ULT 2KI Chapter 15

15 In the year of the 27th year of Jeroboam the king of Israel, Azariah the son of Amaziah, the king of Judah, became king. 2 He was a son of 16 years when he became king, and he was king 52 years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Jekoliah, from Jerusalem. 3 And he did what was upright in the eyes of Yahweh, like all that Amaziah his father had done. 4 Only, the high places were not removed—the people still were sacrificing and burning incense at the high places. 5 And Yahweh touched the king, and he suffered a skin disease until the day of his death, and he lived in a house of separation. And Jotham the son of the king was over the house, judging the people of the land. 6 But the rest of the words of Azariah, and all that he did—are they not written on the scroll of the words of the days 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 year of the 38th year of Azariah the king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in Samaria—six months. 9 And he did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh, just as his fathers had done. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. 10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and he struck him in front of the people, and he killed him. And he became king in his place. 11 But the rest of the words of Zechariah, look at them—written on the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel. 12 It was the word of Yahweh that he had spoken to Jehu, by saying, “Sons of fourth will sit for you on the throne of Israel.” And it was thus.

13 Shallum the son of Jabesh became king in the year of the 39th year of Azariah the king of Judah and he was king a month of days in Samaria. 14 And Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and he came to Samaria, and he struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria. And he killed him, and he became king in his place. 15 But the rest of the words of Shallum and his conspiracy that he conspired, look at them—written on the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel. 16 Then Menahem struck Tiphsah and all who were in it, and its borders from Tirzah, because it did not open. And he struck, all its pregnant women he split open. 17 In the year of the 39th year of Azariah the king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi became king over Israel—ten years in Samaria. 18 And he did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin all his days. 19 Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave to Pul 1,000 disks of silver, so that his hands would be with him to strengthen the kingdom in his hand. 20 And Menahem brought out the silver over Israel, over all the mighty ones of wealth, to give to the king of Assyria 50 silver shekels for one man. And the king of Assyria returned, and he did not stand there in the land. 21 But the rest of the words of Menahem, and all that he did—are they not written on the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 22 And Menahem slept with his fathers, and Pekahiah his son became king in his place.

23 In the year of the 50th year of Azariah the king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem became king over Israel in Samaria—two years. 24 And he did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. 25 And Pekah the son of Remaliah, his third officer, conspired against him, and he struck him in Samaria, in the palace of the house of the king—Argob and Arieh and with him 50 men of the sons of the Gileadites. And he killed him, and he became king in his place. 26 But the rest of the words of Pekahiah, and all that he did, look at them—written on the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel.

27 In the year of the 52nd year of Azariah the king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah became king over Israel in Samaria—20 years. 28 And he did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

29 In the days of Pekah the king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser the king of Assyria came, and he took Ijon and Abel-Beth Maacah and Janoah and Kedesh and Hazor and Gilead and Galilee—all the land of Naphtali, and he exiled them to Assyria. 30 And Hoshea the son of Elah conspired a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and he struck him, and he killed him. And he became king in his place, in the 20th year of Jotham the son of Uzziah. 31 But the rest of the words of Pekah and all that he did, look at them—written on the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Israel.

32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, Jotham the son of Azariah, the king of Judah, became king. 33 He was a son of 25 years when he became king, and he was king 16 years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. 34 And he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh. Like all that Azariah his father did, he did. 35 Only the high places were not removed—the people still were sacrificing and were burning incense at the high places. He himself built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh. 36 But the rest of the words of Jotham that he did—are they not written on the scroll of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? 37 In those days, Yahweh began to send Rezin the 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.
