2 Kings 16:12 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 16:12

10 Now King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the design of the altar and its pattern, according to all its workmanship.

11 Then ^aUrijah the priest built an altar according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. So Urijah the priest made it before King Ahaz came back from Damascus.

12 And when the king came back from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and ^athe king approached the altar and made offerings on it.

13 So he burned his burnt offering and his grain offering; and he poured his drink offering and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.

14 He also brought ^athe bronze altar which was before the Lord, from the front of the¹ temple—from between the new altar and the house of the Lord—and put it on the north side of the new altar.
