2 Kings 15
King James Version
15 In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;
4 Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
5 And the Lord smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.
6 And 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 slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
8 In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
11 And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12 This was the word of the Lord which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.
13 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria.
14 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
16 Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.
17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.
18 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
19 And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
20 And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.
21 And 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 And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years.
24 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.
25 But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room.
26 And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
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.

Reinado de Azarías en Judá
15 En el año veintisiete de Jeroboam, rey de Israel, comenzó a reinar Azarías[a], hijo de Amasías, rey de Judá(A). 2 Tenía dieciséis años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó cincuenta y dos años en Jerusalén. El nombre de su madre era Jecolía, de Jerusalén(B). 3 Hizo lo recto ante los ojos del Señor, conforme a todo lo que su padre Amasías había hecho. 4 Solo que los lugares altos no fueron quitados. El pueblo todavía sacrificaba y quemaba incienso en los lugares altos(C). 5 Y el Señor hirió al rey, y quedó leproso hasta el día de su muerte. Y habitó en una casa separada(D), mientras Jotam, hijo del rey, estaba al frente de la casa, gobernando[b] al pueblo de la tierra(E). 6 Los demás hechos de Azarías y todo lo que hizo, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Judá? 7 Y durmió Azarías con sus padres, y lo sepultaron con ellos en la ciudad de David, y su hijo Jotam reinó en su lugar.
Varios reyes de Israel
8 En el año treinta y ocho de Azarías, rey de Judá(F), Zacarías, hijo de Jeroboam, reinó seis meses sobre Israel en Samaria. 9 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, como habían hecho sus padres; no se apartó de los pecados con que Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, hizo pecar a Israel. 10 Entonces Salum, hijo de Jabes, conspiró contra él(G) y lo hirió delante del pueblo y lo mató, y reinó en su lugar. 11 Los demás hechos de Zacarías, están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Israel. 12 Esta es la palabra que el Señor habló a Jehú(H): «Tus hijos hasta la cuarta generación se sentarán en el trono de Israel». Y así fue.
13 Salum, hijo de Jabes, comenzó a reinar en el año treinta y nueve de Uzías[c], rey de Judá(I), y reinó un mes en Samaria(J). 14 Entonces Manahem, hijo de Gadi, subió de Tirsa(K) y vino a Samaria, e hirió a Salum, hijo de Jabes, en Samaria, y lo mató y reinó en su lugar. 15 Los demás hechos de Salum y la[d] conspiración que tramó, están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Israel. 16 Entonces Manahem hirió a Tifsa y a todos los que estaban en ella y en sus alrededores[e] desde Tirsa, porque no le abrieron las puertas, por eso la hirió; y abrió el vientre a todas las mujeres que estaban encinta(L).
17 En el año treinta y nueve de Azarías, rey de Judá(M), Manahem, hijo de Gadi, comenzó a reinar sobre Israel; y reinó diez años en Samaria. 18 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor; en todos sus días no se apartó de los pecados con que Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, hizo pecar a Israel.
19 Pul[f], rey de Asiria, vino contra el país(N), y Manahem dio a Pul 34 toneladas de plata para que su mano estuviera con él para fortalecer el reino bajo su mando(O). 20 Entonces Manahem exigió este dinero a Israel, a todos los ricos poderosos, de cada uno cincuenta siclos (570 gramos) de plata para pagar al rey de Asiria. Y el rey de Asiria se volvió y no se detuvo allí en el país. 21 Los demás hechos de Manahem y todo lo que hizo, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Israel? 22 Y durmió Manahem con sus padres, y su hijo Pekaía reinó en su lugar.
23 En el año cincuenta de Azarías, rey de Judá, Pekaía, hijo de Manahem, comenzó a reinar sobre Israel en Samaria(P), y reinó dos años. 24 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor; no se apartó de los pecados con que Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, hizo pecar a Israel. 25 Entonces su oficial, Peka, hijo de Remalías, conspiró contra él y lo hirió en Samaria, en la ciudadela de la casa del rey(Q), y también a Argob y a Arie; y con él estaban cincuenta hombres de los hijos de los galaaditas. Lo mató y reinó en su lugar. 26 Los demás hechos de Pekaía y todo lo que hizo, están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
27 En el año cincuenta y dos de Azarías, rey de Judá(R), Peka, hijo de Remalías(S), comenzó a reinar sobre Israel en Samaria, y reinó veinte años. 28 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor; no se apartó de los pecados con que Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, hizo pecar a Israel.
29 En los días de Peka, rey de Israel, vino Tiglat Pileser, rey de Asiria(T), y tomó Ijón, Abel Bet Maaca, Janoa, Cedes, Hazor, Galaad y Galilea, toda la tierra de Neftalí; y se los llevó cautivos a Asiria(U). 30 Oseas, hijo de Ela, tramó una conspiración contra Peka, hijo de Remalías, y lo hirió y le dio muerte; y reinó en su lugar, en el año veinte de Jotam, hijo de Uzías. 31 Los demás hechos de Peka y todo lo que hizo, están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
Reinado de Jotam
32 (V)En el segundo año de Peka, hijo de Remalías, rey de Israel, comenzó a reinar Jotam, hijo de Uzías, rey de Judá. 33 Tenía veinticinco años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó dieciséis años en Jerusalén; y el nombre de su madre era Jerusa, hija de Sadoc(W). 34 Hizo lo recto ante los ojos del Señor; hizo conforme a todo lo que su padre Uzías había hecho(X). 35 Solo que los lugares altos no fueron quitados. El pueblo todavía sacrificaba y quemaba incienso en los lugares altos(Y). Él edificó la puerta superior de la casa del Señor(Z).
36 Los demás hechos de Jotam y todo lo que hizo, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las Crónicas de los reyes de Judá? 37 En aquellos días el Señor comenzó a enviar a Rezín, rey de Aram, y a Peka, hijo de Remalías, contra Judá(AA). 38 Jotam durmió con sus padres, y fue sepultado con ellos en la ciudad de su padre David; y su hijo Acaz reinó en su lugar.
2 Kings 15
New King James Version
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.
