12:016:015 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the
           great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening
           meat offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat
           offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the
           land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and
           sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all
           the blood of the sacrifice:  and the brasen altar shall be for
           me to enquire by.

12:016:016 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz
           commanded.

12:016:017 And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed
           the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the
           brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon the pavement
           of stones.

12:016:018 And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the
           house, and the king’s entry without, turned he from the house
           of the lord for the king of Assyria.

12:016:019 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not
           written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

12:016:020 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his
           fathers in the city of David:  and Hezekiah his son reigned in
           his stead.

12:017:001 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son
           of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

12:017:002 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the lord, but
           not as the kings of Israel that were before him.

12:017:003 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea
           became his servant, and gave him presents.

12:017:004 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea:  for he had
           sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to
           the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year:  therefore
           the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

12:017:005 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and
           went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

12:017:006 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria,
           and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah
           and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the
           Medes.

12:017:007 For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against
           the lord their God, which had brought them up out of the land
           of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and
           had feared other gods,

12:017:008 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the lord cast
           out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of
           Israel, which they had made.
