2 Kings 16:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ Ahaz cut off the sides of the bronze stands. He removed the bowls from the stands. He removed the huge bowl from the bronze bulls it stood on. He placed the bowl on a stone base. ¹⁸ He took away the covered area that had been used on the Sabbath day. It had been built at the Lord’s temple. He removed the royal entrance that was outside the temple. Ahaz did all these things to honor the king of Assyria.

¹⁹ The other events of the rule of Ahaz are written down. Everything he did is written in the official records of the kings of Judah.
