Azariah Reigns in Judah
1In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, #2 Kin. 15:13, 30Azariah the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, #2 Kin. 14:21; 2 Chr. 26:1, 3, 4became king. 2He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 3And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done, 4#2 Kin. 12:3; 14:4; 15:35except that the high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 5Then the Lord #2 Chr. 26:19–23; Ps. 78:31struck the king, so that he was a leper until the day of his #Is. 6:1death; so he #(Lev. 13:46); Num. 12:14dwelt in an isolated house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the royal house, judging the people of the land.
6Now 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? 7So Azariah rested with his fathers, and #2 Chr. 26:23they buried him with his fathers in the City of David. Then Jotham his son reigned in his place.
Zechariah Reigns in Israel
8In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, #2 Kin. 14:29Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months. 9And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, #2 Kin. 14:24as his fathers had done; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. 10Then Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and #Amos 7:9struck and killed him in front of the people; and he reigned in his place.
11Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12This was the word of the Lord which He spoke to Jehu, saying, #2 Kin. 10:30“Your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.” And so it was.
Shallum Reigns in Israel
13Shallum the son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria. 14For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from #1 Kin. 14:17; Song 6:4Tirzah, came to Samaria, and struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria and killed him; and he reigned in his place.
15Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and the conspiracy which he led, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 16Then from Tirzah, Menahem attacked #1 Kin. 4:24Tiphsah, all who were there, and its territory. Because they did not surrender, therefore he attacked it. All #2 Kin. 8:12; Hos. 13:16the women there who were with child he ripped open.
Menahem Reigns in Israel
17In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi became king over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria. 18And he did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. 19#1 Chr. 5:26; Is. 66:19; Hos. 8:9Pul king of Assyria came against the land; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to #2 Kin. 14:5strengthen the kingdom under his control. 20And Menahem #2 Kin. 23:35exacted the money from Israel, from all the very wealthy, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and did not stay there in the land.
21Now 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? 22So Menahem rested with his fathers. Then Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.
Pekahiah Reigns in Israel
23In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years. 24And he did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. 25Then Pekah the son of Remaliah, an officer of his, conspired against him and killed him in Samaria, in the #1 Kin. 16:18citadel of the king’s house, along with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of Gilead. He killed him and reigned in his place.
26Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Pekah Reigns in Israel
27In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, #2 Chr. 28:6; Is. 7:1Pekah the son of Remaliah became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years. 28And he did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. 29In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria #2 Kin. 16:7, 10; 1 Chr. 5:26came and took #1 Kin. 15:20Ijon, Abel Beth Maachah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he #2 Kin. 17:6carried them captive to Assyria. 30Then Hoshea the son of Elah led a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and struck and killed him; so he #2 Kin. 17:1; (Hos. 10:3, 7, 15)reigned in his place in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.
31Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Jotham Reigns in Judah
32In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, #2 Chr. 27:1Jotham the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, began to reign. 33He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. 34And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he did #2 Kin. 15:3, 4; 2 Chr. 26:4, 5according to all that his father Uzziah had done. 35#2 Kin. 15:4However the high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. #2 Chr. 23:20; 27:3He built the Upper Gate of the house of the Lord.
36Now 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? 37In those days the Lord began to send #2 Kin. 16:5–9; Is. 7:1–17Rezin king of Syria and #2 Kin. 15:26, 27Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. 38So Jotham rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
