2 Kings 15:19-38
191PulH6322, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, cameH935 againstH5921 the landH776, and MenahemH4505 gaveH5414 PulH6322 a 2thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 so that his handH3027 might be with him to 3strengthenH2388 the 4kingdomH4467 5under his ruleH3027. 20Then MenahemH4505 collectedH3318 the moneyH3701 from IsraelH3478, from allH3605 the 6mightyH1368 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 stayH5975 thereH8033 in the landH776. 21Now as for 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 7layH7901 downH7901 with his fathersH1, and his sonH1121 PekahiahH6494 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478.
23In 8the fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, PekahiahH6494 the sonH1121 of MenahemH4505 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned for twoH8147 yearsH8141. 24He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068; he did not desistH5493 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028, into whichH834 he misledH2398 IsraelH3478. 25Then PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, his officerH7991, conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him and struckH5221 him in SamariaH8111, in 9the 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 inH8478 his placeH8478. 26Now as for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of PekahiahH6494 and everythingH3605 that he didH6213, beholdH2009, they are writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.
27In 10the fifty-secondH2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, 11PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and he reigned for twentyH6242 yearsH8141. 28He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068; he did not desistH5493 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028, into whichH834 he misledH2398 IsraelH3478.
29In the daysH3117 of PekahH6492 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, 1213Tiglath-pileserH8407 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935 and tookH3947 IjonH5859, Abel-beth-maacahH62, JanoahH3239, KedeshH6943, HazorH2674, GileadH1568, and GalileeH1552, allH3605 the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321; and 14he ledH1540 15their populations intoH1540 exileH1540 to AssyriaH804. 30And HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 formedH7194 a conspiracyH7195 againstH5921 PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, and struckH5221 him and putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191, and he becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478, in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818. 31Now as for 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.
32In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of 16UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 becameH4427 kingH4427. 3317He was twenty-fiveH6242H2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 for sixteenH8337H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was JerushaH3388 the daughterH1323 of ZadokH6659. 3418He didH6213 whatH3477 wasH3477 rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068; he actedH6213 in accordance with everythingH3605 that his fatherH1 UzziahH5818 had doneH6213. 35OnlyH7534 19the highH1116 placesH1116 were not eliminatedH5493; the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 and burnedH6999 incenseH6999 on the highH1116 placesH1116. 20He builtH1129 the upperH5945 gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 36Now as for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JothamH3147 whichH834 he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 37In thoseH1992 daysH3117 21the LordH3068 beganH2490 to sendH7971 RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of AramH758 and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 against JudahH3063. 38And JothamH3147 22layH7901 downH7901 with his fathersH1, and he was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732; and his sonH1121 AhazH271 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478.
