In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
|
| 2 |
Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem . And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem .
|
| 3 |
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;
|
| 4 |
Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
|
| 5 |
And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.
|
| 6 |
And 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?
|
| 7 |
So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
|
| 8 |
In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
|
| 9 |
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
|
| 10 |
And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
|
| 11 |
And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
|
| 12 |
This was the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation . And so it came to pass.
|
| 13 |
Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria .
|
| 14 |
For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah , and came to Samaria , and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria , and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
|
| 15 |
And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
|
| 16 |
Then Menahem smote Tiphsah , and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah : because they opened not to him , therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.
|
| 17 |
In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria .
|
| 18 |
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
|
| 19 |
And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
|
| 20 |
And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria . So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.
|
| 21 |
And 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?
|
| 22 |
And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.
|
| 23 |
In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria , and reigned two years.
|
| 24 |
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
|
| 25 |
But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria , in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room.
|
| 26 |
And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
|
| 27 |
In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria , and reigned twenty years.
|
| 28 |
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
|
| 29 |
In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria , and took Ijon , and Abelbethmaachah , and Janoah , and Kedesh , and Hazor , and Gilead , and Galilee , all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria .
|
| 30 |
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.
|
| 31 |
And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
|
| 32 |
In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.
|
| 33 |
Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem . And his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
|
| 34 |
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.
|
| 35 |
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.
|
| 36 |
Now 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?
|
| 37 |
In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria , and Pekah the son of Remaliah.
|
| 38 |
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.
