2 Kings 16:16-18

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ Uriah the priest did everything King Ahaz commanded.

¹⁷ Then King Ahaz cut off the frames of the water carts^[a](A) and removed the bronze basin from each of them. He took the reservoir^[b](B) from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone pavement. ¹⁸ To satisfy the king of Assyria, he removed from the Lord’s temple the Sabbath canopy they had built in the palace, and he closed the outer entrance for the king.
