II Kings
Chapter 15
1
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 Jehovah/God,
according
to all that his father Amaziah had done; 4
except
that the high places were not removed . . .
the
people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
5
And Jehovah/God 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 place/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 Jehovah/God,
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 place/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 Jehovah/God
which
he spoke unto Jehu, saying,
your
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 place/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
who
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 Jehovah/God.
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 place/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 Jehovah/God.
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 Jehovah/God.
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
Tiglath-Pileser 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 place/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 Jehovah/God.
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 Jehovah/God.
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 Jehovah/God
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 place/stead.
