2 Kings 15:19-38

19And PulH6322 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935 against the landH776: and MenahemH4505 gaveH5414 PulH6322 a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, that his handH3027 might be with him to confirmH2388 the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027. 20And MenahemH4505 exactedH3318 the moneyH3701 of IsraelH3478, even of all the mighty menH1368 of wealthH2428, of eachH259 manH376 fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, to giveH5414 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 turned backH7725, and stayedH5975 not there in the landH776.1

21And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of MenahemH4505, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 22And MenahemH4505 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and PekahiahH6494 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.

23In the fiftiethH8141H2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 PekahiahH6494 the sonH1121 of MenahemH4505 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned two yearsH8141. 24And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068: he departedH5493 not from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 25But PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, a captainH7991 of his, conspiredH7194 against him, and smoteH5221 him in SamariaH8111, in the palaceH759 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, with ArgobH709 and AriehH745, and with him fiftyH2572 menH376 of the GileaditesH1569H1121: and he killedH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his room. 26And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of PekahiahH6494, and all that he didH6213, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.

27In the twoH8141H8147 and fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reigned twentyH6242 yearsH8141. 28And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068: he departedH5493 not from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 29In the daysH3117 of PekahH6492 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 Tiglath–pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and tookH3947 IjonH5859, and Abel–beth–maachahH62, and JanoahH3239, and KedeshH6943, and HazorH2674, and GileadH1568, and GalileeH1551, all the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321, and carried them captiveH1540 to AssyriaH804. 30And HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195 against PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, and smoteH5221 him, and slewH4191 him, and reignedH4427 in his stead, in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818. 31And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of PekahH6492, and all that he didH6213, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.

32In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to reignH4427. 33FiveH2568 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 sixteenH6240H8337 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was JerushaH3388, the daughterH1323 of ZadokH6659. 34And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068: he didH6213 according to all that his fatherH1 UzziahH5818 had doneH6213.

35Howbeit the high placesH1116 were not removedH5493: the peopleH5971 sacrificedH2076 and burned incenseH6999 still in the high placesH1116. He builtH1129 the higherH5945 gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.

36Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JothamH3147, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 37In those daysH3117 YhwhH3068 beganH2490 to sendH7971 against JudahH3063 RezinH7526 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758, and PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425. 38And JothamH3147 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and AhazH271 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
