2 Reyes 15
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Azarías, rey de Judá(A)
15 En el año veintisiete del reinado de Jeroboán, rey de Israel, Azarías hijo de Amasías, rey de Judá, ascendió al trono. 2 Tenía dieciséis años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó en Jerusalén cincuenta y dos años. Su madre era Jecolías, oriunda de Jerusalén. 3 Azarías hizo lo que agrada al Señor, pues en todo siguió el buen ejemplo de su padre Amasías; 4 pero no se quitaron los altares paganos, sino que el pueblo siguió ofreciendo sacrificios y quemando incienso en ellos.
5 Sin embargo, el Señor castigó al rey con lepra hasta el día de su muerte. Y, como el rey Azarías tuvo que vivir aislado en casa,[a] su hijo Jotán quedó a cargo del palacio y del gobierno del país.
6 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Azarías, y todo lo que hizo, están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel. 7 Azarías murió y fue sepultado con sus antepasados en la Ciudad de David. Y su hijo Jotán le sucedió en el trono.
Zacarías, rey de Israel
8 En el año treinta y ocho del reinado de Azarías, rey de Judá, Zacarías hijo de Jeroboán ascendió al trono de Israel, y reinó en Samaria seis meses. 9 Zacarías hizo lo que ofende al Señor, como lo hicieron sus antepasados, pues no se apartó de los pecados con que Jeroboán hijo de Nabat hizo pecar a Israel.
10 Salún hijo de Jabés conspiró contra Zacarías. Lo atacó en Ibleam[b] y lo mató, usurpando así el trono. 11 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Zacarías están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel. 12 De este modo se cumplió la palabra que el Señor le había dado a conocer a Jehú: «Durante cuatro generaciones tus descendientes ocuparán el trono de Israel».[c]
Salún, rey de Israel
13 Salún hijo de Jabés ascendió al trono en el año treinta y nueve de Uzías, rey de Judá, y reinó en Samaria un mes. 14 Pero Menajem hijo de Gadí llegó de Tirsá a Samaria, y allí atacó a Salún hijo de Jabés y lo mató, usurpando así el trono.
15 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Salún, incluso su conspiración, están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
16 Por aquel tiempo, Menajem atacó la ciudad de Tifsa. Como no le abrieron las puertas de la ciudad, mató a todos los que vivían allí y en los alrededores, comenzando por Tirsá, y les abrió el vientre a las mujeres embarazadas.
Menajem, rey de Israel
17 En el año treinta y nueve del reinado de Azarías, rey de Judá, Menajem hijo de Gadí ascendió al trono de Israel, y reinó en Samaria diez años. 18 Pero hizo lo que ofende al Señor, pues durante toda su vida jamás se apartó de los pecados con que Jeroboán hijo de Nabat hizo pecar a Israel.
19 Tiglat Piléser,[d] rey de Asiria, invadió el país, y Menajem le entregó treinta y tres mil kilos[e] de plata para ganarse su apoyo y mantenerse en el trono. 20 Menajem les exigió este dinero a los israelitas: todos los ricos tenían que pagarle al rey de Asiria medio kilo[f] de plata. Entonces el rey de Asiria se retiró y dejó de ocupar el país.
21 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Menajem, y todo lo que hizo, están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel. 22 Menajem murió, y su hijo Pecajías le sucedió en el trono.
Pecajías, rey de Israel
23 En el año cincuenta de Azarías, rey de Judá, Pecajías hijo de Menajem ascendió al trono de Israel, y reinó en Samaria dos años. 24 Pero hizo lo que ofende al Señor, pues no se apartó de los pecados con que Jeroboán hijo de Nabat hizo pecar a Israel. 25 Uno de sus oficiales, que se llamaba Pécaj hijo de Remalías, conspiró contra él. Apoyado por cincuenta galaaditas, atacó a Pecajías, a Argob y a Arié, en la torre del palacio real en Samaria. Así fue como lo mató y usurpó el trono.
