II Kings 16
The Altar at Damascus
10 Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria. And when he saw an altar that was in Damascus, King Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest the likeness of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its workmanship.
11 And Uriah the priest built an altar according to all that King Ahaz had commanded from Damascus; so did Uriah the priest before King Ahaz came from Damascus.
12 When the king of Damascus came, the king saw the altar; and the king approached the altar and sacrificed on it.
13 And he burned his burnt offering and his grain offering, and poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on it.
14 14 But the bronze altar that was before the Lord he took from before the house, from between his altar and the house of the Lord, and put it beside his altar on the north side.
15 Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, "On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering, his grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their grain offering, and their drink offerings; and you shall sprinkle all the blood of the burnt offerings and all the blood of the sacrifices on it; but the bronze altar shall be mine, that I may inquire of it."
16 So Uriah the priest did according to all that King Ahaz commanded him.
17 Then King Ahaz cut off the bands of the stands and took the laver off them, and the sea took it off the copper oxen that were under it and set it on a stone floor.
18 He also took away the Sabbath covering that they had built in the temple and the king's outer entrance out of the house of the Lord because of the king of Assyria.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz and what he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
