11and Urijah the priest buildeth the altar according to all that king Ahaz hath sent from Damascus; so did Urijah the priest till the coming in of king Ahaz from Damascus.
12And the king cometh in from Damascus, and the king seeth the altar, and the king draweth near on the altar, and offereth on it,
