Reinado de Acaz

16 En el año diecisiete de Peka, hijo de Remalías, comenzó a reinar Acaz, hijo de Jotam, rey de Judá(A). 2 (B)Acaz tenía veinte años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó dieciséis años en Jerusalén; pero no hizo lo recto ante los ojos del Señor su Dios como su padre David había hecho, 3 sino que anduvo en el camino de los reyes de Israel, y aun hizo pasar a su hijo por el fuego, conforme a las abominaciones de las naciones que el Señor había arrojado[a](C) de delante de los hijos de Israel(D). 4 Y sacrificó y quemó incienso en los lugares altos(E), en las colinas y debajo de todo árbol frondoso. 5 Entonces Rezín, rey de Aram, y Peka, hijo de Remalías(F), rey de Israel, subieron a Jerusalén para hacer guerra y sitiaron a Acaz; pero no lo podían vencer[b](G). 6 En aquel tiempo Rezín, rey de Aram, recuperó a Elat(H) para Aram, y echó[c] a los judíos de Elat[d] completamente; y los arameos[e] vinieron a Elat y allí han morado hasta hoy.

7 Y envió Acaz mensajeros(I) a Tiglat-pileser, rey de Asiria(J), diciendo: Yo soy tu siervo y tu hijo; sube y líbrame de la mano[f] del rey de Aram y de la mano[g] del rey de Israel que se han levantado contra mí. 8 Y Acaz tomó la plata y el oro que se hallaba en la casa del Señor y en los tesoros de la casa del rey, y envió un presente al rey de Asiria(K). 9 El rey de Asiria lo escuchó(L), y el rey de Asiria subió contra Damasco y la tomó(M), y se llevó a su pueblo al destierro en Kir(N), y dio muerte a Rezín.

10 Y el rey Acaz fue a Damasco a ver[h] a Tiglat-pileser, rey de Asiria(O), y vio el altar que estaba en Damasco; y el rey Acaz envió al sacerdote(P) Urías el diseño[i] del altar y su réplica, conforme a toda su hechura. 11 Y el sacerdote Urías edificó un altar; conforme a todo lo que el rey Acaz había enviado de Damasco, así lo hizo el sacerdote Urías antes del[j] regreso del rey Acaz de Damasco. 12 Cuando vino el rey de Damasco y vio[k] el altar, el rey se acercó al altar y subió hasta[l] él(Q); 13 quemó su holocausto y su ofrenda de cereal, derramó su libación y roció la sangre de sus ofrendas de paz sobre el altar; 14 y el altar de bronce(R), que estaba delante del Señor, lo[m] trajo de delante de la casa, de entre su altar(S) y la casa del Señor, y lo puso al lado norte de su altar. 15 Entonces el rey Acaz dio órdenes al sacerdote Urías, diciendo: Quema sobre el gran altar el holocausto de la mañana y la ofrenda de cereal de la tarde(T), el holocausto del rey y su ofrenda de cereal, con el holocausto de todo el pueblo de la tierra y con su ofrenda de cereal y sus libaciones; y rocía sobre él toda la sangre del holocausto y toda la sangre del sacrificio. Pero el altar de bronce será para mí para consultar(U). 16 Y el sacerdote Urías hizo conforme a todo lo que el rey Acaz le había ordenado.

17 Entonces el rey Acaz cortó los bordes de las basas, y quitó de ellas la pila(V); también bajó el mar de sobre los bueyes(W) de bronce que estaban debajo de él y lo puso sobre un enlosado de piedra. 18 Y el pórtico para el día de reposo, que habían edificado en la casa, y la entrada exterior del rey, los quitó de la casa del Señor a causa del rey de Asiria. 19 Los demás hechos de Acaz, lo que hizo, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Judá(X)? 20 Y durmió Acaz(Y) con sus padres, y fue sepultado con sus padres en la ciudad de David; y su hijo Ezequías reinó en su lugar(Z).

