2 Kings 16:17 in Context — 2 Kings 16
15 Et le roi Achaz donna cet ordre au sacrificateur Urie: Fais brûler sur le grand autel l’holocauste du matin et l’offrande du soir, l’holocauste du roi et son offrande, les holocaustes de tout le peuple du pays et leurs offrandes, verses-y leurs libations, et répands-y tout le sang des holocaustes et tout le sang des sacrifices; pour ce qui concerne l’autel d’airain, je m’en occuperai.
16 Le sacrificateur Urie se conforma à tout ce que le roi Achaz avait ordonné.
17 Et le roi Achaz brisa les panneaux des bases, et en ôta les bassins qui étaient dessus. Il descendit la mer de dessus les bœufs d’airain qui étaient sous elle, et il la posa sur un pavé de pierres.
18 Il changea dans la maison de l’Éternel, à cause du roi d’Assyrie, le portique du sabbat qu’on y avait bâti et l’entrée extérieure du roi.
19 Le reste des actions d’Achaz, et tout ce qu’il a fait, cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois de Juda?
