1In the twenty-seventh<6242><7651> year<8141> of Jeroboam<3379> king<4428> of Israel<3478>, Azariah<5838> son<1121> of Amaziah<558> king<4428> of Judah<3063> became<4427> king<4427>.
2He was sixteen<8337><6240> years<8141> old<1121> when he became<4427> king<4427>, and he reigned<4427> fifty-two<2572> years<8141> in Jerusalem<3389>; and his mother's<517> name<8034> was Jecoliah<3203> of Jerusalem<3389>.
3He did<6213> right<3477> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>, according to all<3605> that his father<1> Amaziah<558> had done<6213>.
4Only<7534> the high<1116> places<1116> were not taken<5493> away<5493>; the people<5971> still<5750> sacrificed<2076> and burned<6999> incense<6999> on the high<1116> places<1116>.
5The LORD<3068> struck<5060> the king<4428>, so that he was a leper<6879> to the day<3117> of his death<4194>. And he lived<3427> in a separate<2669> house<1004>, while Jotham<3147> the king's<4428> son<1121> was over<5921> the household<1004>, judging<8199> the people<5971> of the land<776>.
6Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Azariah<5838> and all<3605> that he did<6213>, are they not written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Judah<3063>?
7And Azariah<5838> slept<7901> with his fathers<1>, and they buried<6912> him with his fathers<1> in the city<5892> of David<1732>, and Jotham<3147> his son<1121> became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
8In the thirty-eighth<7970><8083> year<8141> of Azariah<5838> king<4428> of Judah<3063>, Zechariah<2148> the son<1121> of Jeroboam<3379> became<4427> king<4427> over<5921> Israel<3478> in Samaria<8111> for six<8337> months<2320>.
9He did<6213> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>, as his fathers<1> had done<6213>; he did not depart<5493> from the sins<2403> of Jeroboam<3379> the son<1121> of Nebat<5028>, which<834> he made Israel<3478> sin<2398>.
10Then Shallum<7967> the son<1121> of Jabesh<3003> conspired<7194> against<5921> him and struck<5221> him before<6904> the people<5971> and killed<4191> him, and reigned<4427> in his place<8478>.
11Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Zechariah<2148>, behold<2009> they are written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Israel<3478>.
12This<1931> is the word<1697> of the LORD<3068> which<834> He spoke<1696> to Jehu<3058>, saying<559>, "Your sons<1121> to the fourth<7243> generation shall sit<3427> on the throne<3678> of Israel<3478>." And so<3651> it was.
13Shallum<7967> son<1121> of Jabesh<3003> became<4427> king<4427> in the thirty-ninth<7970><8672> year<8141> of Uzziah<5818> king<4428> of Judah<3063>, and he reigned<4427> one month<3391> in Samaria<8111>.
14Then Menahem<4505> son<1121> of Gadi<1424> went<5927> up from Tirzah<8656> and came<935> to Samaria<8111>, and struck<5221> Shallum<7967> son<1121> of Jabesh<3003> in Samaria<8111>, and killed<4191> him and became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
15Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Shallum<7967> and his conspiracy<7195> which<834> he made<7194>, behold<2009> they are written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Israel<3478>.
16Then<227> Menahem<4505> struck<5221> Tiphsah<8607> and all<3605> who<834> were in it and its borders<1366> from Tirzah<8656>, because<3588> they did not open<6605> to him; therefore he struck<5221> it and ripped<1234> up all<3605> its women<2030> who were with child<2030>.
17In the thirty-ninth<7970><8672> year<8141> of Azariah<5838> king<4428> of Judah<3063>, Menahem<4505> son<1121> of Gadi<1424> became<4427> king<4427> over<5921> Israel<3478> and reigned ten<6235> years<8141> in Samaria<8111>.
18He did<6213> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>; he did not depart<5493> all<3605> his days<3117> from the sins<2403> of Jeroboam<3379> the son<1121> of Nebat<5028>, which<834> he made Israel<3478> sin<2398>.
19Pul<6322>, king<4428> of Assyria<804>, came<935> against<5921> the land<776>, and Menahem<4505> gave<5414> Pul<6322> a thousand<505> talents<3603> of silver<3701> so that his hand<3027> might be with him to strengthen<2388> the kingdom<4467> under his rule<3027>.
