24 et fecit quod erat malum coram Domino non recessit a peccatis Hieroboam filii Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel

25 coniuravit autem adversum eum Phacee filius Romeliae dux eius et percussit eum in Samaria in turre domus regiae iuxta Argob et iuxta Ari et cum eo quinquaginta viros de filiis Galaaditarum et interfecit eum regnavitque pro eo

26 reliqua autem sermonum Phaceia et universa quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israhel
