유다 왕 아하스

(대하 28:1-27)

16 르말랴의 아들인 이스라엘 왕 베가 제십칠년에 요담의 아들 아하스가 유다의 왕이 되었다. 그는 스무 살에 왕이 되어 예루살렘에서 십육 년 동안 다스렸다. 그는 자기 조상 다윗과 같지 않아서 그의 하나님께서 보시기에 옳은 일을 하지 않았다. 그는 이스라엘의 왕들의 길을 따라 걸으며 심지어 자기 아들을 불에 태워 제물로 바치기까지[a] 하였다. 이것은 주께서 이스라엘 백성 앞에서 쫓아내신 이방 민족의 혐오스러운 풍습을 따른 짓이었다. 아하스는 직접 산당과 언덕 위와 잎이 우거진 모든 나무 아래에서 희생제물을 드리고 분향하였다.

아람 왕 르신과 르말랴의 아들인 이스라엘 왕 베가가 예루살렘으로 쳐들어와서 아하스를 에워쌌으나 그를 정복할 수는 없었다. 그때에 아람 왕 르신은 아람을 위해 엘랏을 다시 빼앗아 그곳에 살고 있는 모든 유다 사람들을 쫓아내었다. 그런 다음 아람 사람들이 엘랏으로 옮겨와 오늘날까지 그곳에 살고 있다.

아하스는 앗시리아 왕 디글랏빌레셀에게 사람을 보내어 이렇게 전하게 하였다. “나는 왕의 종이며 봉신[b]입니다. 지금 아람 왕과 이스라엘 왕이 나를 치려고 하니 오셔서 나를 구해 주십시오.” 아하스는 또 주의 성전과 왕궁의 보물 창고에 있는 은과 금을 가져다가 앗시리아 왕에게 선물로 보냈다. 앗시리아 왕이 아하스의 청을 들어주어 다마스쿠스를 공격하여 그곳을 점령하였다. 그리고 그곳 사람들을 사로잡아 길로 끌어가고 르신을 처형하였다.

10 그러자 아하스 왕은 앗시리아 왕 디글랏빌레셀을 만나러 다마스쿠스로 갔다. 아하스는 그곳에 있는 제단을 보고 그 제단의 모형과 상세한 도면을 제사장 우리야에게 보냈다. 11 그리하여 제사장 우리야는 아하스 왕이 다마스쿠스에서 보낸 모형대로 제단을 만들었다. 그는 아하스 왕이 다마스쿠스에서 돌아오기 전에 제단 만드는 일을 모두 마쳤다. 12 왕은 다마스쿠스에서 돌아와 그 제단을 보고 제단에 다가가 제물을 바쳤다.[c] 13 그는 번제물과 곡식예물을 드리고 부어 드리는 제물을 부었다. 또 제단 위에 축하제물의 피도 뿌렸다.

14 또 아하스는 주 앞에 있던 놋제단을 성전 앞에서 옮겼다. 곧 새로 만든 제단과 주의 성전 사이에 있던 놋제단을 새로 만든 제단 북쪽에 갖다 놓았다. 15 그런 다음 제사장 우리야에게 명령하였다. “새로 만든 이 큰 제단 위에서 아침 번제물과 저녁 곡식제물, 왕이 드리는 번제물과 곡식제물, 그리고 이 땅의 모든 백성이 드리는 번제물과 곡식제물과 부어 드리는 제물을 드리도록 하시오. 그리고 번제물과 희생제물의 피를 모두 이 제단에 뿌리시오. 놋제단은 내가 하나님께 여쭈어 볼 때 쓰기로 하겠소.” 16 제사장 우리야는 아하스 왕이 명령한 그대로 하였다.

17 아하스 왕은 이동식 놋받침대의 옆 판자를 떼어내고 놋대야를 들어냈다. 그리고 놋으로 만든 황소가 떠받치고 있던 바다 모양의 물통을 내려서 돌받침 위에 놓았다. 18 그는 앗시리아 왕에게 존경하는 마음을 나타내기 위하여 성전 안에 있는 안식일에 사용하는 통로와 주의 성전 바깥에 있는 왕의 전용 입구를 없애 버렸다.

19 아하스가 다스리는 동안에 일어난 다른 일들과 그가 한 모든 일은 ‘유다 왕들의 역사’에 다 기록되어 있다. 20 아하스는 죽어서 그의 조상들이 묻힌 다윗 성에 묻혔다. 그의 아들 히스기야가 그의 뒤를 이어서 왕이 되었다.

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. 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. 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. He offered sacrifices and burned incense(G) at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree.(H)

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. 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.

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.” 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. 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.

16 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord his God, like David his father.

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.

And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.

At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.

So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.

And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.

10 And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.

11 And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus.

12 And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon.

13 And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.

14 And he brought also the brasen altar, which was before the Lord, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and put it on the north side of the altar.

15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by.

16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

17 And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon the pavement of stones.

18 And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry without, turned he from the house of the Lord for 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 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
