In the twenty and seventh
year
of Jeroboam
king
of Israel
began Azariah
son
of Amaziah
king
of Judah
to reign
.
Sixteen years
old
was he when he began to reign
, and he reigned
two
and fifty
years
in Jerusalem
. And his mother's
name
was Jecholiah
of Jerusalem
.
And he did that which was right
in the sight
of the LORD
, according to all that his father
Amaziah
had done
;
Save that the high places were not removed
: the people
sacrificed
and burnt incense
still on the high places
.
And the LORD smote
the king
, so that he was a leper
unto the day
of his death
, and dwelt
in a several
house
. And Jotham
the king's
son
was over the house
, judging
the people
of the land
.
And the rest of the acts
of Azariah
, and all that he did
, are they not written
in the book
of the chronicles
of the kings
of Judah
?
So Azariah slept
with his fathers
; and they buried
him with his fathers
in the city
of David
: and Jotham
his son
reigned
in his stead.
In the thirty and eighth
year
of Azariah
king
of Judah
did Zachariah
the son
of Jeroboam
reign
over Israel
in Samaria
six
months
.
And he did that which was evil
in the sight
of the LORD
, as his fathers
had done
: he departed
not from the sins
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
, who made Israel
to sin
.
And Shallum the son
of Jabesh
conspired
against him, and smote
him before
the people
, and slew
him, and reigned
in his stead.
And the rest of the acts
of Zachariah
, behold, they are written
in the book
of the chronicles
of the kings
of Israel
.
This was the word of the LORD
which he spake
unto Jehu
, saying
, Thy sons
shall sit
on the throne
of Israel
unto the fourth
generation . And so it came to pass.
Shallum the son
of Jabesh
began to reign
in the nine
and thirtieth
year
of Uzziah
king
of Judah
; and he reigned
a full
month
in Samaria
.
For Menahem the son
of Gadi
went up
from Tirzah
, and came
to Samaria
, and smote
Shallum
the son
of Jabesh
in Samaria
, and slew
him, and reigned
in his stead.
And 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
.
Then Menahem smote
Tiphsah
, and all that were therein, and the coasts
thereof from Tirzah
: because they opened
not to him , therefore he smote
it; and all the women therein that were with child
he ripped up
.
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
.
And he did that which was evil
in the sight
of the LORD
: he departed
not all his days
from the sins
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
, who made Israel
to sin
.
And Pul the king
of Assyria
came
against the land
: and Menahem
gave
Pul
a thousand
talents
of silver
, that his hand
might be with him to confirm
the kingdom
in his hand
.
And 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 stayed
not there in the land
.
And the rest of the acts
of Menahem
, and all that he did
, are they not written
in the book
of the chronicles
of the kings
of Israel
?
And Menahem slept
with his fathers
; and Pekahiah
his son
reigned
in his stead.
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
.
And he did that which was evil
in the sight
of the LORD
: he departed
not from the sins
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
, who made Israel
to sin
.
But Pekah the son
of Remaliah
, a captain
of his, conspired
against him, and smote
him in Samaria
, in the palace
of the king's
house
, with Argob
and Arieh
, and with him fifty
men
of the Gileadites
: and he killed
him, and reigned
in his room.
And 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
.
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
.
And he did that which was evil
in the sight
of the LORD
: he departed
not from the sins
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
, who made Israel
to sin
.
In the days of Pekah
king
of Israel
came
Tiglathpileser
king
of Assyria
, and took
Ijon
, and Abelbethmaachah
, and Janoah
, and Kedesh
, and Hazor
, and Gilead
, and Galilee
, all the land
of Naphtali
, and carried them captive
to Assyria
.
And Hoshea the son
of Elah
made
a conspiracy
against Pekah
the son
of Remaliah
, and smote
him, and slew
him, and reigned
in his stead, in the twentieth
year
of Jotham
the son
of Uzziah
.
And 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
.
In the second year
of Pekah
the son
of Remaliah
king
of Israel
began Jotham
the son
of Uzziah
king
of Judah
to reign
.
Five and twenty
years
old
was he when he began to reign
, and he reigned
sixteen
years
in Jerusalem
. And his mother's
name
was Jerusha
, the daughter
of Zadok
.
And he did that which was right
in the sight
of the LORD
: he did
according to all that his father
Uzziah
had done
.
Howbeit the high places were not removed
: the people
sacrificed
and burned incense
still in the high places
. He built
the higher
gate
of the house
of the LORD
.
Now the rest of the acts
of Jotham
, and all that he did
, are they not written
in the book
of the chronicles
of the kings
of Judah
?
In those days the LORD
began
to send
against Judah
Rezin
the king
of Syria
, and Pekah
the son
of Remaliah
.
And 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 stead.
