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.

Asaria(oder Ussija), König von Juda
15 Im siebenundzwanzigsten Jahre Jerobeams, des Königs von Israel, ward Asaria[a] König, der Sohn Amazias, des Königs in Juda. 2 Mit sechzehn Jahren ward er König und regierte zweiundfünfzig Jahre lang zu Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Jecholia von Jerusalem.
3 Und er tat, was dem Herrn wohlgefiel, ganz wie sein Vater Amazia getan hatte; 4 nur daß die Höhen nicht wegkamen; denn das Volk opferte und räucherte noch auf den Höhen. 5 Der Herr aber plagte den König, so daß er aussätzig ward bis an den Tag seines Todes, und er wohnte in einem abgesonderten Hause. Jotam aber, der Sohn des Königs, regierte den Palast und richtete das Volk des Landes.
6 Was aber mehr von Asaria zu sagen ist, und alles, was er getan hat, ist das nicht geschrieben in der Chronik der Könige von Juda?
7 Und Asaria legte sich zu seinen Vätern, und man begrub ihn bei seinen Vätern in der Stadt Davids, und Jotam, sein Sohn, ward König an seiner Statt.
Sacharia, König von Israel
8 Im achtunddreißigsten Jahre Asarias, des Königs von Juda, ward Sacharia, der Sohn Jerobeams, König über Israel zu Samaria, [und regierte] sechs Monate lang. 9 Der tat, was dem Herrn übel gefiel, wie seine Väter getan hatten; er ließ nicht ab von den Sünden, zu denen Jerobeam, der Sohn Nebats, Israel verführt hatte. 10 Und Sallum, der Sohn des Jabes, machte eine Verschwörung wider ihn und schlug ihn vor dem Volk und tötete ihn und ward König an seiner Statt.
11 Was aber mehr von Sacharia zu sagen ist, siehe, das ist geschrieben in der Chronik der Könige von Israel.
12 So erfüllte sich das Wort, das der Herr zu Jehu gesagt hatte, als er sprach: Es sollen Nachkommen von dir bis in das vierte Glied auf dem Throne Israels sitzen! Es geschah also.
Sallum, Menachem, Pekachja und Pekach, Könige von Israel
13 Sallum aber, der Sohn des Jabes, ward König im neununddreißigsten Jahre Ussijas, des Königs von Juda, und regierte einen Monat lang zu Samaria. 14 Da zog Menachem, der Sohn Gadis, von Tirza herauf und kam nach Samaria und schlug Sallum, den Sohn des Jabes, zu Samaria und tötete ihn; und er ward König an seiner Statt.
15 Was aber mehr von Sallum zu sagen ist und von seiner Verschwörung, die er gemacht hat, siehe, das ist geschrieben in der Chronik der Könige von Israel.
16 Dazumal schlug Menachem [die Stadt] Tiphsach[b] und alle, die darin waren, und ihr Gebiet von Tirza an; weil sie ihn nicht einlassen wollten, darum schlug er sie und ließ alle aufschneiden, die guter Hoffnung waren.
17 Im neununddreißigsten Jahre Asarias, des Königs von Juda, ward Menachem, der Sohn Gadis, König über Israel zu Samaria, [und regierte] zehn Jahre lang.
18 Und er tat, was böse war in den Augen des Herrn; er ließ sein Leben lang nicht von den Sünden, zu denen Jerobeam, der Sohn Nebats, Israel verführt hatte. -
19 Und Phul, der König von Assyrien, kam in das Land. Und Menachem gab Phul tausend Talente Silber, damit er zu ihm halte und ihm das Königreich bestätige. 20 Und Menachem erhob das Geld von Israel, von allen begüterten Leuten, fünfzig Schekel Silber von jedem Mann, um es dem König von Assyrien zu geben. Also zog der König von Assyrien wieder heim und blieb nicht dort im Lande.
21 Was aber mehr von Menachem zu sagen ist, und alles, was er getan hat, ist das nicht geschrieben in der Chronik der Könige von Israel?
22 Und Menachem legte sich zu seinen Vätern. Und Pekachja, sein Sohn, ward König an seiner Statt.
23 Im fünfzigsten Jahre Asarias, des Königs von Juda, ward Pekachja, der Sohn Menachems, König über Israel zu Samaria, [und regierte] zwei Jahre lang.
