Series of Kings: Azariah (Uzziah) over Judah
11In the twenty-seventhH6242H7651 yearH8141 of JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, AzariahH5838 sonH1121 of AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 becameH4427 kingH4427. 2He was 2sixteenH8337H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 fifty-twoH2572 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was 3JecoliahH3203 of JerusalemH3389. 3He didH6213 rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, according to allH3605 that his fatherH1 AmaziahH558 had doneH6213. 4OnlyH7534 4the highH1116 placesH1116 were not takenH5493 awayH5493; the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 and burnedH6999 incenseH6999 on the highH1116 placesH1116. 55The LordH3068 struckH5060 the kingH4428, so that he was a leperH6879 to the dayH3117 of his deathH4194. And he 6livedH3427 in a separateH2669 houseH1004, 7while JothamH3147 the king’sH4428 sonH1121 was overH5921 the householdH1004, judgingH8199 the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 6Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AzariahH5838 and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 7And AzariahH5838 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, and JothamH3147 his sonH1121 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478.
Zechariah over Israel
88In the thirty-eighthH7970H8083 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 for sixH8337 monthsH2320. 9He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, as his fathersH1 had doneH6213; he did not departH5493 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 sinH2398. 10Then ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him and 9struckH5221 him beforeH6904 the peopleH5971 and 10killedH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his placeH8478. 11Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ZechariahH2148, beholdH2009 they are writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. 12ThisH1931 is 11the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He spokeH1696 to JehuH3058, sayingH559, “Your sonsH1121 to the fourthH7243 generation shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.” And soH3651 it was.
13ShallumH7967 sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 becameH4427 kingH4427 in the 12thirty-ninthH7970H8672 yearH8141 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and he reignedH4427 one monthH3391 in 13SamariaH8111. 14Then MenahemH4505 sonH1121 of GadiH1424 wentH5927 up from 14TirzahH8656 and cameH935 to SamariaH8111, and struckH5221 ShallumH7967 sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 in SamariaH8111, and killedH4191 him and becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478. 15Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ShallumH7967 and his conspiracyH7195 whichH834 he madeH7194, beholdH2009 they are writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. 16ThenH227 MenahemH4505 struckH5221 TiphsahH8607 and allH3605 whoH834 were in it and its bordersH1366 from TirzahH8656, becauseH3588 they did not openH6605 to him; therefore he struckH5221 it and rippedH1234 up 15allH3605 its womenH2030 who were with childH2030.
Menahem over Israel
17In the 16thirty-ninthH7970H8672 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, MenahemH4505 sonH1121 of GadiH1424 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 and reigned tenH6235 yearsH8141 in SamariaH8111. 18He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068; he did not departH5493 allH3605 his daysH3117 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 sinH2398.
1917PulH6322, kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, cameH935 againstH5921 the landH776, and MenahemH4505 gaveH5414 PulH6322 a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 so that his handH3027 might be with him to 18strengthenH2388 the kingdomH4467 19under his ruleH3027. 20Then MenahemH4505 exactedH3318 the moneyH3701 from IsraelH3478, even from allH3605 the mightyH1368 menH1368 of wealthH2428, from eachH259 manH376 fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701 to payH5414 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 returnedH7725 and did not remainH5975 thereH8033 in the landH776. 21Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of MenahemH4505 and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 22And MenahemH4505 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and PekahiahH6494 his sonH1121 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478.
Pekahiah over Israel
23In 20the fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, PekahiahH6494 sonH1121 of MenahemH4505 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned twoH8147 yearsH8141. 24He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068; he did not departH5493 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028, whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 sinH2398. 25Then PekahH6492 sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, his officerH7991, conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him and struckH5221 him in SamariaH8111, in 21the castleH759 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004 with ArgobH709 and AriehH745; and with him were fiftyH2572 menH376 of the GileaditesH1121H1569, and he killedH4191 him and becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478. 26Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of PekahiahH6494 and allH3605 that he didH6213, beholdH2009 they are writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.

27In 22the fifty-secondH2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, 23PekahH6492 sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned twentyH6242 yearsH8141. 28He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068; he did not departH5493 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028, whichH834 he made IsraelH3478 sinH2398.
29In the daysH3117 of PekahH6492 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, 2425Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935 and 26capturedH3947 IjonH5859 and Abel-beth-maacahH62 and JanoahH3239 and KedeshH6943 and HazorH2674 and GileadH1568 and GalileeH1552, allH3605 the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321; and 27he carriedH1540 them captiveH1540 to AssyriaH804. 30And HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195 againstH5921 PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, and struckH5221 him and putH4191 him to deathH4191 and becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478, in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818. 31Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of PekahH6492 and allH3605 that he didH6213, beholdH2009, they are writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
