151 In the twenty-seventh e year of Jeroboam king of Israel , Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah became king . 2 He was sixteen e years old when he became king , and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem ; and his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem . 3 He did right in the sight of the Lord , according to all that his father Amaziah had done . 4 Only the high places were not taken away ; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places . 5 The Lord struck the king , so that he was a leper to the day of his death . And he lived in a separate house , while Jotham the king's son was over the household , judging the people of the land . 6 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah and all that he did , are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles e of the Kings of Judah ? 7 And Azariah slept with his fathers , and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David , and Jotham his son became king in his place .
8 In the thirty-eighth e year of Azariah king of Judah , Zechariah the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in Samaria for six months . 9 He did evil in the sight of the Lord , as his fathers had done ; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , which he made Israel sin . 10 Then Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him and struck him before the people and killed him, and reigned in his place . 11 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah , behold they are written in the Book of the Chronicles e of the Kings of Israel . 12 This is the word of the Lord which He spoke to Jehu , saying , "Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel ." And so it was.
13 Shallum son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth e year of Uzziah king of Judah , and he reigned one month in Samaria . 14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah and came to Samaria , and struck Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria , and killed him and became king in his place . 15 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum and his conspiracy which he made , behold they are written in the Book of the Chronicles e of the Kings of Israel . 16 Then Menahem struck Tiphsah and all who were in it and its borders from Tirzah , because they did not open to him; therefore he struck it and ripped up all its women who were with child .
17 In the thirty-ninth e year of Azariah king of Judah , Menahem son of Gadi became king over Israel and reigned ten years in Samaria . 18 He did evil in the sight of the Lord ; he did not depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , which he made Israel sin . 19 Pul , king of Assyria , came against the land , and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver so that his hand might be with him to strengthen the kingdom under his rule . 20 Then Menahem exacted the money from Israel , even from all the mighty men of wealth , from each man fifty shekels of silver to pay the king of Assyria . So the king of Assyria returned and did not remain there in the land . 21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem and all that he did , are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles e of the Kings of Israel ? 22 And Menahem slept with his fathers , and Pekahiah his son became king in his place .
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah , Pekahiah son of Menahem became king over Israel in Samaria , and reigned two years . 24 He did evil in the sight of the Lord ; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat , which he made Israel sin . 25 Then Pekah son of Remaliah , his officer , conspired against him and struck him in Samaria , in the castle of the king's house with Argob and Arieh ; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites e , and he killed him and became king in his place . 26 Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah and all that he did , behold they are written in the Book of the Chronicles e of the Kings of Israel .
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah , Pekah son of Remaliah became king over Israel in Samaria , and reigned twenty years . 28 He did evil in the sight of the Lord ; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat , which he made Israel sin . 29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel , Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured Ijon and Abel-beth-maacah and Janoah and Kedesh and Hazor and Gilead and Galilee , all the land of Naphtali ; and he carried them captive to Assyria . 30 And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah , and struck him and put him to death and became king in his place , in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah . 31 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah and all that he did , behold , they are written in the Book of the Chronicles e of the Kings of Israel .
32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel , Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah became king . 33 He was twenty-five e years old when he became king , and he reigned sixteen e years in Jerusalem ; and his mother's name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok . 34 He did what was right in the sight of the Lord ; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done . 35 Only the high places were not taken away ; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places . He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord . 36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham and all that he did , are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles e of the Kings of Judah ? 37 In those days the Lord began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah . 38 And Jotham slept with his fathers , and he was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father ; and Ahaz his son became king in his place .
