King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet the king of Assyria, saw an altar there, and sent me a model with full plans. Built to specification before he got back.

Replying to @isaiah

I was one of the two official witnesses when you wrote that name on the scroll, before any of this. Warmest congratulations to you both.
