AHAZ, 1. King of Judah, son and successor of Jotham

2 Kings 16:10-16

10. King AHAZ went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and king AHAZ sent to Urijah the priest a drawing of the altar and plans to build it.
11. Urijah the priest built an altar. According to all that king AHAZ had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of king AHAZ from Damascus.
12. When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king came near to the altar, and offered on it.
13. He burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.
14. The bronze altar, which was before The LORD, he brought from the front of the house, from between his altar and The LORD's house, and put it on the north side of his altar.
15. King AHAZ commanded Urijah the priest, saying, "On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening meal offering, the king's burnt offering, his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar will be for me to inquire by."
16. Urijah the priest did so, according to all that king AHAZ commanded.
