25And PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, his captain, conspired against him, and smote him in SamariaH8111, in the fortress of the king's houseH1004, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fiftyH2572 menH376 of the Gileadites; and he slew him, and reignedH4427 in his stead.

26And the restH3499 of the acts of PekahiahH6494, and all that he did, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.

27In the fifty-secondH2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, for twentyH6242 yearsH8141.

28And he did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah: he departedH5493 not from the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.

29In the daysH3117 of PekahH6492 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, Tiglath-PileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935 and tookH3947 IjonH5859, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and JanoahH3239, and KedeshH6943, and HazorH2674, and GileadH1568, and GalileeH1551, all the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321, and carried them captive to AssyriaH804.

30And HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 made a conspiracyH7195 against PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, and smote him and slew him; and he reignedH4427 in his stead, in the twentieth yearH8141 of JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818.

31And the restH3499 of the acts of PekahH6492, and all that he did, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.

32In the second yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, began to reignH4427.

33He was twenty-five yearsH8141 old when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 sixteen yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and his mother's nameH8034 was JerushaH3388, the daughterH1323 of ZadokH6659.

34And he did what was rightH3477 in the sight of Jehovah: he did according to all that his fatherH1 UzziahH5818 had done.

35OnlyH7535, the highH1116 placesH1116 were not removedH5493: the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 and burned incenseH6999 on the highH1116 placesH1116. It was he who builtH1129 the upperH5945 gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah.

36And the restH3499 of the acts of JothamH3147, and all that he did, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?

37In those daysH3117 Jehovah beganH2490 to sendH7971 against JudahH3063 RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of Syria, and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425.
