2 Kings 16:18-20
Evangelical Heritage Version
18 In deference to the king of Assyria, he also removed the Sabbath canopy that had been built for the house[a] and removed the king’s entrance on the outside of the Lord’s house.
19 As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz, the things he did, are they not written in the annals of the kings of Judah? 20 Ahaz rested with his fathers, and he was buried with his fathers in the City of David. Then his son Hezekiah became king in his place.

- 2 Kings 16:18 The meaning of this verse is uncertain. Instead of the Sabbath canopy, the Greek Old Testament reads the canopy for the throne. The word house could, therefore, refer to either the temple or the palace. The context suggests that Ahaz was removing installations which might imply that he was the equal of the king of Assyria.
