[1] In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son
of Amaziah king of Judah to reign. [2] Sixteen years old was he when he
began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his
mother`s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. [3] He did that which was right in
the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. [4]
However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed
and burnt incense in the high places. [5] Yahweh struck the king, so that
he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house.
Jotham the king`s son was over the household, judging the people of the
land. [6] Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren`t
they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [7]
Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the
city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his place. [8] In the
thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zechariah the son of
Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months. [9] He did that which was
evil in the sight of Yahweh, as his fathers had done: he didn`t depart from
the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
[10] Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before
the people, and killed him, and reigned in his place. [11] Now the rest of
the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Israel. [12] This was the word of Yahweh which
he spoke to Jehu, saying, Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on
the throne of Israel. So it came to pass. [13] Shallum the son of Jabesh
began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and
he reigned the space of a month in Samaria. [14] Menahem the son of Gadi
went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and struck Shallum the son of
Jabesh in Samaria, and killed him, and reigned in his place. [15] Now the
rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they
are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. [16] Then
Menahem struck Tiphsah, and all who were therein, and the borders of it,
from Tirzah: because they didn`t open to him, therefore he struck it; and
all the women therein who were with child he ripped up. [17] In the nine
and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi
to reign over Israel, [and reigned] ten years in Samaria. [18] He did that
which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn`t depart all his days from
the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
[19] There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave
Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to
confirm the kingdom in his hand. [20] Menahem exacted the money of Israel,
even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver,
to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and
didn`t stay there in the land. [21] Now the rest of the acts of Menahem,
and all that he did, aren`t they written in the book of the chronicles of
the kings of Israel? [22] Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his
son reigned in his place. [23] In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of
Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria,
[and reigned] two years. [24] He did that which was evil in the sight of
Yahweh: he didn`t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with
which he made Israel to sin. [25] Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain,
conspired against him, and struck him in Samaria, in the castle of the
king`s house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the
Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his place. [26] Now the rest
of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in
the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. [27] In the two and
fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to
reign over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] twenty years. [28] He did that
which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn`t depart from the sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. [29] In the
days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took
Ijon, and Abel-beth-maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead,
and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to
Assyria. [30] Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the
son of Remaliah, and struck him, and killed him, and reigned in his place,
in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah. [31] Now the rest of the
acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of
the chronicles of the kings of Israel. [32] In the second year of Pekah the
son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah
to reign. [33] He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he
reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother`s name was Jerusha the
daughter of Zadok. [34] He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh;
he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done. [35] However the
high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burned
incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh.
[36] Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren`t they
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [37] In those
days Yahweh began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah
the son of Remaliah. [38] Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried
with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned
in his place.
