Exegesis
The actor Uriyah ha-kohen {אוּרִיָּה הַכֹּהֵן | Ūriyyāḥ hak-kōhēn} ‘Uriah the priest’ functions as subject, and et-hammizbeach {אֶת־הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ | ʾet-hammizbēaḥ} ‘the altar’ appears as the definite patient.
In context — 2 Kings 16:11
Thus Uriah the priest built the altar according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. Uriah the priest did so before the king’s return from Damascus.
