1 In the seventeenth year of Phacee the son of Romelia reigned Achaz the son of Joatham king of Juda. 2 Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord his Cod, as David his father. 3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel: moreover he consecrated also his son, making him pass through the fire according to the idols of the nations: which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel. 4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places and on the hills, and under every green tree. 2 Kings 16:1-4, Douay-Rheims Bible.
