2 Kings 15:27

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.

25 But Pekach Ben Remalyah, his officer, plotted a kesher against him, and assassinated him in Shomron, in the armon Bais Melech (citadel of the palace of the king), with Argov and Aryeh, and with him chamishim ish (fifty men) of the Bnei Gil’adim; and he killed him, and reigned as melech in his place.

26 And the rest of the acts of Pekachyah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yisroel.

27 In the two and fiftieth year of Azaryah Melech Yehudah, Pekach Ben Remalyah began to reign as melech over Yisroel in Shomron, and reigned twenty shanah.

28 And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem; he departed not from the chattot Yarov‘am Ben Nevat, who caused Yisroel to commit sin.

29 In the days of Pekach Melech Yisroel came Tiglat Pileser Melech Ashur (Assyria), and took Iyon, and Abel Beit-Ma’achah, and Yanoach, and Kedesh, and Chatzor, and Gil‘ad, and the Galil, all the Eretz Naphtali, and carried them away into the Golus of Assyria.
