15:001

In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign

15:002

Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem

15:003

And he did that which was right in the eyes of HaShem, according to all that his father Amaziah had done

15:004

Howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and offered in the high places

15:005

And HaShem smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a house set apart. And Jotham the king's son was over the household, judging the people of the land

15:006

Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah

15:007

And Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David; and Jotham his son reigned in his stead

15:008

In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months

15:009

And he did that which was evil in the sight of HaShem, as his fathers had done; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin

15:010

And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead

15:011

Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel

15:012

This was the word of HaShem which He spoke unto Jehu, saying: 'Thy sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel.' And so it came to pass

15:013

Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned the space of a month in Samaria

15:014

And Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead

15:015

Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel

15:016

Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the borders thereof, from Tirzah; because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up

15:017

In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria

15:018

And he did that which was evil in the sight of HaShem; he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin

15:019

There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand

15:020

And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land

15:021

Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel

15:022

And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead

15:023

In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years

15:024

And he did that which was evil in the sight of HaShem; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin

15:025

And Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the castle of the king's house, by Argob and by Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites; and he slew him, and reigned in his stead

15:026

Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel

15:027

In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years

15:028

And he did that which was evil in the sight of HaShem; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin

15:029

In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took 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

15:030

And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah

15:031

Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel

15:032

In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign

15:033

Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok

15:034

And he did that which was right in the eyes of HaShem; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done

15:035

Howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and offered in the high places. He built the upper gate of the house of HaShem

15:036

Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah

15:037

In those days HaShem began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Remaliah

15:038

And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead
