Twenty6242 years8141 old1121 was 271 when he began to reign4427, and reigned4427 sixteen8337 6240 years8141 in 3389, and did6213 not that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068 his God430, like 1732 his father1. But he walked3212 in the way1870 of the kings4428 of 3478, yea, and made his son1121 to pass through5674 the fire784, according to the abominations8441 of the heathen1471, whom the LORD3068 cast out3423 from before6440 the children1121 of 3478. And he sacrificed2076 and burnt incense6999 in the high places1116, and the hills1389, and under every green7488 tree6086. Then Rezin7526 king4428 of 758 and Pekah6492 son1121 of Remaliah7425 king4428 of 3478 came up5927 to 3389 to war4421: and they besieged6696 271, but could3201 not overcome3898 him. At that time6256 Rezin7526 king4428 of 758 recovered7725 Elath359 to 758 130, and drave5394 the 3064 from Elath359: and the Syrians726 came935 to Elath359, and dwelt3427 there unto this day3117. from : Heb. from So 271 sent7971 messengers4397 to Tiglathpileser8407 king4428 of 804, saying559, I am thy servant5650 and thy son1121: come up5927, and save3467 me out of the hand3709 of the king4428 of 758, and out of the hand3709 of the king4428 of 3478, which rise up6965 against me. And 271 took3947 the silver3701 and gold2091 that was found4672 in the house1004 of the LORD3068, and in the treasures214 of the king's4428 house1004, and sent7971 it for a present7810 to the king4428 of 804. And the king4428 of 804 hearkened8085 unto him: for the king4428 of 804 went up5927 against 1834, and took8610 it, and carried the people of it captive1540 to Kir7024, and slew4191 Rezin7526. : Heb. Dammesek And king4428 271 went3212 to 1834 to meet7125 Tiglathpileser8407 king4428 of 804, and saw7200 an altar4196 that was at 1834: and king4428 271 sent7971 to Urijah223 the priest3548 the fashion1823 of the altar4196, and the pattern8403 of it, according to all the workmanship4639 thereof. : Heb. Dammesek And Urijah223 the priest3548 built1129 an altar4196 according to all that king4428 271 had sent7971 from 1834: so Urijah223 the priest3548 made6213 it against king4428 271 came935 from 1834. And when the king4428 was come935 from 1834, the king4428 saw7200 the altar4196: and the king4428 approached7126 to the altar4196, and offered5927 thereon. And he burnt6999 his 5930 and his meat offering4503, and poured5258 his 5262, and sprinkled2236 the blood1818 of his peace offerings8002, upon the altar4196. his peace offerings: Heb. the peace offerings which were his And he brought7126 also the brasen5178 altar4196, which was before6440 the LORD3068, from the forefront6440 of the house1004, from between the altar4196 and the house1004 of the LORD3068, and 5414 it the north6828 side3409 of the altar4196. And king4428 271 commanded6680 Urijah223 the priest3548, saying559, Upon the great1419 altar4196 burn6999 the morning1242 5930, and the evening6153 meat offering4503, and the king's4428 burnt sacrifice5930, and his meat offering4503, with the 5930 of all the people5971 of the land776, and their meat offering4503, and their drink offerings5262; and sprinkle2236 upon it all the blood1818 of the 5930, and all the blood1818 of the sacrifice2077: and the brasen5178 altar4196 shall be for me to enquire1239 by. Thus did6213 Urijah223 the priest3548, according to all that king4428 271 commanded6680. And king4428 271 cut off7112 the borders4526 of the bases4350, and removed5493 the laver3595 from off them; and took down3381 the sea3220 from off the brasen5178 oxen1241 that were under it, and 5414 it upon a pavement4837 of stones68. And the covert4329 4329 for the 7676 that they had built1129 in the house1004, and the king's4428 entry3996 without2435, turned5437 he from the house1004 of the LORD3068 for6440 the king4428 of 804. Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of 271 which he did6213, are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of 3063? And 271 slept7901 with his fathers1, and was buried6912 with his fathers1 in the city5892 of 1732: and 2396 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.
