2 Kings 16:16-18
Evangelical Heritage Version

16 So Uriah the priest did everything just as King Ahaz commanded.

17 Then King Ahaz cut off the side panels of the carts, and he removed the basins that were on them. He took the sea down from its position on the bronze cattle that were under it and put it on a stone pavement. 18 In deference to the king of Assyria, he also removed the Sabbath canopy that had been built for the house[a] and removed the king’s entrance on the outside of the Lord’s house.

Footnotes

  1. 2 Kings 16:18 The meaning of this verse is uncertain. Instead of the Sabbath canopy, the Greek Old Testament reads the canopy for the throne. The word house could, therefore, refer to either the temple or the palace. The context suggests that Ahaz was removing installations which might imply that he was the equal of the king of Assyria.
