Dual Panel1In the twenty-seventh <07651> <06242> year <08141> <08141> of King <04428> Jeroboam’s <03379> reign over <04427> Israel <03478>, Amaziah’s <0558> son <01121> Azariah <05838> became king <04428> over Judah <03063>.
2He was sixteen <06240> <08337> years <08141> old <01121> when he began <01961> to reign <04427>, and he reigned <04427> for fifty-two <08147> <02572> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. His mother’s <0517> name <08034> was Jecholiah <03203>, who was from Jerusalem <03389>.
3He did <06213> what the Lord <03068> approved <05869> <03477>, just as <0834> his father <01> Amaziah <0558> had done <06213>.
4But <07535> the high places <01116> were not <03808> eliminated <05493>; the people <05971> continued <05750> to offer sacrifices <02076> and burn incense <06999> on the high places <01116>.
5The Lord <03068> afflicted <05060> the king <04428> with an illness; he suffered <01961> from a skin disease <06879> until <05704> the day <03117> he died <04194>. He lived <03427> in separate <02669> quarters <01004>, while his son <01121> Jotham <03147> was in <05921> charge of the palace <01004> and ruled over <08199> the people <05971> of the land <0776>.
6The rest <03499> of the events <01697> of Azariah’s <05838> reign, including all <03605> his accomplishments <06213>, are recorded <03789> in <05921> the scroll <05612> called the Annals <03117> <01697> of the Kings <04428> of Judah <03063>.
7Azariah <05838> passed away <01> <05973> <07901> and was buried <06912> with <05973> his ancestors <01> in the city <05892> of David <01732>. His son <01121> Jotham <03147> replaced <08478> him as king <04427>.
8In the thirty-eighth <08083> <07970> year <08141> <08141> of King <04428> Azariah’s <05838> reign <04427> over Judah <03063>, Jeroboam’s <03379> son <01121> Zechariah <02148> became king over <05921> Israel <03478>. He reigned in Samaria <08111> for six <08337> months <02320>.
9He did <06213> evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the Lord <03068>, as <0834> his ancestors <01> had done <06213>. He did not <03808> repudiate <05493> the sinful <02403> ways of Jeroboam <03379> son <01121> of Nebat <05028> who <0834> encouraged <02398> Israel <03478> to sin <02398>.
10Shallum <07967> son <01121> of Jabesh <03003> conspired <07194> against <05921> him; he assassinated <05221> him in Ibleam and took his place <08478> as king <04427>.
11The rest <03499> of the events <01697> of Zechariah’s <02148> reign are recorded <03789> in <05921> the scroll <05612> called the Annals <03117> <01697> of the Kings <04428> of Israel <03478>.
12His <01931> assassination brought to fulfillment <01696> the Lord’s <03068> word <01697> to <0413> Jehu <03058>, “Four <07243> generations of your descendants <01121> will rule <03427> over <05921> Israel <03478>.” That is exactly <03651> what happened <01961>.
13Shallum <07967> son <01121> of Jabesh <03003> became king <04427> in the thirty-ninth <08672> <07970> year <08141> <08141> of King <04428> Uzziah’s <05818> reign over Judah <03063>. He reigned <04427> for one month <03117> <03391> in Samaria <08111>.
14Menahem <04505> son <01121> of Gadi <01424> went up <05927> from Tirzah <08656> to Samaria <08111> and attacked <05221> Shallum <07967> son <01121> of Jabesh <03003>. He killed <04191> him and took his place <08478> as king <04427>.
15The rest <03499> of the events <01697> of Shallum’s <07967> reign, including the conspiracy <07195> he organized <07194>, are recorded <03789> in <05921> the scroll <05612> called the Annals <03117> <01697> of the Kings <04428> of Israel <03478>.
16At that time <0227> Menahem <04505> came from Tirzah <08656> and attacked <05221> Tiphsah <08607>. He struck down <05221> all <03605> who <0834> lived in the city and the surrounding territory <01366>, because <03588> they would not <03808> surrender <06605>. He even ripped open <01234> the pregnant women <02030>.
17In the thirty-ninth <08672> <07970> year <08141> <08141> of King <04428> Azariah’s <05838> reign over Judah <03063>, Menahem <04505> son <01121> of Gadi <01424> became king <04427> over <05921> Israel <03478>. He reigned for twelve <06235> years <08141> in Samaria <08111>.
18He did <06213> evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the Lord <03068>; he did not <03808> repudiate <05493> the sinful <02403> ways of Jeroboam <03379> son <01121> of Nebat <05028> who <0834> encouraged <02398> Israel <03478> to sin <02398>. During his reign <03117> <03605>,
19Pul <06322> king <04428> of Assyria <0804> invaded <0935> the land <0776>, and Menahem <04505> paid <05414> him <06322> a thousand <0505> talents <03603> of silver <03701> to gain <01961> his support <03027> and to solidify <02388> his control <03027> of the kingdom <04467>.