26 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Pecajías, y todo lo que hizo, están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
Pécaj, rey de Israel
27 En el año cincuenta y dos del reinado de Azarías, rey de Judá, Pécaj hijo de Remalías ascendió al trono de Israel, y reinó en Samaria veinte años. 28 Pero hizo lo que ofende al Señor, pues no se apartó de los pecados con que Jeroboán hijo de Nabat hizo pecar a Israel.
29 En tiempos de Pécaj, rey de Israel, Tiglat Piléser, rey de Asiria, invadió el país y conquistó Iyón, Abel Betmacá, Janoa, Cedes, Jazor, Galaad y Galilea, incluyendo todo el territorio de Neftalí; además, deportó a los habitantes a Asiria. 30 Entonces Oseas hijo de Elá conspiró contra Pécaj hijo de Remalías y lo atacó. Así fue como, en el año veinte de Jotán hijo de Uzías, lo mató y usurpó el trono.
31 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Pécaj, y todo lo que hizo, están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
Jotán, rey de Judá(B)
32 En el segundo año del reinado de Pécaj hijo de Remalías, rey de Israel, Jotán hijo de Uzías, rey de Judá, ascendió al trono. 33 Tenía veinticinco años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó en Jerusalén dieciséis años. Su madre era Jerusa hija de Sadoc. 34 Jotán hizo lo que agrada al Señor, pues en todo siguió el buen ejemplo de su padre Uzías. 35 Fue Jotán quien reconstruyó la puerta superior del templo del Señor, pero no se quitaron los altares paganos, sino que el pueblo siguió ofreciendo sacrificios y quemando incienso en ellos.
36 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Jotán están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá. 37 Durante su reinado, el Señor comenzó a enviar contra Judá a Rezín, rey de Siria, y a Pécaj hijo de Remalías. 38 Jotán murió y fue sepultado con sus antepasados en la Ciudad de David, su antecesor. Y su hijo Acaz le sucedió en el trono.

Azariah King of Judah(A)
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah[a](B) son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign. 2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 3 He did what was right(C) in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. 4 The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
5 The Lord afflicted(D) the king with leprosy[b] until the day he died, and he lived in a separate house.[c](E) Jotham(F) the king’s son had charge of the palace(G) and governed the people of the land.
6 As for the other events of Azariah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 7 Azariah rested(H) with his ancestors and was buried near them in the City of David. And Jotham(I) his son succeeded him as king.
Zechariah King of Israel
8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned six months. 9 He did evil(J) in the eyes of the Lord, as his predecessors had done. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.
10 Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah. He attacked him in front of the people,[d] assassinated(K) him and succeeded him as king. 11 The other events of Zechariah’s reign are written in the book of the annals(L) of the kings of Israel. 12 So the word of the Lord spoken to Jehu was fulfilled:(M) “Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”[e]
Shallum King of Israel
13 Shallum son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned in Samaria(N) one month. 14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went from Tirzah(O) up to Samaria. He attacked Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, assassinated(P) him and succeeded him as king.
15 The other events of Shallum’s reign, and the conspiracy he led, are written in the book of the annals(Q) of the kings of Israel.
16 At that time Menahem, starting out from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah(R) and everyone in the city and its vicinity, because they refused to open(S) their gates. He sacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.
Menahem King of Israel
17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem son of Gadi became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria ten years. 18 He did evil(T) in the eyes of the Lord. During his entire reign he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.
19 Then Pul[f](U) king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem gave him a thousand talents[g] of silver to gain his support and strengthen his own hold on the kingdom. 20 Menahem exacted this money from Israel. Every wealthy person had to contribute fifty shekels[h] of silver to be given to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew(V) and stayed in the land no longer.
21 As for the other events of Menahem’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 22 Menahem rested with his ancestors. And Pekahiah his son succeeded him as king.