24 Und er tat, was dem Herrn übel gefiel; er ließ nicht ab von den Sünden, zu denen Jerobeam, der Sohn Nebats, Israel verführt hatte. 25 Pekach aber, der Sohn Remaljas, sein Hauptmann, machte eine Verschwörung wider ihn und erschlug ihn zu Samaria, in der Burg des königlichen Hauses, ebenso Argob und Arje. Mit ihm aber waren fünfzig Mann von den Söhnen der Gileaditer. Und er tötete ihn und ward König an seiner Statt.
26 Was aber mehr von Pekachja zu sagen ist, und alles, was er getan hat, siehe, das ist aufgezeichnet in der Chronik der Könige von Israel.
27 Im zweiundfünfzigsten Jahre Asarias, des Königs von Juda, ward Pekach, der Sohn Remaljas, König über Israel zu Samaria, [und regierte] zwanzig Jahre lang.
28 Und er tat, was dem Herrn übel gefiel. Er ließ nicht ab von den Sünden, zu denen Jerobeam, der Sohn Nebats, Israel verführt hatte. 29 Zu den Zeiten Pekachs, des Königs von Israel, kam Tiglat-Pileser, der König von Assyrien, und nahm Ijon, Abel-Beth-Maacha, Janoach, Kedesch, Hazor, Gilead, Galiläa und das ganze Land Naphtali ein und führte die Bewohner gefangen nach Assyrien. 30 Und Hosea, der Sohn Elas, machte eine Verschwörung wider Pekach, den Sohn Remaljas, schlug ihn tot und ward König an seiner Statt im zwanzigsten Jahre Jotams, des Sohnes Ussijas.
31 Was aber mehr von Pekach zu sagen ist, und alles, was er getan hat, siehe, das ist geschrieben in der Chronik der Könige von Israel.
Jotam, König von Juda
32 Im zweiten Jahre Pekachs, des Sohnes Remaljas, des Königs von Israel, ward Jotam König, der Sohn Ussijas, des Königs von Juda. 33 Fünfundzwanzig Jahre alt war er, als er König ward, und regierte sechzehn Jahre lang zu Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Jerusa, eine Tochter Zadoks.
34 Und er tat, was recht war in den Augen des Herrn; ganz wie sein Vater Ussija getan hatte, so tat auch er. 35 Nur daß die Höhen nicht wegkamen; denn das Volk opferte und räucherte noch auf den Höhen. Er baute das obere Tor am Hause des Herrn.
36 Was aber mehr von Jotam zu sagen ist, und alles, was er getan hat, ist das nicht geschrieben in der Chronik der Könige von Juda?
37 Zu derselben Zeit fing der Herr an, Rezin, den König von Syrien, und Pekach, den Sohn Remaljas, wider Juda zu senden.
38 Und Jotam legte sich zu seinen Vätern und ward begraben bei seinen Vätern in der Stadt seines Vaters David. Und Ahas, sein Sohn, ward König an seiner Statt.

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.

His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. 4 (D)Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and made offerings on the high places. 5 (E)And the Lord touched the king, so that he was a leper[a] to the day of his death, (F)and he lived in a separate house.[b] And Jotham the king's son was over the household, governing 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 And Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers (G)in the city of David, and Jotham his son reigned in his place.

Therefore he sacked it, (N)and he ripped open all the women in it who were pregnant.
Menahem Reigns in Israel
17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel, and he reigned ten years in Samaria. 18 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.

So the king of Assyria turned back and did not stay there in the land. 21 Now the rest of the deeds 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 place.

Pekah Reigns in Israel
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned twenty years. 28 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, (S)which he made Israel to sin.

The people still sacrificed and made offerings on the high places. He built (AD)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 (AE)Rezin the king of Syria and (AF)Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. 38 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 place.
