Pekah Reigns in Israel

In the fifty-second year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah became king of Israel, [and he reigned] in Samaria twenty years. 28 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.

29 

In the days of Pekah king of Israel, vvv Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured Ijon, vvv vvv Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, including all the land of Naphtali, and he took the people as captives to Assyria.

Then Hoshea son of Elah led a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah. In the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah, [Hoshea] attacked [Pekah], killed him, and reigned in his place.

As for the rest of the acts of Pekah, along with all his accomplishments they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
