10. King Ahaz then went to Damascus to meet with King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria. While he was there, he took special note of the altar. Then he sent a model of the altar to Uriah the priest, along with its design in full detail.
11. Uriah followed the king’s instructions and built an altar just like it, and it was ready before the king returned from Damascus.
12. When the king returned, he inspected the altar and made offerings on it.
13. He presented a burnt offering and a grain offering, he poured out a liquid offering, and he sprinkled the blood of peace offerings on the altar.
14. Then King Ahaz removed the old bronze altar from its place in front of the lord’s Temple, between the entrance and the new altar, and placed it on the north side of the new altar.
15. He told Uriah the priest, “Use the new altar for the morning sacrifices of burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, and the burnt offerings of all the people, as well as their grain offerings and liquid offerings. Sprinkle the blood from all the burnt offerings and sacrifices on the new altar. The bronze altar will be for my personal use only.”
