24. Ahaz gathered the things from God’s Temple and broke them to pieces. Then he closed the doors of the Lord’S Temple. He made altars and put them on every street corner in Jerusalem.
25. In every town in Judah Ahaz made high places for burning incense to worship other gods. Ahaz made the Lord, the God his ancestors obeyed, very angry.
26. Everything else Ahaz did, from the beginning to the end, is written in the book, The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
27. Ahaz died and was buried with his ancestors. The people buried him in the city of Jerusalem. But they didn’t bury him in the same burial place where the kings of Israel were buried. Ahaz’s son Hezekiah became the new king in his place.
