16. Uriah did everything Ahaz told him.
17. Ahaz also had the side panels and the small bowls taken off the moveable stands in the Lord's temple. He had the large bronze bowl, called the Sea, removed from the bronze bulls on which it rested and had it placed on a stand made of stone.
18. He took down the special tent that was used for worship on the Sabbath and closed up the private entrance that the kings of Judah used for going into the temple. He did all these things to please Tiglath Pileser.
19. Everything else Ahaz did while he was king is written in The History of the Kings of Judah.
20. Ahaz died and was buried beside his ancestors in Jerusalem, and his son Hezekiah became king.