New International Version

Ahaz King of Judah(A)

16 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz(B) son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. 2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right(C) in the eyes of the Lord his God. 3 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel(D) and even sacrificed his son(E) in the fire, engaging in the detestable(F) practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. 4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense(G) at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree.(H)

5 Then Rezin(I) king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem and besieged Ahaz, but they could not overpower him. 6 At that time, Rezin(J) king of Aram recovered Elath(K) for Aram by driving out the people of Judah. Edomites then moved into Elath and have lived there to this day.

7 Ahaz sent messengers to say to Tiglath-Pileser(L) king of Assyria, “I am your servant and vassal. Come up and save(M) me out of the hand of the king of Aram and of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.” 8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace and sent it as a gift(N) to the king of Assyria. 9 The king of Assyria complied by attacking Damascus(O) and capturing it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir(P) and put Rezin to death.

10 Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. He saw an altar in Damascus and sent to Uriah(Q) the priest a sketch of the altar, with detailed plans for its construction. 11 So Uriah the priest built an altar in accordance with all the plans that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus and finished it before King Ahaz returned. 12 When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings[a](R) on it. 13 He offered up his burnt offering(S) and grain offering,(T) poured out his drink offering,(U) and splashed the blood of his fellowship offerings(V) against the altar. 14 As for the bronze altar(W) that stood before the Lord, he brought it from the front of the temple—from between the new altar and the temple of the Lord—and put it on the north side of the new altar.

15 King Ahaz then gave these orders to Uriah the priest: “On the large new altar, offer the morning(X) burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt offering and his grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offering. Splash against this altar the blood of all the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar for seeking guidance.”(Y) 16 And Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had ordered.

17 King Ahaz cut off the side panels and removed the basins from the movable stands. He removed the Sea from the bronze bulls that supported it and set it on a stone base.(Z) 18 He took away the Sabbath canopy[b] that had been built at the temple and removed the royal entryway outside the temple of the Lord, in deference to the king of Assyria.(AA)

19 As for the other events of the reign of Ahaz, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 20 Ahaz rested(AB) with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. And Hezekiah his son succeeded him as king.

Ahaz Reigns in Judah(A)

16 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign. 2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord his God, as his father David had done. 3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel; indeed (B)he made his son pass through the fire, according to the (C)abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out from before the children of Israel. 4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the (D)high places, (E)on the hills, and under every green tree.

5 (F)Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war; and they besieged Ahaz but could not overcome him. 6 At that time Rezin king of Syria (G)captured [a]Elath for Syria, and drove the men of Judah from Elath. Then the [b]Edomites went to Elath, and dwell there to this day.

7 So Ahaz sent messengers to (H)Tiglath-Pileser[c] king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.” 8 And Ahaz (I)took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king’s house, and sent it as a present to the king of Assyria. 9 So the king of Assyria heeded him; for the king of Assyria went up against (J)Damascus and (K)took it, carried its people captive to (L)Kir, and killed Rezin.

10 Now King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the design of the altar and its pattern, according to all its workmanship. 11 Then (M)Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. So Urijah the priest made it before King Ahaz came back from Damascus. 12 And when the king came back from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and (N)the king approached the altar and made offerings on it. 13 So he burned his burnt offering and his grain offering; and he poured his drink offering and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar. 14 He also brought (O)the bronze altar which was before the Lord, from the front of the [d]temple—from between the new altar and the house of the Lord—and put it on the north side of the new altar. 15 Then King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great new altar burn (P)the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his grain offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their grain offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice. And the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by.” 16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that King Ahaz commanded.

17 (Q)And King Ahaz cut off (R)the panels of the carts, and removed the lavers from them; and he took down (S)the Sea from the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stones. 18 Also he removed the Sabbath pavilion which they had built in the temple, and he removed the king’s outer entrance from the house of the Lord, on account of the king of Assyria.

19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 20 So Ahaz rested with his fathers, and (T)was buried with his fathers in the City of David. Then Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
