2 Achaz is a son of twenty years when he begins to reign; and reigns sixteen years in Yeru Shalem and works not straight in the eyes of Yah Veh his Elohim as David his father:
3 and he walks in the way of the sovereigns of Yisra El yes, and passes his son through the fire according to the abhorrences of the goyim - whom Yah Veh dispossessed from the face of the sons of Yisra El:
4 and he sacrifices and incenses in the bamahs and on the hills and under every green tree.
5 Then Resin sovereign of Aram and Peqach son of Remal Yah sovereign of Yisra El ascend to Yeru Shalem to war: and they besiege Achaz but cannot fight.
6 At that time, Resin sovereign of Aram restores Eloth to Aram and plucks the Yah Hudiym from Eloth: and the Edomiy come to Eloth and settle there to this day.
7 And Achaz sends angels to Tilgath Pileser sovereign of Ashshur, saying, I am your servant and your son: ascend and save me from the palm of the sovereign of Aram and from the palm of the sovereign of Yisra El who rise against me.
8 And Achaz takes the silver and gold found in the house of Yah Veh and in the treasures of the house of the sovereign; and sends it for a bribe to the sovereign of Ashshur:
9 and the sovereign of Ashshur hearkens to him: and the sovereign of Ashshur ascends against Dammeseq and apprehends it and captures it to Qir; and deathifies Resin.
10 And sovereign Achaz goes to Dammeseq to meet Tilgath Pileser sovereign of Ashshur and sees a sacrifice altar at Dammeseq: and sovereign Achaz sends Uri Yah the priest a likeness and a pattern of the sacrifice altar according to all the works thereof:
11 and Uri Yah the priest builds a sacrifice altar according to all sovereign Achaz sends from Dammeseq: thus Uri Yah the priest works it to the coming of sovereign Achaz from Dammeseq:
12 and the sovereign comes from Dammeseq and the sovereign sees the sacrifice altar: and the sovereign approaches the sacrifice altar and holocausts thereon:
13 and he incenses his holocaust and his offering and pours his libation and sprinkles the blood of his shelamim on the sacrifice altar:
14 and he approaches the copper sacrifice altar at the face of Yah Veh from the face of the house - from between the sacrifice altar and between the house of Yah Veh - and gives it on the north flank of the sacrifice altar:
15 and sovereign Achaz misvahs Uri Yah the priest, saying, On the great sacrifice altar incense the morning holocaust and the evening offering and the holocaust and offering of the sovereign, with the holocaust of all the people of the land and their offering and their libations; and sprinkle thereon all the blood of the holocaust and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the copper sacrifice altar is for me to search by.
16 And Uri Yah the priest works according to all sovereign Achaz misvahs:
17 and sovereign Achaz chops off the borders from the bases and twists off the laver from them; and descends the sea off the copper oxen under it and gives it on the pavement of stones:
18 and the portico for the shabbath they build in the house and the outside entry of the sovereign, he turns from the face of the house of Yah Veh at the face of the sovereign of Ashshur.
19 Now the rest of the words Achaz works, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah?
20 And Achaz lies down with his fathers and is entombed with his fathers in the city of David: and Yechizqi Yah his son reigns in his stead.
