2 Kings 16:16-18

New American Standard Bible

¹⁶ So Urijah the priest acted in accordance with everything that King Ahaz commanded.

¹⁷ Then King Ahaz ^(A)cut off the borders of the stands, and removed the wash basin from them; he also ^(B)took down the ^[a]Sea from the bronze oxen which were under it and put it on a pavement of stone. ¹⁸ And the covered way for the Sabbath which they had built in the house, and the outer entry of the king, he removed from the house of the Lord because of the king of Assyria.
