Asarja (Ussia) blir kung i Juda

15 (A) I Jerobeams, Israels kungs, tjugosjunde regeringsår blev Asarja, Amasjas son, kung i Juda.

2 (B) Han var sexton år när han blev kung, och han regerade femtiotvå år[a] i Jerusalem. Hans mor hette Jekolja och var från Jerusalem. 3 (C) Han gjorde det som var rätt i Herrens ögon, precis som hans far Amasja hade gjort. 4 (D) Men offerhöjderna avskaffades inte, utan folket fortsatte att offra och tända offereld på höjderna.

5 (E) Herren slog kungen så att han blev spetälsk[b] för hela livet. Han bodde sedan i ett särskilt hus. Jotam, kungens son, ledde då hans hus och dömde folket i landet.

6 Vad som mer finns att säga om Asarja och om allt som han gjorde, det är skrivet i Juda kungars krönika. 7 Asarja gick till vila hos sina fäder, och man begravde honom hos hans fäder i Davids stad. Hans son Jotam blev kung efter honom.

Sakarja blir kung i Israel

8 (F) I Juda kung Asarjas trettioåttonde regeringsår blev Sakarja, Jerobeams son, kung över Israel i Samaria och regerade i sex månader.[c] 9 (G) Han gjorde det som var ont i Herrens ögon, så som hans fäder hade gjort. Han vände sig inte bort från de synder genom vilka Jerobeam, Nebats son, hade fått Israel att synda. 10 Shallum, Jabeshs son, anstiftade en sammansvärjning mot honom och dödade honom inför folket och blev kung i hans ställe.

11 Vad som mer finns att säga om Sakarja, det är skrivet i Israels kungars krönika. 12 (H) Så gick det ord i uppfyllelse som Herren hade talat till Jehu: ”Dina söner ska sitta på Israels tron till fjärde led.” Och det blev så.

Shallum blir kung i Israel

13 (I) Shallum, Jabeshs son, blev kung i Juda kung Ussias trettionionde regeringsår, och han regerade en månad[d] i Samaria.

14 Då drog Menahem, Gadis son, upp från Tirsa och kom till Samaria och dödade Shallum, Jabeshs son, i Samaria och blev kung i hans ställe.

15 Vad som mer finns att säga om Shallums gärningar och om den sammansvärjning han anstiftade, det är skrivet i Israels kungars krönika. 16 (J) Vid den tiden förstörde Menahem Tifsa[e] och allt som fanns där inne och hela dess område från Tirsa, eftersom staden inte hade öppnat portarna. Därför förstörde han den och han lät skära upp alla havande kvinnor.

Menahem blir kung i Israel

17 I Juda kung Asarjas trettionionde regeringsår blev Menahem, Gadis son, kung över Israel och regerade i tio år[f] i Samaria. 18 (K) Han gjorde det som var ont i Herrens ögon. Så länge han levde vände han sig inte bort från de synder som Jerobeam, Nebats son, hade förlett Israel med.

19 Kung Pul[g] av Assyrien trängde in i landet. Då gav Menahem 1 000 talenter silver till Pul för att han skulle understödja honom och befästa kungadömet i hans hand. 20 (L) De pengar som Menahem skulle ge kungen av Assyrien tog han ut genom att lägga skatt på alla rika män i Israel, en skatt på 50 siklar silver[h] för var och en. Så vände kungen av Assyrien tillbaka och stannade inte där i landet.

21 Vad som mer finns att säga om Menahem och om allt som han gjorde, det är skrivet i Israels kungars krönika. 22 Menahem gick till vila hos sina fäder. Hans son Pekaja blev kung efter honom.

Pekaja blir kung i Israel

23 I Juda kung Asarjas femtionde regeringsår blev Pekaja, Menahems son, kung över Israel i Samaria och regerade i två år.[i] 24 (M) Han gjorde det som var ont i Herrens ögon. Han vände sig inte bort från de synder som Jerobeam, Nebats son, hade förlett Israel med.

25 Peka, Remaljas son, en av hans officerare, anstiftade en sammansvärjning mot honom och dödade honom i kungapalatsets borg i Samaria, han tillsammans med Argob och Arje. Därvid hade han med sig femtio gileaditer. Så dödade han Pekaja och blev kung i hans ställe.

26 Vad som mer finns att säga om Pekaja och om allt han gjorde, det är skrivet i Israels kungars krönika.

Peka blir kung i Israel

27 I Juda kung Asarjas femtioandra regeringsår blev Peka, Remaljas son, kung över Israel i Samaria. Han regerade i tjugo år[j]. 28 (N) Han gjorde det som var ont i Herrens ögon. Han vände sig inte bort från de synder som Jerobeam, Nebats son, hade förlett Israel med.

