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.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 16 of 2 Kings. Ahaz continues altering elements of the temple and uses structures and vessels to modify the arrangement of worship. At the end of the chapter, his death and Hezekiah’s succession prepare a decisive contrast. Ahaz’s actions represent one of the strongest moments of religious accommodation to foreign powers in Judah. The account does not present international politics and cultic reform as independent matters: dependence on Assyria is also reflected in the way Ahaz reorganizes the sacred space.
