2 Kings 15:28 In-Context

26 Soothly the residue of the words of Pekahiah, and all things that he did, whether these be not written in the book of [the] words of [the] days of the kings of Israel?
27 In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah, king of Judah, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, reigned [upon Israel] in Samaria twenty years. (In the fifty-second year of Azariah, or Uzziah, the king of Judah, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, began to reign upon Israel in Samaria, and he reigned for twenty years.)
28 And he did that, that was evil before the Lord; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, that made Israel to do sin.
29 In the days of Pekah, king of Israel, Tiglathpileser, king of Assur, came, and took Ijon, and Abel, the house of Maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali; and translated them into (the) Assyrians. (In the days of Pekah, the king of Israel, Tiglathpileser, the king of Assyria, came, and captured Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali; and carried away all the people to Assyria.)
30 Forsooth Hoshea, the son of Elah, conspired, and set treasons against Pekah, the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and killed him; and he reigned for him, in the twentieth year of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, (that is, the son of Azariah).