29 (O) När Peka var kung i Israel kom den assyriske kungen Tiglat-Pileser och intog[k] Ijon, Abel-Bet-Maaka, Janoa, Kedesh, Hasor, Gilead och Galileen, hela Naftali land, och förde bort folket till Assyrien.

30 (P) Hosea, Elas son, anstiftade en sammansvärjning mot Peka, Remaljas son, och dödade honom och blev så kung i hans ställe i Jotams, Ussias sons, tjugonde regeringsår.

31 (Q) Vad som mer finns att säga om Peka och om allt han gjorde, det är skrivet i Israels kungars krönika.

Jotam blir kung i Juda

32 (R) I Israels kung Pekas, Remaljas sons, andra regeringsår blev Jotam, Ussias son, kung i Juda. 33 Han var tjugofem år när han blev kung, och han regerade sexton år[l] i Jerusalem. Hans mor hette Jerusha och var dotter till Sadok. 34 (S) Han gjorde det som var rätt i Herrens ögon, precis som hans far Ussia hade gjort. 35 Men offerhöjderna avskaffades inte, utan folket fortsatte att offra och tända offereld på höjderna. Han byggde Övre porten till Herrens hus.

36 Vad som mer finns att säga om Jotam och allt han gjorde, det är skrivet i Juda kungars krönika.

37 (T) Vid den tiden började Herren sända Arams kung Resin och Peka, Remaljas son, mot Juda.

38 Jotam gick till vila hos sina fäder och blev begravd hos sina fäder i sin fader Davids stad. Hans son Ahas blev kung efter honom.

Common English Bible

Azariah rules Judah

15 Azariah, Amaziah’s son, became king of Judah in the twenty-seventh year of Israel’s King Jeroboam. 2 He was 16 years old when he became king, and he ruled for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 3 He did what was right in the Lord’s eyes, just as his father Amaziah had done. 4 However, the shrines weren’t removed. People kept sacrificing and burning incense at them. 5 Now the Lord afflicted the king with a skin disease that he had until his dying day, so he lived in a separate house.[a] The king’s son Jotham supervised the palace administration and governed the people of the land. 6 The rest of Azariah’s deeds and all he accomplished, aren’t they written in the official records of Judah’s kings? 7 Azariah died and was buried with his ancestors in David’s City. His son Jotham succeeded him as king.

Zechariah rules Israel

8 Zechariah, Jeroboam’s son, became king of Israel in Samaria in the thirty-eighth year of Judah’s King Azariah. He ruled for six months. 9 He did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes, just as his ancestors had done. He didn’t deviate from the sins that Jeroboam, Nebat’s son, had caused Israel to commit. 10 Shallum, Jabesh’s son, plotted against Zechariah. He struck him down in public,[b] murdering him. Shallum then succeeded him as king. 11 The rest of Zechariah’s deeds are written in the official records of Israel’s kings. 12 This was exactly what the Lord spoke to Jehu: Your descendants will sit on Israel’s throne for four generations. And that’s exactly what happened.

Shallum rules Israel

13 Shallum, Jabesh’s son, became king in the thirty-ninth year of Judah’s King Uzziah. He ruled for one month in Samaria. 14 Menahem, Gadi’s son, went up from Tirzah and came to Samaria. He struck down Jabesh’s son Shallum in Samaria, murdering him. Menahem then succeeded him as king. 15 The rest of Shallum’s deeds and the conspiracy he plotted are written in the official records of Israel’s kings.

Menahem rules Israel

16 Menahem then moved from Tirzah and attacked Tiphsah, all its citizens, and its neighboring areas. Because they wouldn’t surrender, he attacked and ripped open all its pregnant women. 17 Menahem, Gadi’s son, became king of Israel in the thirty-ninth year of Judah’s King Azariah. He ruled for ten years in Samaria. 18 He did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes. Throughout his life, he didn’t deviate from the sins that Jeroboam, Nebat’s son, had caused Israel to commit. 19 When Assyria’s King Tiglath-pileser[c] marched against the land, Menahem gave Tiglath-pileser one thousand silver kikkars in order to become his ally and to strengthen his hold on the kingdom. 20 Menahem taxed Israel for this money. All the wealthy people had to give fifty silver shekels each to Assyria’s king. So Assyria’s king went home and didn’t stay there in the land. 21 The rest of Menahem’s deeds and all that he accomplished, aren’t they written in the official records of Israel’s kings? 22 Menahem lay down with his ancestors. His son Pekahiah succeeded him as king.

Pekahiah rules Israel

23 Pekahiah, Menahem’s son, became king of Israel in the fiftieth year of Judah’s King Azariah. He ruled for two years in Samaria. 24 He did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes. He didn’t deviate from the sins that Jeroboam, Nebat’s son, had caused Israel to commit. 25 Pekah, Remaliah’s son and Pekahiah’s officer, plotted against him. Pekah struck Pekahiah in Samaria at the palace fortress, along with Argob and Arieh.[d] Pekah had fifty Gileadites with him. He murdered Pekahiah and succeeded him as king. 26 The rest of Pekahiah’s deeds and all that he accomplished are written in the official records of Israel’s kings.