20Menahem <04505> got <03318> this silver <03701> by <05921> taxing all <03605> the wealthy men <02428> <01368> in Israel <03478>; he took <05414> fifty <02572> shekels <08255> of silver <03701> from each <0376> one <0259> of them and paid it to the king <04428> of Assyria <0804>. Then the king <04428> of Assyria <0804> left <07725>; he did not <03808> stay <05975> there <08033> in the land <0776>.
21The rest <03499> of the events <01697> of Menahem’s <04505> reign, including all <03605> his accomplishments <06213>, are recorded <03789> in <05921> the scroll <05612> called the Annals <03117> <01697> of the Kings <04428> of Israel <03478>.
22Menahem <04505> passed away <01> <05973> <07901> and his son <01121> Pekahiah <06494> replaced <08478> him as king <04427>.
23In the fiftieth <02572> year <08141> <08141> of King <04428> Azariah’s <05838> reign <04427> over Judah <03063>, Menahem’s <04505> son <01121> Pekahiah <06494> became king over <05921> Israel <03478>. He reigned in Samaria <08111> for two years <08141>.
24He did <06213> evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the Lord <03068>; he did not <03808> repudiate <05493> the sinful <02403> ways of Jeroboam <03379> son <01121> of Nebat <05028> who <0834> encouraged Israel <03478> to sin <02398>.
25His officer <07991> Pekah <06492> son <01121> of Remaliah <07425> conspired <07194> against <05921> him. He and fifty <02572> Gileadites <01569> <01121> assassinated <05221> Pekahiah, as well as <05973> Argob <0709> and Arieh <0745>, in Samaria <08111> in the fortress <0759> of the royal <04428> palace <01004>. Pekah then took his place <08478> as king <04427>.
26The rest <03499> of the events <01697> of Pekahiah’s <06494> reign, including all <03605> his accomplishments <06213>, are recorded <03789> in <05921> the scroll <05612> called the Annals <03117> <01697> of the Kings <04428> of Israel <03478>.

28He did <06213> evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the Lord <03068>; he did not <03808> repudiate <05493> the sinful ways <02403> of <04480> Jeroboam <03379> son <01121> of Nebat <05028> who <0834> encouraged <02398> Israel <03478> to sin <02398>.
29During <03117> Pekah’s <06492> reign over <04428> Israel <03478>, King <04428> Tiglath-pileser <08407> of Assyria <0804> came <0935> and captured <03947> Ijon <05859>, Abel Beth Maacah <062>, Janoah <03239>, Kedesh <06943>, Hazor <02674>, Gilead <01568>, and Galilee <01551>, including all <03605> the territory <0776> of Naphtali <05321>. He deported <01540> the people to Assyria <0804>.
30Hoshea <01954> son <01121> of Elah <0425> conspired against <07194> Pekah <06492> son <01121> of Remaliah <07425>. He assassinated <04191> <05221> him and took his place <08478> as king <04427>, in the twentieth <06242> year <08141> of the reign of Jotham <03147> son <01121> of Uzziah <05818>.
31The rest <03499> of the events <01697> of Pekah’s <06492> reign, including all <03605> his accomplishments <06213>, are recorded <03789> in <05921> the scroll <05612> called the Annals <03117> <01697> of the Kings <04428> of Israel <03478>.
32In the second <08147> year <08141> of the reign <04427> of Israel’s <03478> King <04428> Pekah <06492> son <01121> of Remaliah <07425>, Uzziah’s <05818> son <01121> Jotham <03147> became king <04428> over Judah <03063>.
33He was twenty-five <02568> <06242> years <08141> old <01121> when he began <01961> to reign <04427>, and he reigned <04427> for sixteen <06240> <08337> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. His mother <0517> was Jerusha <03388> the daughter <01323> of Zadok <06659>.
34He did <06213> what the Lord <03068> approved <05869> <03477>, just as <0834> his father <01> Uzziah <05818> had done <06213>.
35But <07535> the high places <01116> were not <03808> eliminated <05493>; the people <05971> continued <05750> to offer sacrifices <02076> and burn incense <06999> on the high places <01116>. He <01931> built <01129> the Upper <05945> Gate <08179> to the Lord’s <03068> temple <01004>.
36The rest <03499> of the events <01697> of Jotham’s <03147> reign, including his accomplishments <06213>, are recorded <03789> in <05921> the scroll <05612> called the Annals <03117> <01697> of the Kings <04428> of Judah <03063>.
