2 Kings 16:7-11

[7] So Ahaz  sent  messengers  to Tiglathpileser  king  of Assyria,  saying,  I am thy servant  and thy son:  come up,  and save  me out of the hand  of the king  of Syria,  and out of the hand  of the king  of Israel,  which rise up  against me. [8] And Ahaz  took  the silver  and gold  that was found  in the house  and in the treasures  of the king's  house,  and sent  it for a present  to the king  of Assyria.  [9] And the king  of Assyria  hearkened  unto him: for the king  of Assyria  went up  against Damascus,  and took  it, and carried the people of it captive  to Kir,  and slew  Rezin.  [10] And king  Ahaz  to Damascus  to meet  Tiglathpileser  king  of Assyria,  and saw  an altar  that was at Damascus:  and king  Ahaz  sent  to Urijah  the priest  the fashion  of the altar,  and the pattern  of it, according to all the workmanship  thereof. [11] And Urijah  the priest  built  an altar  according to all that king  Ahaz  had sent  from Damascus:  so Urijah  the priest  made  it against king  Ahaz  came  from Damascus.
