1 Aḥaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Yerushalayim. And he did not do what was right in the eyes of יהוה, as his father Dawiḏ had done,
2 and walked in the ways of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl, and made moulded images for the Ba‛als.
3 And he himself burned incense in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the gentiles whom יהוה dispossessed from before the children of Yisra’ĕl,
4 and slaughtered and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
