Chapter 16 In the seventeenth year of
Pekah, the son of Remaliah, Ahaz,

00:07.200 --> 00:09.600
the son of Jotham king of Judah,
began to reign.

00:10.460 --> 00:15.600
Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to
reign, and reigned sixteen years in

00:15.600 --> 00:20.180
Jerusalem, and did not that which was
right in the sight of the Lord his God,

00:20.460 --> 00:21.520
like David his father.

00:22.200 --> 00:26.640
But he walked in the way of the kings of
Israel, yea, and made his son to pass

00:26.640 --> 00:31.320
through the fire, according to the
abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord

00:31.320 --> 00:33.700
cast out from before the children of
Israel.

00:34.560 --> 00:38.900
And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the
high places, and on the hills,

00:39.420 --> 00:40.720
and under every green tree.

00:42.020 --> 00:47.660
Then Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of
Remaliah king of Israel, came up to

00:47.660 --> 00:52.580
Jerusalem to war, and they besieged Ahaz,
but could not overcome him.

00:53.380 --> 01:00.140
At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered
Eilath to Syria, and drove the Jews from

01:00.140 --> 01:04.320
Eilath, and the Syrians came to Eilath,
and dwelt there unto this day.

01:05.200 --> 01:10.960
So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-peliza
king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant

01:10.960 --> 01:11.840
and thy son.

01:12.480 --> 01:17.560
Come up and save me out of the hand of the
king of Syria, and out of the hand of the

01:17.560 --> 01:20.420
king of Israel which rise up against me.

01:20.420 --> 01:24.640
And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was
found in the house of the Lord,

01:25.000 --> 01:29.300
and in the treasures of the king's house,
and sent it for a present to the king of

01:29.300 --> 01:29.740
Assyria.

01:30.360 --> 01:34.580
And the king of Assyria hearkened unto
him, for the king of Assyria went up

01:34.580 --> 01:39.180
against Damascus, and took it,
and carried the people of it captive to

01:39.180 --> 01:40.980
Kir, and slew Rezin.

01:42.000 --> 01:46.800
And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet
Tiglath-peliza king of Assyria,

01:46.800 --> 01:49.580
and saw an altar that was at Damascus.

01:50.740 --> 01:55.820
And king Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest the
fashion of the altar, and the pattern of

01:55.820 --> 01:58.440
it, according to all the workmanship
thereof.

01:59.160 --> 02:03.740
And Uriah the priest built an altar
according to all that king Ahaz had sent

02:03.740 --> 02:04.480
from Damascus.

02:05.340 --> 02:09.600
So Uriah the priest made it against king
Ahaz came from Damascus.

02:10.260 --> 02:14.840
And when the king was come from Damascus,
the king saw the altar, and the king

02:14.840 --> 02:17.020
approached to the altar, and offered
thereon.

02:17.980 --> 02:21.720
And he burnt his burnt offering,
and his meat offering, and poured his

02:21.720 --> 02:26.120
drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of
his peace offerings upon the altar.

02:26.800 --> 02:31.380
And he brought also the brassen altar,
which was before the Lord, from the

02:31.380 --> 02:35.000
forefront of the house, from between the
altar and the house of the Lord,

02:35.460 --> 02:37.380
and put it on the north side of the altar.

02:38.200 --> 02:43.420
And king Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest,
saying, Upon the great altar burn the

02:43.420 --> 02:48.280
morning burnt offering, and the evening
meat offering, and the king's burnt

02:48.280 --> 02:53.280
sacrifice, and his meat offering,
with the burnt offering of all the people

02:53.280 --> 02:58.080
of the land, and their meat offering,
and their drink offerings, and sprinkle

02:58.080 --> 03:02.280
upon it all the blood of the burnt
offering, and all the blood of the

03:02.280 --> 03:07.080
sacrifice, and the brassen altar shall be
for me to inquire by.

03:07.080 --> 03:11.700
Thus did Uriah the priest, according to
all that king Ahaz commanded.

03:12.780 --> 03:17.360
And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the
bases, and removed the laver from off

03:17.360 --> 03:21.860
them, and took down the sea from off the
brassen oxen that were under it,

03:22.200 --> 03:24.040
and put it upon a pavement of stones.

03:24.880 --> 03:29.020
And the covert for the sabbath that they
had built in the house, and the king's

03:29.020 --> 03:33.180
entry without, turned he from the house of
the Lord for the king of Assyria.

03:34.120 --> 03:38.520
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he
did, are they not written in the book of

03:38.520 --> 03:40.040
the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

03:41.340 --> 03:45.280
And Ahaz slept with his fathers,
and was buried with his fathers in the

03:45.280 --> 03:46.040
city of David.

03:46.840 --> 03:49.660
And Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
