2 Kings 15:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 15:22

the kingdom he had usurped continued in his family.

2 Kings 15:22 In-Context

20 Menahem taxed Israel for this money. All the wealthy people had to give fifty silver shekels each to Assyria's king. So Assyria's king went home and didn't stay there in the land.

21 The rest of Menahem's deeds and all that he accomplished, aren't they written in the official records of Israel's kings?

22 Menahem lay down with his ancestors. His son Pekahiah succeeded him as king.

23 Pekahiah, Menahem's son, became king of Israel in the fiftieth year of Judah's King Azariah. He ruled for two years in Samaria.

24 He did what was evil in the LORD's eyes. He didn't deviate from the sins that Jeroboam, Nebat's son, had caused Israel to commit.
