*
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 dabar #
of the kings of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
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 shesh #
years in Jerusalem .
And his mothers 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 dabar #
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 .
