2 Kings 15

1 Azariah his good reign. 5 He dying a leper, Jotham succeedeth. 8 Zachariah, the last of Jehu's generation, reigning ill, is slain by Shallum. 13 Shallum, reigning a month, is slain by Menahem. 16 Menahem strengtheneth himself by Pul. 21 Pekahiah succeedeth him. 23 Pekahiah is slain by Pekah. 27 Pekah is oppressed by Tiglath-pileser, and slain by Hoshea. 32 Jotham's good reign. 36 Ahaz succeedeth him.

 15:1 In the twenty-seventh 6242 7651 year 8141 of Jeroboam 3379 king 4428 of Israel 3478, Azariah 5838 son 1121 of Amaziah 558 king 4428 of Judah 3063 became 4427a king 4427a.

 15:2 He was sixteen 8337a 6240 years 8141 old 1121 when he became 4427a king 4427a, and he reigned 4427a fifty-two 2572 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389; and his mother’s 517 name 8034 was Jecoliah 3203 of Jerusalem 3389.

 15:3 He did 6213a right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, according to all 3605 that his father 1 Amaziah 558 had done 6213a.

 15:4 Only 7534 the high 1116 places 1116 were not taken 5493 away 5493; the people 5971a still 5750 sacrificed 2076 and burned 6999 incense 6999 on the high 1116 places 1116.

 15:5 The LORD 3068 struck 5060 the king 4428, so that he was a leper 6879 to the day 3117 of his death 4194. And he lived 3427 in a separate 2669 house 1004, while Jotham 3147 the king’s 4428 son 1121 was over 5921 the household 1004, judging 8199 the people 5971a of the land 776.

 15:6 Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Azariah 5838 and all 3605 that he did 6213a, are they not written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Judah 3063?

 15:7 And Azariah 5838 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and they buried 6912 him with his fathers 1 in the city 5892b of David 1732, and Jotham 3147 his son 1121 became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478.

 15:8 ¶ In the thirty-eighth 7970 8083 year 8141 of Azariah 5838 king 4428 of Judah 3063, Zechariah 2148a the son 1121 of Jeroboam 3379 became 4427a king 4427a over 5921 Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111 [for] six 8337a months 2320.

 15:9 He did 6213a evil 7451a in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, as his fathers 1 had done 6213a; he did not depart 5493 from the sins 2403b of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, which 834 he made Israel 3478 sin 2398.

 15:10 Then Shallum 7967 the son 1121 of Jabesh 3003 conspired 7194 against 5921 him and struck 5221 him before 6904 the people 5971a and killed 4191 him, and reigned 4427a in his place 8478.

 15:11 Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Zechariah 2148a, behold 2009 they are written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Israel 3478.

 15:12 This 1931 is the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 which 834 He spoke 1696 to Jehu 3058, saying 559, “Your sons 1121 to the fourth 7243 generation shall sit 3427 on the throne 3678 of Israel 3478.” And so 3651 it was.

 15:13 ¶ Shallum 7967 son 1121 of Jabesh 3003 became 4427a king 4427a in the thirty-ninth 7970 8672 year 8141 of Uzziah 5818 king 4428 of Judah 3063, and he reigned 4427a one month 3391 in Samaria 8111.

 15:14 Then Menahem 4505 son 1121 of Gadi 1424 went 5927 up from Tirzah 8656 and came 935 to Samaria 8111, and struck 5221 Shallum 7967 son 1121 of Jabesh 3003 in Samaria 8111, and killed 4191 him and became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478.

 15:15 Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Shallum 7967 and his conspiracy 7195 which 834 he made 7194, behold 2009 they are written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Israel 3478.

 15:16 Then 227 Menahem 4505 struck 5221 Tiphsah 8607 and all 3605 who 834 were in it and its borders 1366 from Tirzah 8656, because 3588 they did not open 6605a [to him]; therefore he struck 5221 [it] and ripped 1234 up all 3605 its women 2030 who were with child 2030.

 15:17 ¶ In the thirty-ninth 7970 8672 year 8141 of Azariah 5838 king 4428 of Judah 3063, Menahem 4505 son 1121 of Gadi 1424 became 4427a king 4427a over 5921 Israel 3478 [and reigned] ten 6235 years 8141 in Samaria 8111.

 15:18 He did 6213a evil 7451a in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068; he did not depart 5493 all 3605 his days 3117 from the sins 2403b of Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat 5028, which 834 he made Israel 3478 sin 2398.

 15:19 ¶ Pul 6322, king 4428 of Assyria 804b, came 935 against 5921 the land 776, and Menahem 4505 gave 5414 Pul 6322 a thousand 505 talents 3603 of silver 3701 so that his hand 3027 might be with him to strengthen 2388 the kingdom 4467 under his rule 3027.

