* In the twenty seventh year of Jeroboam the king of Israel Azariah the son of Amaziah the king of Judah began to reign . * He was a son of sixteen years when he began to reign , and he reigned fifty two years in Jerusalem ; and the name of his mother was Jecholiah of Jerusalem . * And he did the right in the eyes of Jehovah , according to all that his father Amaziah did ; * however , the high places were not taken away ; the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places . * And Jehovah touched the king , and he was a leper to the day of his death ; and he lived in a separate house , and Jotham the son of the king 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 Matters of the Days of the Kings of Judah ? * And Azariah lay with his fathers , and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David . And his son Jotham reigned in his place . * In the thirty eighth year of Azariah the king of Judah , Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel , in Samaria , six months . * And he did the evil in the eyes of Jehovah , as his fathers did ; he did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , who caused Israel to sin . * And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him and struck him before the people , and killed him , and reigned in his place . * And the rest of the acts of Zechariah , behold , they are written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel . * This was the word of Jehovah that He spoke to Jehu , saying , Your son of the fourth generation shall sit to you on the throne of Israel ; and it was so . * Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty ninth year of Uzziah the king of Judah , and he reigned a full month in Samaria . * And Menahem the son of Gadi from Tirzah went up and came into Samaria and struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria , and killed him , and reigned in his place . * And the rest of the acts of Shallum , and his conspiracy that he conspired , behold , they are written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel . * Then Menahem struck Tiphsah , and all who were in it , and its borders from Tirzah , for it did not open , and he struck it ; he ripped up all its pregnant women . * In the thirty ninth year of Azariah the king of Judah , Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel , ten years in Samaria . * And he did the evil in the eyes of Jehovah ; he did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , who caused Israel to sin , all his days . * Pul the king of Assyria came against the land , and Menahem gave a thousand talents of silver to Pul , that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand . * And Menahem brought out the silver from Israel , on all the mighty men of wealth , to give to the king of Assyria , fifty shekels of silver for each one ; and the king of Assyria turned back and did not stay 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 Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel ? * And Menahem lay with his fathers . And his son Pekahiah reigned in his place . * In the fiftieth year of Azariah the king of Judah , Pekahiah the son of Menahem reigned over Israel two years in Samaria . * And he did the evil in the eyes of Jehovah ; he did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , who caused Israel to sin . * And Pekah the son of Remaliah , his general , conspired against him and struck him in Samaria , in the high place of the house of the king , with Argob and Arieh , and fifty men of the sons of the Gileadites with him ; and he killed him and reigned in his place . * And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah , and all that he did , behold , they are written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel . * In the fifty second year of Azariah the king of Judah , Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel , twenty years in Samaria . * And he did the evil in the eyes of Jehovah ; he did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , who caused Israel to sin . * In the days of Pekah the king of Israel , Tiglath-pileser the king of Assyria came and took Ijon , and Abel-beth-maachah , and Janoah , and Kedesh , and Hazor , and Gilead , and Galilee , all the land of Naphtali , and removed them to Assyria . * And Hoshea the son of Elah conspired 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 . * And the rest of the acts of Pekah and all that he did , behold , they are written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Israel . * In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah the king of Israel , Jotham the son of Uzziah , the king of Judah , began to reign . * He was a son of twenty five years 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 the right in the eyes of Jehovah ; he did according to all that his father Uzziah did . * Only , the high places were not taken away ; the people still sacrificed and burned incense in high places ; he built the Upper Gate of the house of Jehovah . * And the rest of the acts of Jotham , and all that he did , are they not written in the Book of the Matters of the Days of the Kings of Judah ? * In those days Jehovah began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah . * And Jotham lay with his fathers , and was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David . And his son Ahaz reigned in his place .
