27
In the two and fiftieth year of `Azaryah king of Yehudah Pekach the son of Remalyahu began to reign over Yisra'el in Shomron, [and reigned] twenty years.
28
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he didn't depart from the sins of Yarov`am the son of Nevat, with which he made Yisra'el to sin.
29
In the days of Pekach king of Yisra'el came Tiglat-Pil'eser king of Ashshur, and took `Iyon, and Avel-Beit-Ma`akhah, and Yano`ach, and Kedesh, and Hatzor, and Gil`ad, and the Galil, all the land of Naftali; and he carried them captive to Ashshur.
30
Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekach the son of Remalyahu, and struck him, and killed him, and reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Yotam the son of `Uzziyah.
31
Now the rest of the acts of Pekach, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yisra'el.
32
In the second year of Pekach the son of Remalyahu king of Yisra'el began Yotam the son of `Uzziyah king of Yehudah to reign.
33
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Yerushalayim: and his mother's name was Yerusha the daughter of Tzadok.
34
He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD; he did according to all that his father `Uzziyah had done.
35
However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD.
36
Now the rest of the acts of Yotam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehudah?
37
In those days the LORD began to send against Yehudah Retzin the king of Aram, and Pekach the son of Remalyahu.
