And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 16 of 2 Kings. Ahaz visits Damascus and is impressed by an altar. He sends the priest Uriah a model of the altar and orders the worship of Jerusalem’s temple to be modified according to that pattern. The scene is significant because the king does not merely adopt a foreign practice personally: he reorganizes the official worship of the temple. The traditional bronze altar is displaced and subordinated to the new design. Religious authority is inverted: the king acts as though he can redesign worship according to his political and cultural preferences.

und zündete darauf an sein Brandopfer und Speisopfer und goß darauf sein Trankopfer und ließ das Blut der Dankopfer, die er opferte, auf den Altar sprengen.

Quemó su holocausto y su ofrenda de cereal, derramó su libación y roció sobre el altar la sangre de sus sacrificios de paz.
il fit brûler son holocauste et son offrande, versa ses libations, et répandit sur l'autel le sang de ses sacrifices d'actions de grâces.
Ed arse il suo olocausto, e la sua offerta, e fece la sua offerta da spandere, e sparse il sangue de’ suoi sacrificii da render grazie, sopra quell’altare.
E queimou o seu holocausto, e a sua oferta de alimentos, e derramou a sua libação, e espargiu o sangue dos seus sacrifícios pacíficos sobre o altar.
