In the fifty second year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria Which was the last year of the reign of Azariah:
and reigned twenty years; which was a long reign for an usurper and murderer.

Pekah son of Remaliah was one of Pekahiah's captains, and he made plans against Pekahiah. He took fifty men of Gilead with him and killed Pekahiah, as well as Argob and Arieh, in the palace at Samaria. Then Pekah became king in Pekahiah's place.

Everything else Pekahiah did is written in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.
