比加做以色列王

27 犹大王亚撒利雅执政第五十二年,利玛利的儿子比加在撒玛利亚登基做以色列王,执政二十年。 28 他做耶和华视为恶的事,没有离开尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人犯的那些罪。

29 以色列王比加执政期间,亚述王提革拉·毗列色来犯,夺取了以云、亚伯·伯·玛迦、亚挪、基低斯和夏琐,占领了基列、加利利及拿弗他利全境,把那里的居民掳往亚述。 30 乌西雅的儿子约坦执政第二十年,以拉的儿子何细亚谋反,杀了利玛利的儿子比加,篡位做了以色列王。 31 比加其他的事及其一切所作所为都记在以色列的列王史上。

约坦做犹大王

32 利玛利的儿子以色列王比加执政第二年,犹大王乌西雅的儿子约坦登基。 33 他二十五岁登基,在耶路撒冷执政十六年。他母亲叫耶路莎,是撒督的女儿。 34 约坦效法他父亲乌西雅,做耶和华视为正的事, 35 但没有拆毁丘坛,人们仍在那里献祭烧香。他执政期间,曾建造耶和华殿的上门。 36 约坦其他的事及作为都记在犹大的列王史上。 37 那时,耶和华差遣亚兰王利汛和利玛利的儿子比加攻打犹大。 38 约坦与祖先同眠后,葬在大卫城他的祖坟里。他儿子亚哈斯继位。

27 In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.

28 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.

30 And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.

31 And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.

33 Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

34 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

35 Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the Lord.

36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

37 In those days the Lord began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.

38 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