20Then Menahem<4505> exacted<3318> the money<3701> from Israel<3478>, even from all<3605> the mighty<1368> men<1368> of wealth<2428>, from each<259> man<376> fifty<2572> shekels<8255> of silver<3701> to pay<5414> the king<4428> of Assyria<804>. So the king<4428> of Assyria<804> returned<7725> and did not remain<5975> there<8033> in the land<776>.
21Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Menahem<4505> and all<3605> that he did<6213>, are they not written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Israel<3478>?
22And Menahem<4505> slept<7901> with his fathers<1>, and Pekahiah<6494> his son<1121> became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
23In the fiftieth<2572> year<8141> of Azariah<5838> king<4428> of Judah<3063>, Pekahiah<6494> son<1121> of Menahem<4505> became<4427> king<4427> over<5921> Israel<3478> in Samaria<8111>, and reigned two<8147> years<8141>.
24He did<6213> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>; he did not depart<5493> from the sins<2403> of Jeroboam<3379> son<1121> of Nebat<5028>, which<834> he made Israel<3478> sin<2398>.
25Then Pekah<6492> son<1121> of Remaliah<7425>, his officer<7991>, conspired<7194> against<5921> him and struck<5221> him in Samaria<8111>, in the castle<759> of the king's<4428> house<1004> with Argob<709> and Arieh<745>; and with him were fifty<2572> men<376> of the Gileadites<1121><1569>, and he killed<4191> him and became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
26Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Pekahiah<6494> and all<3605> that he did<6213>, behold<2009> they are written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Israel<3478>.
27In the fifty-second<2572> year<8141> of Azariah<5838> king<4428> of Judah<3063>, Pekah<6492> son<1121> of Remaliah<7425> became<4427> king<4427> over<5921> Israel<3478> in Samaria<8111>, and reigned twenty<6242> years<8141>.
28He did<6213> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>; he did not depart<5493> from the sins<2403> of Jeroboam<3379> son<1121> of Nebat<5028>, which<834> he made Israel<3478> sin<2398>.
29In the days<3117> of Pekah<6492> king<4428> of Israel<3478>, Tiglath-pileser<8407> king<4428> of Assyria<804> came<935> and captured<3947> Ijon<5859> and Abel-beth-maacah<62> and Janoah<3239> and Kedesh<6943> and Hazor<2674> and Gilead<1568> and Galilee<1552>, all<3605> the land<776> of Naphtali<5321>; and he carried<1540> them captive<1540> to Assyria<804>.
30And Hoshea<1954> the son<1121> of Elah<425> made<7194> a conspiracy<7195> against<5921> Pekah<6492> the son<1121> of Remaliah<7425>, and struck<5221> him and put<4191> him to death<4191> and became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>, in the twentieth<6242> year<8141> of Jotham<3147> the son<1121> of Uzziah<5818>.
31Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Pekah<6492> and all<3605> that he did<6213>, behold<2009>, they are written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Israel<3478>.
32In the second<8147> year<8141> of Pekah<6492> the son<1121> of Remaliah<7425> king<4428> of Israel<3478>, Jotham<3147> the son<1121> of Uzziah<5818> king<4428> of Judah<3063> became<4427> king<4427>.
33He was twenty-five<6242><2568> years<8141> old<1121> when he became<4427> king<4427>, and he reigned<4427> sixteen<8337><6240> years<8141> in Jerusalem<3389>; and his mother's<517> name<8034> was Jerusha<3388> the daughter<1323> of Zadok<6659>.
34He did<6213> what<3477> was right<3477> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>; he did<6213> according to all<3605> that his father<1> Uzziah<5818> had done<6213>.
35Only<7534> the high<1116> places<1116> were not taken<5493> away<5493>; the people<5971> still<5750> sacrificed<2076> and burned<6999> incense<6999> on the high<1116> places<1116>. He built<1129> the upper<5945> gate<8179> of the house<1004> of the LORD<3068>.
36Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Jotham<3147> and all<3605> that he did<6213>, are they not written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Judah<3063>?
37In those<1992> days<3117> the LORD<3068> began<2490> to send<7971> Rezin<7526> king<4428> of Aram<758> and Pekah<6492> the son<1121> of Remaliah<7425> against Judah<3063>.
38And Jotham<3147> slept<7901> with his fathers<1>, and he was buried<6912> with his fathers<1> in the city<5892> of David<1732> his father<1>; and Ahaz<271> his son<1121> became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
