1In the twenty{H6242} and seventh{H7651} year{H8141} of Jeroboam{H3379} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} began Azariah{H5838} son{H1121} of Amaziah{H558} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} to reign.{H4427}
2Sixteen{H8337} years{H8141} old{H1121} was he when he began to reign;{H4427} and he reigned{H4427} two{H8147} and fifty{H2572} years{H8141} in Jerusalem:{H3389} and his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Jecoliah{H3203} of Jerusalem.{H3389}
3And he did{H6213} that which was right{H3477} in the eyes{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} according to all that his father{H1} Amaziah{H558} had done.{H6213}
4Howbeit the high places{H1116} were not taken away:{H5493} the people{H5971} still sacrificed{H2076} and burnt incense{H6999} in the high places.{H1116}
5And Jehovah{H3068} smote{H5060} the king,{H4428} so that he was a leper{H6879} unto the day{H3117} of his death,{H4194} and dwelt{H3427} in a separate{H2669} house.{H1004} And Jotham{H3147} the king's{H4428} son{H1121} was over the household,{H1004} judging{H8199} the people{H5971} of the land.{H776}
6Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Azariah,{H5838} and all that he did,{H6213} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Judah?{H3063}
7And Azariah{H5838} slept{H7901} with his fathers;{H1} and they buried{H6912} him with his fathers{H1} in the city{H5892} of David:{H1732} and Jotham{H3147} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.
8In the thirty{H7970} and eighth{H8083} year{H8141} of Azariah{H5838} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} did Zechariah{H2148} the son{H1121} of Jeroboam{H3379} reign{H4427} over Israel{H3478} in Samaria{H8111} six{H8337} months.{H2320}
9And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} as his fathers{H1} had done:{H6213} he departed{H5493} not from the sins{H2403} of Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat,{H5028} wherewith he made Israel{H3478} to sin.{H2398}
10And Shallum{H7967} the son{H1121} of Jabesh{H3003} conspired{H7194} against him, and smote{H5221} him before{H6905} the people,{H5971} and slew{H4191} him, and reigned{H4427} in his stead.
11Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Zechariah,{H2148} behold, they are written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel.{H3478}
12This was the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} which he spake{H1696} unto Jehu,{H3058} saying,{H559} Thy sons{H1121} to the fourth{H7243} generation shall sit{H3427} upon the throne{H3678} of Israel.{H3478} And so it came to pass.
13Shallum{H7967} the son{H1121} of Jabesh{H3003} began to reign{H4427} in the nine{H8672} and thirtieth{H7970} year{H8141} of Uzziah{H5818} king{H4428} of Judah;{H3063} and he reigned{H4427} the space{H3117} of a month{H3391} in Samaria.{H8111}
14And Menahem{H4505} the son{H1121} of Gadi{H1424} went up{H5927} from Tirzah,{H8656} and came{H935} to Samaria,{H8111} and smote{H5221} Shallum{H7967} the son{H1121} of Jabesh{H3003} in Samaria,{H8111} and slew{H4191} him, and reigned{H4427} in his stead.
15Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Shallum,{H7967} and his conspiracy{H7195} which he made,{H7194} behold, they are written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel.{H3478}
16Then Menahem{H4505} smote{H5221} Tiphsah,{H8607} and all that were therein, and the borders{H1366} thereof, from Tirzah:{H8656} because they opened{H6605} not to him, therefore he smote{H5221} it; and all the women therein that were with child{H2030} he ripped up.{H1234}
17In the nine{H8672} and thirtieth{H7970} year{H8141} of Azariah{H5838} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} began Menahem{H4505} the son{H1121} of Gadi{H1424} to reign{H4427} over Israel,{H3478} [and reigned] ten{H6235} years{H8141} in Samaria.{H8111}
18And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah:{H3068} he departed{H5493} not all his days{H3117} from the sins{H2403} of Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat,{H5028} wherewith he made Israel{H3478} to sin.{H2398}
19There came{H935} against the land{H776} Pul{H6322} the king{H4428} of Assyria;{H804} and Menahem{H4505} gave{H5414} Pul{H6322} a thousand{H505} talents{H3603} of silver,{H3701} that his hand{H3027} might be with him to confirm{H2388} the kingdom{H4467} in his hand.{H3027}
20And Menahem{H4505} exacted{H3318} the money{H3701} of Israel,{H3478} even of all the mighty men{H1368} of wealth,{H2428} of each{H259} man{H376} fifty{H2572} shekels{H8255} of silver,{H3701} to give{H5414} to the king{H4428} of Assyria.{H804} So the king{H4428} of Assyria{H804} turned back,{H7725} and stayed{H5975} not there in the land.{H776}
21Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Menahem,{H4505} and all that he did,{H6213} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel?{H3478}
22And Menahem{H4505} slept{H7901} with his fathers;{H1} and Pekahiah{H6494} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.
