[1] In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign. [2] He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. [3] He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. [4] However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. [5] Yahweh struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. 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, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [7] Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Jotham his son reigned in his place. [8] In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months. [9] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as his fathers had done. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. [10] 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 of the kings of Israel. [12] This was Yahweh’s word which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass. [13] Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned for a month in Samaria. [14] Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, came to Samaria, struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, killed him, and reigned 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 of the kings of Israel. [16] Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were in it and its border areas, from Tirzah. He attacked it because they didn’t open their gates to him, and he ripped up all their women who were with child. [17] In the thirty ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria. [18] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. [19] Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talentsⓘ of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. [20] Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekelsⓘ of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land. [21] Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? [22] Menahem slept with his fathers, and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place. [23] In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria for two years. [24] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. [25] Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him and attacked him in Samaria, in the fortress of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites. He killed him, and reigned 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 of the kings of Israel. [27] In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria for twenty years. [28] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. [29] In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria came and took Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria. [30] Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, attacked him, killed him, and reigned 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 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 began to reign. [33] He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. [34] He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes. He did according to all that his father Uzziah had done. [35] However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of Yahweh’s house. [36] Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? [37] In those days, Yahweh began to send Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. [38] Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

[1] In the twenty H6242 and seventh H7651 year H8141 of Jeroboam H3379 king H4428 of Israel H3478 began Azariah H5838 son H1121 of Amaziah H558 king H4428 of Judah H3063 to reign. H4427 (QalPerf) [2] Sixteen H8337 years H8141 old H1121 was he when he began to reign, H4427 (QalInf) and he reigned H4427 (QalPerf) two H8147 and fifty H2572 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 And his mother’s H517 name H8034 was Jecholiah H3203 of Jerusalem. H3389 [3] And he did H6213 (QalImpf) that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the Lord, H3068 according to all that his father H1 Amaziah H558 had done; H6213 (QalPerf) [4] save that the high places H1116 were not removed: H5493 (QalPerf) the people H5971 sacrificed H2076 (PielPtc) and burnt incense H6999 (PielPtc) still on the high places. H1116 [5] And the Lord H3068 smote H5060 (PielImpf) the king, H4428 so that he was a leper H6879 (PualPtc) unto the day H3117 of his death, H4194 and dwelt H3427 (QalImpf) in a several H2669 house. H1004 And Jotham H3147 the king’s H4428 son H1121 was over the house, H1004 judging H8199 (QalActPtc) the people H5971 of the land. H776 [6] And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Azariah, H5838 and all that he did, H6213 (QalPerf) are they not written H3789 (QalPasPtc) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 of the kings H4428 of Judah? H3063 [7] So Azariah H5838 slept H7901 (QalImpf) with his fathers; H1 and they buried H6912 (QalImpf) him with his fathers H1 in the city H5892 of David: H1732 and Jotham H3147 his son H1121 reigned H4427 (QalImpf) in his stead.

