2 Kings 15:23-25

International Standard Version

Pekahiah’s Reign over Israel

²³ Menahem’s son Pekahiah became king over Israel for two years during the fiftieth year of the reign of^[a] King Azariah of Judah. ²⁴ He did what the Lord considered to be evil. Just as Nebat’s son Jeroboam had led Israel into sin, so also Pekahiah did not stop doing the same thing. ²⁵ Then Remaliah’s son Pekah, Pekahiah’s^[b] officer, conspired against him with Argob and Arieh. Accompanied by 50 Gileadite men, Pekah attacked Pekahiah inside the palace of the king’s compound^[c] in Samaria, executed him, and reigned as king in his place.
