2 Kings 16:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible
15 Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, ‘On the large new altar, offer these gifts:
A burnt offering for each morning.
A grain offering for each evening.
A burnt offering and a grain offering on behalf of the king.
A burnt offering on behalf of all the people of Israel.
A grain offering and drink offerings on behalf of the people.
Splash the blood from all these sacrifices on the new altar. But I will use the bronze altar myself, to find out about my future times.’
16 So Uriah the priest did what King Ahaz had commanded him to do.
17 King Ahaz also removed the pieces on the sides of the carts which carried the buckets for water. He also removed the buckets. He took the large bath called ‘the Sea’ from the top of the bronze bulls that it stood on. He stood it on a big flat stone instead.[a]