Pekah rules Israel

27 Pekah, Remaliah’s son, became king of Israel in the fifty-second year of Judah’s King Azariah. Pekah ruled for twenty years in Samaria. 28 He did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes. He didn’t deviate from the sins that Jeroboam, Nebat’s son, had caused Israel to commit. 29 In the days of Israel’s King Pekah, Assyria’s King Tiglath-pileser came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, and Hazor. He also captured Gilead, Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali. He sent the people into exile to Assyria. 30 Then Hoshea, Elah’s son, plotted against Pekah, Remaliah’s son. He struck Pekah down, murdering him. Hoshea became king after Pekah in the twentieth year of Uzziah’s son Jotham. 31 The rest of Pekah’s kingship and all that he accomplished are written in the official records of Israel’s kings.

Jotham rules Judah

32 Jotham, Uzziah’s son, became king of Judah in the second year of Israel’s King Pekah, Remaliah’s son. 33 Jotham was 25 years old when he became king, and he ruled for sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha; she was Zadok’s daughter. 34 Jotham did what was right in the Lord’s eyes, just as his father Uzziah had done. 35 However, he didn’t remove the shrines. The people continued to sacrifice and burn incense at them. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord’s temple. 36 The rest of Jotham’s deeds, aren’t they written in the official records of Judah’s kings? 37 It was in those days that the Lord began to send Aram’s King Rezin and Pekah, Remaliah’s son, against Judah. 38 Jotham died and was buried with his ancestors in David’s City.[e] His son Ahaz succeeded him as king.

Series of Kings: Azariah (Uzziah) over Judah

15 (A)In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah became king. 2 He was (B)sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was [a]Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 3 He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, in accordance with everything that his father Amaziah had done. 4 Only (C)the high places were not eliminated; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 5 (D)And the Lord afflicted the king, so that he had leprosy to the day of his death. And he (E)lived in a separate house, [b]while Jotham the king’s son was in charge of the household, judging the people of the land. 6 Now as for 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 [c]lay down with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and his son Jotham became king in his place.

Zechariah over Israel

8 (F)In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in Samaria for six months. 9 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his fathers had done; he did not desist from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, into which he misled Israel. 10 Then Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and (G)struck him in the presence of the people and [d]killed him, and reigned in his place. 11 Now as for the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 12 This is (H)the word of the Lord which He spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” And so it was.

13 Shallum the son of Jabesh became king in the (I)thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned for [e]one month in (J)Samaria. 14 Then Menahem the son of Gadi went up from (K)Tirzah and came to Samaria, and struck Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, and killed him and became king in his place. 15 Now as for the rest of the acts of Shallum and his conspiracy which he formed, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 16 Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were in it and its borders from Tirzah, because they did not open up to him; so he attacked it and ripped up (L)all its women who were pregnant.

Menahem over Israel

17 In the (M)thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi became king over Israel and reigned for ten years in Samaria. 18 He did evil in the sight of the Lord; for all his days he did not desist from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, into which he misled Israel.

19 (N)Pul, the king of Assyria, came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul a [f]thousand talents of silver so that his hand might be with him to (O)strengthen the [g]kingdom [h]under his rule. 20 Then Menahem collected the money from Israel, from all the [i]mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver to pay the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria returned and did not stay there in the land. 21 Now as for 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 [j]lay down with his fathers, and his son Pekahiah became king in his place.

Pekahiah over Israel

23 In (P)the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned for two years. 24 He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not desist from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, into which he misled Israel. 25 Then Pekah the son of Remaliah, his officer, conspired against him and struck him in Samaria, in (Q)the castle of the king’s house with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites, and he killed him and became king in his place. 26 Now as for the rest of the acts of Pekahiah and everything that he did, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

Pekah over Israel

27 In (R)the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, (S)Pekah the son of Remaliah became king over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned for twenty years. 28 He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not desist from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, into which he misled Israel.

29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, [k](T)Tiglath-pileser the king of Assyria came and took Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and (U)he led [l]their populations into exile to Assyria. 30 And Hoshea the son of Elah formed a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and struck him and put him to death, and he became king in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah. 31 Now as for 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.

Jotham over Judah

32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of [m]Uzziah king of Judah became king. 33 (V)He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. 34 (W)He did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he acted in accordance with everything that his father Uzziah had done. 35 Only (X)the high places were not eliminated; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. (Y)He built the upper gate of the house of the Lord. 36 Now as for the rest of the acts of Jotham which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 37 In those days (Z)the Lord began to send Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah. 38 And Jotham [n]lay down with his fathers, and he was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David; and his son Ahaz became king in his place.
