04503>_,

with the burnt offering
<05930>

of all the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

and their meat offering
<04503>_,

and their drink offerings
<05262>_;

and sprinkle
<02236> (8799)

upon it all the blood
<01818>

of the burnt offering
<05930>_,

and all the blood
<01818>

of the sacrifice
<02077>_:

and the brasen
<05178>

altar
<04196>

shall be for me to enquire
<01239> (8763)

[by].

16:16

Thus did
<06213> (8799)

Urijah
<0223>

the priest
<03548>_,

according to all that king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_.

16:17

And king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

cut off
<07112> (8762)

the borders
<04526>

of the bases
<04350>_,

and removed
<05493> (8686)

the laver
<03595>

from off them; and took down
<03381> (8689)

the sea
<03220>

from off the brasen
<05178>

oxen
<01241>

that [were] under it, and put
<05414> (8799)

it upon a pavement
<04837>

of stones
<068>_.

16:18

And the covert
<04329> (8675) <04329>

for the sabbath
<07676>

that they had built
<01129> (8804)

in the house
<01004>_,

and the king's
<04428>

entry
<03996>

without
<02435>_,

turned
<05437> (8689)

he from the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

for
<06440>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

16:19

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Ahaz
<0271>

which he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

16:20

And Ahaz
<0271>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_:

and Hezekiah
<02396>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.
