2 Kings 16:12 in Context — 2 Kings 16

10 Le roi Achaz se rendit à Damas au-devant de Tiglath-Piléser, roi d’Assyrie. Et ayant vu l’autel qui était à Damas, le roi Achaz envoya au sacrificateur Urie le modèle et la forme exacte de cet autel.

11 Le sacrificateur Urie construisit un autel entièrement d’après le modèle envoyé de Damas par le roi Achaz, et le sacrificateur Urie le fit avant que le roi Achaz fût de retour de Damas.

12 A son arrivée de Damas, le roi vit l’autel, s’en approcha et y monta:

13 il fit brûler son holocauste et son offrande, versa ses libations, et répandit sur l’autel le sang de ses sacrifices d’actions de grâces.

14 Il éloigna de la face de la maison l’autel d’airain qui était devant l’Éternel, afin qu’il ne fût pas entre le nouvel autel et la maison de l’Éternel; et il le plaça à côté du nouvel autel, vers le nord.
