2 Kings 16:17–20, “And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones. And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria. Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.”
Ahaz was so dedicated to following the false gods of the other nations that he vandalised the Temple of the Lord. Ahaz died after sixteen years. The official archivists made a correct record of his reign and it was stored in the Temple. Hezekiah, his son, succeeded him as king.