 15:20 Then Menahem 4505 exacted 3318 the money 3701 from Israel 3478, even from all 3605 the mighty 1368 men 1368 of wealth 2428, from each 259 man 376 fifty 2572 shekels 8255 of silver 3701 to pay 5414 the king 4428 of Assyria 804b. So the king 4428 of Assyria 804b returned 7725 and did not remain 5975 there 8033 in the land 776.

 15:21 Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Menahem 4505 and all 3605 that he did 6213a, are they not written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Israel 3478?

 15:22 And Menahem 4505 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and Pekahiah 6494 his son 1121 became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478.

 15:23 ¶ In the fiftieth 2572 year 8141 of Azariah 5838 king 4428 of Judah 3063, Pekahiah 6494 son 1121 of Menahem 4505 became 4427a king 4427a over 5921 Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111, [and reigned] two 8147 years 8141.

 15:24 He did 6213a evil 7451a in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068; he did not depart 5493 from the sins 2403b of Jeroboam 3379 son 1121 of Nebat 5028, which 834 he made Israel 3478 sin 2398.

 15:25 Then Pekah 6492 son 1121 of Remaliah 7425, his officer 7991c, conspired 7194 against 5921 him and struck 5221 him in Samaria 8111, in the castle 759 of the king’s 4428 house 1004 with Argob 709b and Arieh 745a; and with him were fifty 2572 men 376 of the Gileadites 1121 1569, and he killed 4191 him and became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478.

 15:26 Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Pekahiah 6494 and all 3605 that he did 6213a, behold 2009 they are written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Israel 3478.

 15:27 ¶ In the fifty-second 2572 year 8141 of Azariah 5838 king 4428 of Judah 3063, Pekah 6492 son 1121 of Remaliah 7425 became 4427a king 4427a over 5921 Israel 3478 in Samaria 8111, [and reigned] twenty 6242 years 8141.

 15:28 He did 6213a evil 7451a in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068; he did not depart 5493 from the sins 2403b of Jeroboam 3379 son 1121 of Nebat 5028, which 834 he made Israel 3478 sin 2398.

 15:29 ¶ In the days 3117 of Pekah 6492 king 4428 of Israel 3478, Tiglath-pileser 8407 king 4428 of Assyria 804b came 935 and captured 3947 Ijon 5859 and Abel-beth-maacah 62 and Janoah 3239a and Kedesh 6943 and Hazor 2674 and Gilead 1568 and Galilee 1552, all 3605 the land 776 of Naphtali 5321; and he carried 1540 them captive 1540 to Assyria 804b.

 15:30 And Hoshea 1954 the son 1121 of Elah 425 made 7194 a conspiracy 7195 against 5921 Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425, and struck 5221 him and put 4191 him to death 4191 and became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478, in the twentieth 6242 year 8141 of Jotham 3147 the son 1121 of Uzziah 5818.

 15:31 Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Pekah 6492 and all 3605 that he did 6213a, behold 2009, they are written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Israel 3478.

 15:32 ¶ In the second 8147 year 8141 of Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425 king 4428 of Israel 3478, Jotham 3147 the son 1121 of Uzziah 5818 king 4428 of Judah 3063 became 4427a king 4427a.

 15:33 He was twenty-five 6242 2568 years 8141 old 1121 when he became 4427a king 4427a, and he reigned 4427a sixteen 8337a 6240 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389; and his mother’s 517 name 8034 [was] Jerusha 3388 the daughter 1323 of Zadok 6659.

 15:34 He did 6213a what 3477 was right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068; he did 6213a according to all 3605 that his father 1 Uzziah 5818 had done 6213a.

 15:35 Only 7534 the high 1116 places 1116 were not taken 5493 away 5493; the people 5971a still 5750 sacrificed 2076 and burned 6999 incense 6999 on the high 1116 places 1116. He built 1129 the upper 5945a gate 8179 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

 15:36 Now the rest 3499a of the acts 1697 of Jotham 3147 and all 3605 that he did 6213a, are they not written 3789 in the Book 5612 of the Chronicles 1697 3117 of the Kings 4428 of Judah 3063?

 15:37 In those 1992a days 3117 the LORD 3068 began 2490c to send 7971 Rezin 7526 king 4428 of Aram 758 and Pekah 6492 the son 1121 of Remaliah 7425 against Judah 3063.

 15:38 And Jotham 3147 slept 7901 with his fathers 1, and he was buried 6912 with his fathers 1 in the city 5892b of David 1732 his father 1; and Ahaz 271 his son 1121 became 4427a king 4427a in his place 8478.