23In the fiftieth{H2572} year{H8141} of Azariah{H5838} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} Pekahiah{H6494} the son{H1121} of Menahem{H4505} began to reign{H4427} over Israel{H3478} in Samaria,{H8111} [and reigned] two years.{H8141}
24And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah:{H3068} he departed{H5493} not from the sins{H2403} of Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat,{H5028} wherewith he made Israel{H3478} to sin.{H2398}
25And Pekah{H6492} the son{H1121} of Remaliah,{H7425} his captain,{H7991} conspired{H7194} against him, and smote{H5221} him in Samaria,{H8111} in the castle{H759} of the king's{H4428} house,{H1004} with Argob{H709} and Arieh;{H745} and with him were fifty{H2572} men{H376} of the Gileadites:{H1121} and he slew{H4191} him, and reigned{H4427} in his stead.
26Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Pekahiah,{H6494} and all that he did,{H6213} behold, they are written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel.{H3478}
27In the two{H8147} and fiftieth{H2572} year{H8141} of Azariah{H5838} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} Pekah{H6492} the son{H1121} of Remaliah{H7425} began to reign{H4427} over Israel{H3478} in Samaria,{H8111} [and reigned] twenty{H6242} years.{H8141}
28And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah:{H3068} he departed{H5493} not from the sins{H2403} of Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat,{H5028} wherewith he made Israel{H3478} to sin.{H2398}
29In the days{H3117} of Pekah{H6492} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} came{H935} Tiglath-pileser{H8407} king{H4428} of Assyria,{H804} and took{H3947} Ijon,{H5859} and Abel-beth-maacah,{H62} and Janoah,{H3239} and Kedesh,{H6943} and Hazor,{H2674} and Gilead,{H1568} and Galilee,{H1551} all the land{H776} of Naphtali;{H5321} and he carried them captive{H1540} to Assyria.{H804}
30And Hoshea{H1954} the son{H1121} of Elah{H425} made{H7194} a conspiracy{H7195} against Pekah{H6492} the son{H1121} of Remaliah,{H7425} and smote{H5221} him, and slew{H4191} him, and reigned{H4427} in his stead, in the twentieth{H6242} year{H8141} of Jotham{H3147} the son{H1121} of Uzziah.{H5818}
31Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Pekah,{H6492} and all that he did,{H6213} behold, they are written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Israel.{H3478}
32In the second{H8147} year{H8141} of Pekah{H6492} the son{H1121} of Remaliah{H7425} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} began Jotham{H3147} the son{H1121} of Uzziah{H5818} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} to reign.{H4427}
33Five{H2568} and twenty{H6242} years{H8141} old{H1121} was he when he began to reign;{H4427} and he reigned{H4427} sixteen{H8337} years{H8141} in Jerusalem:{H3389} and his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Jerusha{H3388} the daughter{H1323} of Zadok.{H6659}
34And he did{H6213} that which was right{H3477} in the eyes{H5869} of Jehovah;{H3068} he did{H6213} according to all that his father{H1} Uzziah{H5818} had done.{H6213}
35Howbeit the high places{H1116} were not taken away:{H5493} the people{H5971} still sacrificed{H2076} and burned incense{H6999} in the high places.{H1116} He built{H1129} the upper{H5945} gate{H8179} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah.{H3068}
36Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Jotham,{H3147} and all that he did,{H6213} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Judah?{H3063}
37In those days{H3117} Jehovah{H3068} began{H2490} to send{H7971} against Judah{H3063} Rezin{H7526} the king{H4428} of Syria,{H758} and Pekah{H6492} the son{H1121} of Remaliah.{H7425}
38And Jotham{H3147} slept{H7901} with his fathers,{H1} and was buried{H6912} with his fathers{H1} in the city{H5892} of David{H1732} his father:{H1} and Ahaz{H271} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.