Israel’s Last Kings

[8] In the thirty H7970 and eighth H8083 year H8141 of Azariah H5838 king H4428 of Judah H3063 did Zachariah H2148 the son H1121 of Jeroboam H3379 reign H4427 (QalPerf) over Israel H3478 in Samaria H8111 six H8337 months. H2320 [9] And he did H6213 (QalImpf) that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the Lord, H3068 as his fathers H1 had done: H6213 (QalPerf) he departed H5493 (QalPerf) not from the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat, H5028 who made Israel H3478 to sin. H2398 (HiphPerf) [10] And Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Jabesh H3003 conspired H7194 (QalImpf) against him, and smote H5221 (HiphImpf) him before H6905 the people, H5971 and slew H4191 (HiphImpf) him, and reigned H4427 (QalImpf) in his stead. [11] And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Zachariah, H2148 behold, they are written H3789 (QalPasPtc) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 of the kings H4428 of Israel. H3478 [12] This was the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 which he spake H1696 (PielPerf) unto Jehu, H3058 saying, H559 (QalInf) Thy sons H1121 shall sit H3427 (QalImpf) on the throne H3678 of Israel H3478 unto the fourth H7243 generation. And so it came to pass. [13] Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Jabesh H3003 began to reign H4427 (QalPerf) in the nine H8672 and thirtieth H7970 year H8141 of Uzziah H5818 king H4428 of Judah; H3063 and he reigned H4427 (QalImpf) a full H3117 month H3391§ in Samaria. H8111 [14] For Menahem H4505 the son H1121 of Gadi H1424 went up H5927 (QalImpf) from Tirzah, H8656 and came H935 (QalImpf) to Samaria, H8111 and smote H5221 (HiphImpf) Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Jabesh H3003 in Samaria, H8111 and slew H4191 (HiphImpf) him, and reigned H4427 (QalImpf) in his stead. [15] And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Shallum, H7967 and his conspiracy H7195 which he made, H7194 (QalPerf) behold, they are written H3789 (QalPasPtc) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 of the kings H4428 of Israel. H3478 [16] Then Menahem H4505 smote H5221 (HiphImpf) Tiphsah, H8607 and all that were therein, and the coasts H1366 thereof from Tirzah: H8656 because they opened H6605 (QalPerf) not to him, therefore he smote H5221 (HiphImpf) it; and all the women therein that were with child H2030 he ripped up. H1234 (PielPerf) [17] In the nine H8672 and thirtieth H7970 year H8141 of Azariah H5838 king H4428 of Judah H3063 began Menahem H4505 the son H1121 of Gadi H1424 to reign H4427 (QalPerf) over Israel, H3478 and reigned ten H6235 years H8141 in Samaria. H8111 [18] And he did H6213 (QalImpf) that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the Lord: H3068 he departed H5493 (QalPerf) not all his days H3117 from the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat, H5028 who made Israel H3478 to sin. H2398 (HiphPerf) [19] And Pul H6322 the king H4428 of Assyria H804 came H935 (QalPerf) against the land: H776 and Menahem H4505 gave H5414 (QalImpf) Pul H6322 a thousand H505 talents H3603 of silver, H3701 that his hand H3027 might be with him to confirm H2388 (HiphInf) the kingdom H4467 in his hand. H3027 [20] And Menahem H4505 exacted H3318 (HiphImpf)§ the money H3701 of Israel, H3478 even of all the mighty men H1368 of wealth, H2428 of each H259 man H376 fifty H2572 shekels H8255 of silver, H3701 to give H5414 (QalInf) to the king H4428 of Assyria. H804 So the king H4428 of Assyria H804 turned back, H7725 (QalImpf) and stayed H5975 (QalPerf) not there in the land. H776 [21] And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Menahem, H4505 and all that he did, H6213 (QalPerf) are they not written H3789 (QalPasPtc) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 of the kings H4428 of Israel? H3478 [22] And Menahem H4505 slept H7901 (QalImpf) with his fathers; H1 and Pekahiah H6494 his son H1121 reigned H4427 (QalImpf) in his stead. [23] In the fiftieth H2572 year H8141 of Azariah H5838 king H4428 of Judah H3063 Pekahiah H6494 the son H1121 of Menahem H4505 began to reign H4427 (QalPerf) over Israel H3478 in Samaria, H8111 and reigned two years. H8141 [24] And he did H6213 (QalImpf) that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the Lord: H3068 he departed H5493 (QalPerf) not from the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat, H5028 who made Israel H3478 to sin. H2398 (HiphPerf) [25] But Pekah H6492 the son H1121 of Remaliah, H7425 a captain H7991 of his, conspired H7194 (QalImpf) against him, and smote H5221 (HiphImpf) him in Samaria, H8111 in the palace H759 of the king’s H4428 house, H1004 with Argob H709 and Arieh, H745 and with him fifty H2572 men H376 of the Gileadites: H1121 and he killed H4191 (HiphImpf) him, and reigned H4427 (QalImpf) in his room. [26] And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Pekahiah, H6494 and all that he did, H6213 (QalPerf) behold, they are written H3789 (QalPasPtc) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 of the kings H4428 of Israel. H3478 [27] In the two H8147 and fiftieth H2572 year H8141 of Azariah H5838 king H4428 of Judah H3063 Pekah H6492 the son H1121 of Remaliah H7425 began to reign H4427 (QalPerf) over Israel H3478 in Samaria, H8111 and reigned twenty H6242 years. H8141 [28] And he did H6213 (QalImpf) that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the Lord: H3068 he departed H5493 (QalPerf) not from the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat, H5028 who made Israel H3478 to sin. H2398 (HiphPerf) [29] In the days H3117 of Pekah H6492 king H4428 of Israel H3478 came H935 (QalPerf) Tiglath-pileser H8407 king H4428 of Assyria, H804 and took H3947 (QalImpf) Ijon, H5859 and Abel-beth-maachah, H62 and Janoah, H3239 and Kedesh, H6943 and Hazor, H2674 and Gilead, H1568 and Galilee, H1551 all the land H776 of Naphtali, H5321 and carried them captive H1540 (HiphImpf) to Assyria. H804 [30] And Hoshea H1954 the son H1121 of Elah H425 made H7194 (QalImpf) a conspiracy H7195 against Pekah H6492 the son H1121 of Remaliah, H7425 and smote H5221 (HiphImpf) him, and slew H4191 (HiphImpf) him, and reigned H4427 (QalImpf) in his stead, in the twentieth H6242 year H8141 of Jotham H3147 the son H1121 of Uzziah. H5818 [31] And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Pekah, H6492 and all that he did, H6213 (QalPerf) behold, they are written H3789 (QalPasPtc) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 of the kings H4428 of Israel.

H6213 (QalPerf) [35] Howbeit the high places H1116 were not removed: H5493 (QalPerf) the people H5971 sacrificed H2076 (PielPtc) and burned incense H6999 (PielPtc) still in the high places.
