SCRIPTURE

"And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of Jehovah; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem." — 2 Chronicles 28:24 (ASV)

And gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut
in pieces the vessels of the house of God
And converted them to his own use, sold them, or melted the gold and silver, of which they were, and made money of them, his treasures being exhausted:

and shut up the doors of the house of the Lord :
that the people might not come and worship there, but on the high places he made:

and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem ;
that the priests might sacrifice there, and not in the temple.
