← 2 Kings 16:2	2 Kings 16:3 (KJV)	2 Kings 16:4 →
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.
