1 La dix-septième année de Pékach, fils de Remalia, Achaz, fils de Jotham, roi de Juda, régna.
2 Achaz avait vingt ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna seize ans à Jérusalem. Il ne fit point ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel, son Dieu, comme avait fait David, son père.
3 Il marcha dans la voie des rois d’Israël; et même il fit passer son fils par le feu, suivant les abominations des nations que l’Éternel avait chassées devant les enfants d’Israël.
4 Il offrait des sacrifices et des parfums sur les hauts lieux, sur les collines et sous tout arbre vert.
