Ἐν ἔτει ἑπτακαιδεκάτῳ Φάκεε υἱοῦ Ῥομελίου ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀχὰζ
υἱὸς Ἰωαθὰμ βασιλέως Ἰούδα.

υἱὸς εἴκοσι ἐτῶν ἦν Ἀχὰς ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ ἑκκαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ· καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησεν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου θεοῦ πιστῶς ὡς
Δαυεὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ, καί γε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ διῆγεν πυρὶ καὶ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν
ὧν ἐξῆρεν Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ ἐθυσίαζεν καὶ ¹² εθυμία ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν βουνῶν καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους.

Τότε ἀνέβη Ῥαασσὼν βασιλεὺς Συρίας καὶ Φάκεε
υἱὸς Ῥομελίου βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς πόλεμον καὶ έπολιόρκουν ἐπὶ Ἀχάζ, καὶ οὐκ ἐδύναντο πολεμεῖν.

ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ
'Ραασσὼν βασιλεὺς Συρίας τὴν Αἰλὰθ τῇ Συρίᾳ, καὶ Ἰουδαίους ἐξ Αἰλάθ, καὶ Ἰδουμαῖοι ἦλθον καὶ ἐκεῖ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀχὰζ
πρὸς Θαλγαθφελλασὰρ βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων λέγων Δοῦλός σου καὶ υἱός σου ἐγώ· ἀνάβηθι, σῶσόν με ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Συρίας καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ τῶν ἐπανισταμένων ἐπ’ ἐμέ.

καὶ
ἔλαβεν Ἀχὰζ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν θησαυροῖς οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τῷ βασιλεῖ δῶρα·

καὶ ἤκουσεν αὐτοῦ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων· καὶ ἀνέβη βασιλεὺς Ασσυρίων
εἰς Δαμασκόν, καὶ συνέλαβεν αὐτὴν καὶ α καὶ τὸν Ῥαασσὼν ἐθανάτωσεν.

Καὶ ἐπορεύθη
εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ τῷ Θαλγαλφελλασὰρ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων εἰς Δαμασκόν· καὶ εἶδεν τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐν Δαμασκῷ· κα ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀχὰζ πρὸς Οὐρείαν τὸν ἱερέα τὸ ὁμοίωμα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τὸν ῥυθμὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς πᾶσαν ποίησιν αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν
Οὐρείας ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ θυσιαστήριον κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Ἀχὰζ ἐκ Δαμασκοῦ.

καὶ εἶδεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ θυσιακαὶ
ἀνέβη ἐπ’ αὐτό,

καὶ ἐθυμίασεν τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν αὐτοῦ
ὶ τὴν θυσίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν σπονδὴν αὐτοῦ, κα προσέχεεν τὸ αἱμα εἰρηνικῶν τῶν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον

τὸ χαλκοῦν τὸ
Κυρίου καὶ προσήγαγεν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου, ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ μηρὸν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κατὰ βορρᾶν.

καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀχὰζ τῷ Οὐρείᾳ τῷ ἱερεῖ λέγων
Ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ μέγα πρόσφερε τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν τὴν πρωινὴν καὶ τὴν θυσίαν τὴν ἑσπερινήν, κα τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν τοῦ ³⁴ βασιλέως καὶ τὴν θυσίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν παντὸς τοῦ ⁵ λαοῦ καὶ τὴν θυσίαν αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν σπονδὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ πᾶν αἷμα ὁλοκαυτώσεως καὶ πᾶν αἷμα θυσίας ἐπ’ αὐτὸ προσχεεῖς· ἐπὶ τὸ
θυσιαστήριον τὸ χαλκοῦν ἔσται μοι εἰς τὸ πρωί.

κ Οὐρείας ὁ ἱερεὺς κατὰ πάντα ὄσα ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς ’

καὶ συνέκοψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰ συνκλείσματα τῶν μεχωνὼθ καὶ μετῆρεν ἀπ’ αὐτῶν τὸν λουτῆρα, καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καθεῖλεν ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν τῶν χαλκῶν τῶν ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ
βάσιν λιθίνην.

καὶ τὸν θεμέλιον τῆς καθέδρας ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ τὴν εἴσοδον τοῦ βασιλέως τὴν ἔξω ἐπέστρεψεν οἴκῳ
Κυρίου προσώτου προσώπου βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων.

Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀχὰζ ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ ν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀχὰζ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυείδ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.

II Kings Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 16 focus

In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he didn’t do that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh his God, like David his father.

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations, whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel.

He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.

At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and lived there, to this day.

So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and your son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.

Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried [the people of] it captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.

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 the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship of it.

Urijah the priest built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so did Urijah the priest make it against the coming of king Ahaz from Damascus.

When the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near to the altar, and offered thereon.

He burnt his burnt offering and his meal-offering, and poured his drink-offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace-offerings, on the altar.

The brazen altar, which was before Yahweh, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of Yahweh, and put it on the north side of his altar.

King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal-offering, and the king’s burnt offering, and his meal-offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and 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 brazen altar shall be for me to inquire by.

Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone.

The covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry outside, turned he to the house of Yahweh, because of the king of Assyria.

Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
