1
In 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 name[H8034] was Jecholiah[H3203] of Jerusalem[H3389].
3
And he did[H6213] that which was right[H3477] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD[H3068], according to all that his father[H1]Amaziah[H558] had done[H6213];
4
Save that the high places[H1116] were not removed[H5493]: the people[H5971]sacrificed[H2076] and burnt incense[H6999] still on the high places[H1116].
5
And the LORD[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 several[H2669]house[H1004]. And Jotham[H3147] the king[H4428]'s son[H1121] was over the house[H1004], judging[H8199] the people[H5971] of the land[H776].
6
And 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]
7
So 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.
8
In the thirty[H7970] and eighth[H8083]year[H8141] of Azariah[H5838]king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] did Zachariah[H2148] the son[H1121] of Jeroboam[H3379]reign[H4427] over Israel[H3478] in Samaria[H8111]six[H8337]months[H2320].
9
And he did[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD[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], who made Israel[H3478] to sin[H2398].
10
And 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.
11
And the rest[H3499] of the acts[H1697] of Zachariah[H2148], behold, they are written[H3789] in the book[H5612] of the chronicles[H1697] of the kings[H4428] of Israel[H3478].
12
This was the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] which he spake[H1696] unto Jehu[H3058], saying[H559], Thy sons[H1121] shall sit[H3427] on the throne[H3678] of Israel[H3478] unto the fourth[H7243] generation. 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] a full[H3117]month[H3391] in Samaria[H8111].
14
For 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.
15
And 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].
16
Then Menahem[H4505]smote[H5221]Tiphsah[H8607], and all that were therein, and the coasts[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].
17
In 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].
18
And he did[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD[H3068]: he departed[H5493] not all his days[H3117] from the sins[H2403] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Nebat[H5028], who made Israel[H3478] to sin[H2398].
19
And Pul[H6322] the king[H4428] of Assyria[H804]came[H935] against the land[H776]: 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].
20
And 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].
21
And 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]
22
And Menahem[H4505]slept[H7901] with his fathers[H1]; and Pekahiah[H6494] his son[H1121]reigned[H4427] in his stead.
23
In 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].
24
And he did[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD[H3068]: he departed[H5493] not from the sins[H2403] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Nebat[H5028], who made Israel[H3478] to sin[H2398].
25
But Pekah[H6492] the son[H1121] of Remaliah[H7425], a captain[H7991] of his, conspired[H7194] against him, and smote[H5221] him in Samaria[H8111], in the palace[H759] of the king's house[H1004], with Argob[H709] and Arieh[H745], and with him fifty[H2572]men[H376] of the Gileadites[H1121]: and he killed[H4191] him, and reigned[H4427] in his room.
26
And 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].
27
In 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].
28
And he did[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD[H3068]: he departed[H5493] not from the sins[H2403] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Nebat[H5028], who made Israel[H3478] to sin[H2398].
29
In the days[H3117] of Pekah[H6492]king[H4428] of Israel[H3478]came[H935]Tiglathpileser[H8407]king[H4428] of Assyria[H804], and took[H3947]Ijon[H5859], and Abelbethmaachah[H62], and Janoah[H3239], and Kedesh[H6943], and Hazor[H2674], and Gilead[H1568], and Galilee[H1551], all the land[H776] of Naphtali[H5321], and carried them captive[H1540] to Assyria[H804].
30
And 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].
31
And 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].
32
In 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 name[H8034] was Jerusha[H3388], the daughter[H1323] of Zadok[H6659].
34
And he did[H6213] that which was right[H3477] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD[H3068]: he did[H6213] according to all that his father[H1]Uzziah[H5818] had done[H6213].
35
Howbeit the high places[H1116] were not removed[H5493]: the people[H5971]sacrificed[H2076] and burned incense[H6999] still in the high places[H1116]. He built[H1129] the higher[H5945]gate[H8179] of the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068].
36
Now 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]
37
In those days[H3117] the LORD[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].
38
And 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.
