2 Kings 15

1In the twentyH6242 and seventhH7651 yearH8141 of JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began AzariahH5838 sonH1121 of AmaziahH558 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to reignH4427. 2SixteenH6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was he when he beganH1961 to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 twoH8147 and fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was JecoliahH3203 of JerusalemH3389. 3And he didH6213 that whichH834 was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to allH3605 that his fatherH1 AmaziahH558 had doneH6213. 4Howbeit the highH1116 placesH1116 were notH3808 takenH5493 awayH5493: the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 and burntH6999 incenseH6999 in the highH1116 placesH1116. 5And the LORDH3068 smote the kingH4428, soH1961 that he was a leperH6879 unto the dayH3117 of his deathH4194, and dweltH3427 in a several houseH1004. And JothamH3147 the king’sH4428 sonH1121 was over the householdH1004, judgingH8199 the peopleH5971 of the landH776: 6NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AzariahH5838, and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 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 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 8In the thirtyH7970 and eighthH8083 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JeroboamH3379 reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 sixH8337 monthsH2320. 9And he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as his fathersH1 had doneH6213: he departedH5493 notH3808 from the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, wherewith he madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 10And ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him, and smoteH5221 him beforeH5921 the peopleH5971, and slewH5221 him, and reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 11NowH2009 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ZechariahH2148, beholdH2009, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. 12This was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 whichH834 he spake unto JehuH3058, sayingH559, Thy sonsH1121 to the fourthH7243 generation shall sitH3427 uponH5921 the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. And soH3651 it cameH1961 to passH1961. 13ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 began to reignH4427 in the nineH8672 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; and he reignedH4427 the space of a monthH3391 in SamariaH8111. 14And MenahemH4505 the sonH1121 of GadiH1424 wentH935 upH5927 from TirzahH8656, and cameH935 to SamariaH8111, and smoteH5221 ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 in SamariaH8111, and slewH5221 him, and reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 15NowH2009 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ShallumH7967, and his conspiracyH7195 whichH834 he madeH7194, beholdH2009, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. 16Then MenahemH4505 smoteH5221 TiphsahH8607, and allH3605 that were therein, and the bordersH1366 thereof, from TirzahH8656: becauseH3588 they openedH6605 notH3808 to him, therefore he smoteH5221 it; and allH3605 the womenH2030 therein that were with childH2030 he rippedH1234 upH1234. 17In the nineH8672 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began MenahemH4505 the sonH1121 of GadiH1424 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 tenH6235 yearsH8141 in SamariaH8111. 18And he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 notH3808 allH3605 his daysH3117 from the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, wherewith he madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 19There cameH935 againstH5921 the landH776 PulH6322 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and MenahemH4505 gaveH5414 PulH6322 a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, that his handH3027 might be with him to confirm the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027. 20And MenahemH4505 exactedH3318 the moneyH3701 of IsraelH3478, evenH3808 of allH3605 the mightyH1368 menH376 of wealthH2428, of eachH376 manH376 fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, to giveH5414 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. SoH5414 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 turnedH7725 backH7725, and stayedH5975 notH3808 there in the landH776. 21NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of MenahemH4505, and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 22And MenahemH4505 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and PekahiahH6494 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 23In the fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 PekahiahH6494 the sonH1121 of MenahemH4505 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reignedH4427 two yearsH8141. 24And he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 notH3808 from the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, wherewith he madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 25And PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, his captain, conspiredH7194 againstH5921 him, and smoteH5221 him in SamariaH8111, in the castleH759 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fiftyH2572 menH376 of the GileaditesH1569: and he slewH5221 him, and reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 26NowH2009 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of PekahiahH6494, and allH3605 that he didH6213, beholdH2009, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. 27In the twoH8147 and fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111, and reignedH4427 twentyH6242 yearsH8141. 28And he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 notH3808 from the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, wherewith he madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 29In the daysH3117 of PekahH6492 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 Tiglath-pileserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and tookH3947 IjonH5859, and Abel-beth-maacahH62, and JanoahH3239, and KedeshH6943, and HazorH2674, and GileadH1568, and GalileeH1551, allH3605 the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321; and he carriedH1540 them captiveH1540 to AssyriaH804. 30And HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195 againstH5921 PekahH6492 the sonH1121 of RemaliahH7425, and smoteH5221 him, and slewH5221 him, and reignedH4427 in his steadH8478, in the twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818. 31NowH2009 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of PekahH6492, and allH3605 that he didH6213, beholdH2009, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 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 beganH1961 to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 sixteenH6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was JerushaH3388 the daughterH1323 of ZadokH6659. 34And he didH6213 that whichH834 was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068: he didH6213 according to allH3605 that his fatherH1 UzziahH5818 had doneH6213. 35Howbeit the highH1116 placesH1116 were notH3808 takenH5493 awayH5493: the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 and burnedH6999 incenseH6999 in the highH1116 placesH1116. He builtH1129 the upperH5945 gateH8179 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 36NowH3117 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JothamH3147, and allH3117 that he didH6213, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 37In thoseH1992 daysH3117 the LORDH3068 beganH2490 to sendH7971 againstH7425 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 steadH8478.