Pekahiah King of Israel
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah son of Menahem became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned two years. 24 Pekahiah did evil(W) in the eyes of the Lord. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit. 25 One of his chief officers, Pekah(X) son of Remaliah, conspired against him. Taking fifty men of Gilead with him, he assassinated(Y) Pekahiah, along with Argob and Arieh, in the citadel of the royal palace at Samaria. So Pekah killed Pekahiah and succeeded him as king.
26 The other events of Pekahiah’s reign, and all he did, are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel.
Pekah King of Israel
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah(Z) son of Remaliah(AA) became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned twenty years. 28 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.
29 In the time of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser(AB) king of Assyria came and took Ijon,(AC) Abel Beth Maakah, Janoah, Kedesh and Hazor. He took Gilead and Galilee, including all the land of Naphtali,(AD) and deported(AE) the people to Assyria. 30 Then Hoshea(AF) son of Elah conspired against Pekah son of Remaliah. He attacked and assassinated(AG) him, and then succeeded him as king in the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah.
31 As for the other events of Pekah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals(AH) of the kings of Israel?
Jotham King of Judah(AI)
32 In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham(AJ) son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign. 33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 34 He did what was right(AK) in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done. 35 The high places,(AL) however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate(AM) of the temple of the Lord.
36 As for the other events of Jotham’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 37 (In those days the Lord began to send Rezin(AN) king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah.) 38 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David, the city of his father. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.

Azariah Reigns in Judah(A)
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, (B)Azariah the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, (C)became king. 2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 3 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done, 4 (D)except that the [a]high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 5 Then the Lord (E)struck the king, so that he was a leper until the day of his (F)death; so he (G)dwelt in an isolated house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the royal house, judging the people of the land.
6 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 7 So Azariah [b]rested with his fathers, and (H)they buried him with his fathers in the City of David. Then Jotham his son reigned in his place.
Zechariah Reigns in Israel
8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, (I)Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months. 9 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, (J)as his fathers had done; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. 10 Then Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and (K)struck and killed him in front of the people; and he reigned in his place.
11 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12 This was the word of the Lord which He spoke to Jehu, saying, (L)“Your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.” And so it was.
Shallum Reigns in Israel
13 Shallum the son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth year of [c]Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria. 14 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from (M)Tirzah, came to Samaria, and struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria and killed him; and he reigned in his place.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and the conspiracy which he [d]led, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 16 Then from Tirzah, Menahem attacked (N)Tiphsah, all who were there, and its territory. Because they did not surrender, therefore he attacked it. All (O)the women there who were with child he ripped open.
Menahem Reigns in Israel
17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi became king over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria. 18 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. 19 (P)Pul[e] king of Assyria came against the land; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his [f]hand might be with him to (Q)strengthen the kingdom under his control. 20 And Menahem (R)exacted[g] the money from Israel, from all the very wealthy, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and did not stay there in the land.
21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 22 So Menahem [h]rested with his fathers. Then Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.
Pekahiah Reigns in Israel
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years. 24 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. 25 Then Pekah the son of Remaliah, an officer of his, conspired against him and [i]killed him in Samaria, in the (S)citadel of the king’s house, along with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of Gilead. He killed him and reigned in his place.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Pekah Reigns in Israel
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, (T)Pekah the son of Remaliah became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years. 28 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. 29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, [j]Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria (U)came and took (V)Ijon, Abel Beth Maachah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he (W)carried them captive to Assyria. 30 Then Hoshea the son of Elah led a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and struck and killed him; so he (X)reigned in his place in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, indeed they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Jotham Reigns in Judah(Y)
32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, (Z)Jotham the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, began to reign. 33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was [k]Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. 34 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he did (AA)according to all that his father Uzziah had done. 35 (AB)However the [l]high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. (AC)He built the Upper 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 (AD)Rezin king of Syria and (AE)Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. 38 So Jotham [m]rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
